Or even Croke Park yeah your right tickets for gigs nowadays are a disgrace shows over here in particular are well overpriced I saw Billy Corgan in the Olympia for 70 euro and he had the same show for 25 euro in Scotland like why is the price difference so big. I reckon it will be 100 minimum for AC/DC to just get your foot in the place and they will have all of the golden circle crap and premium seats to cash in no doubt though they will sell them all

    To answer your question as to why the price difference is so big, its because the promoters know there are people like you willing to pay crazy prices for gigs.

    any links to this? I see on a forum a guy saying £27.50 for standing and calling it superreasonable, presumably before fees too.

    Difference is huge at £27.50, but was it really 25euro?

    Glasgow was £27.50, not €25. It seems to have been the cheapest show of the tour - less than half the price of Dublin - but other dates included Grevenmacher for €33 (also half the Dublin price), Hamburg €44, Paris €50 and Utrecht €41. These prices don't include fees, but even so. If you bought online, as most people probably did, an Olympia ticket was €77.65.

    Also, transport, insurance and a million other things that are associated with bringing a gig here that can't be spread out across multiple gigs/countries. I'm sure promoters tack on a few quid, but they've also got no safety net if it doesn't sell....

    I don't see any of that as being a whole heap more expensive than any other country. They use the same trucks and only need to pay for a ferry.

    The only real problem would be the delay in getting to and from here, but if they make Ireland the first or last stop of a tour, then it usually isn't a problem.

    Haha but Billy Corgan was the example given, hardly a wealth of trucks required for that step off the ferry with a few guitars in duffel bags and thanks for the money suckas, for the money paid and it sold out I barely heard a peep about the show.

    Villagers announced December gigs in Cork and Dublin. Seems to be new trend of bands announcing new gigs straight after their other ones. https://twitter.com/wearevillagers/status/1153228664710021122?s=19

    Their last gig in the Button Factory was class, I could watch the guitarist all day on those pedals - but it seems he has now quit the band and they are touring as a 2 piece?

    Curious to see how that would work but that happens to be my wedding day, feck sake :pac:

    Does anyone know in this case do TM tickets get refunded automatically if bought online or will they make us jump through few hoops?

    Only other cancellation I've had was Phoenix last year and refunds were processed automatically, but it was a few weeks wait if I recall.

    Hope the band are all OK, but damn I'm gutted about this. I was really looking forward to it.
