    Anyone else thinking of trying for tickets for these dates? Was hoping to get some although I see that there's an artist presale and spotify presale which probably means most tickets will be gone in those before general sale :(

    Anyone get tickets? Took ages for the select options to come up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 117 ✭✭Tuhula


    No luck - did anyone get any? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    No, My presale link didn't work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 marpad


    I got them for Sunday, tried Saturday as soon as I got the email and it was taking ages to load so reckoned I would have better luck with Sunday and got them. Just went for best available and got standing so not sure if there were seated ones available in presale. Delighted!

    Quickest pre sale in history!! 9.03 and nothin available


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    There's two pre-sales going on at the minute, on from Hozier's site and one from Spotify...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 marpad


    I got them through the spotify presale


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Judes


    Im furious - I parked at side of road. I had everything ready for presale at 09.00 I even got as far as getting Balcony Seats 8 and 9 Row A in INEC - and then Ticketmaster wouldn't recognise my password which is correct. Then it kept stating I didn't get have an account. So then I tried to restart and it told me I did have an account. So then I lost my perfect tickets and now can't get onto my Eircom address as problem with Eir - ticketmaster won't recognise me - and my friend sitting next to me on her PC trying to look it up to help me and she kept getting referred to tickets for over €100 each on another site. So there you have it - the touts seemed to have grabbed the "4 tickets" per person and already selling at huge profit.

    I'm just so damn angry at the system - the storm - you name it - the Gods have conspired against me.

    I'm trying to get Olympia tickets with no joy. Got two INEC tickets in my bag no problem about 3 minutes ago when I went to test it

    Tickets available right now for INEC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Judes


    But I can't get into it - an hour ago I couldn't get into my Eircom address - problem with Eir webmail - and I tried phoning Ticketmaster Customer line so I can sort out once and for all WHY it isn't recognising I have an account and then when I try to restart telling me I do have an account. But the lines keep cutting out from Ticketmaster recordings. I'll try INEC directly but I don't think they can sell presale tickets - as my local Ticketmaster outlet can't sell them until Fri???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I had no joy with artist presale and was on the button at 9am this morning.

    Tried Spotify presale at 9.25 and was able to get two tickets in the balcony and two standing in separate transactions.

    Did you reset your password after the data security breach ?
    If not you will have to do so.

    Does anyone happen to have a link to the Spotify presale for Killarney? Probably a bit late but thought I should chance it.

    Thank you Zardoz - would you believe when I went through all there on the link you sent me it recognised my usual password and I was able to get straight in - of course that wouldn't happen this morning. I bought tickets 2 weeks ago for China Crisis gig in Cork - and reset the password at the time - and because I was having a prob clicking into "whatever" I ended up buying 2 sets of 2 tickets when I only wanted 1 set. But others friends are taking them. So it breaks down to this I did have all the right details but for some reason - nothing would accept me. (Are the Gods preventing me from seeing Hozier - I'm still crying over EP Tickets for 2019)

    €33.50 each, plus fees so almost €40

    There's one ticket left at the moment on the left balcony on the spotify presale

    Yeah can't seem to get any for any date. Ah well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭nehemiah


    Same.

    I probably say this every time, but there has to be a better system.

    There was probably only a handful on sale anyway.

    Chances of him announcing another gig in the Olympia on the Tuesday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭passremarkable


    Couldn’t get any

    Tickets still available for INEC if you can cope with the track to Kerry, nice venue


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭WithCheesePlease


    I have completely lost my knack with buying tickets on ticketmaster. Would love to know how people end up getting through. Had the page open 5 mins before on 2 devices and still had no luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭ruadh


    Hi had two tickets secured but the app would not take any card, debit or credit. Kept getting an Oops - Error message. Very annoying.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭Benbecul97


    Online at 9, 7 times got tickets, clicked "Get Tickets" 7 times only to get the "It's not you - it's us. We're sorry, something went wrong." message 7 times. On the 8th attempt, around 09:10, eventually got 2 standing for INEC. Email confirmation arrived at 09:13. Keep trying. 


    Gig after gig, the Ticketmaster website/system is continually proving to be a joke with nothing being done about it.

    Same thing happened to me. So frustrating!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 117 ✭✭Tuhula


    Logged in on Laptop, opened up app on phone, on phone had two tickets add to cart - log in - account does not exist! Although I am logged in on the laptop! Would not accept my email address - even though I logged in on Wednesday for presale! So infuriating.

    The new queuing system makes it alot harder to buy tickets ,its full or bugs.
    General sales like today are a waste of time ,they probably sold most of the tickets in the presale and held back a load too.
    Its all a hype generating exercise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,516 ✭✭✭Wheety


    My experience is that waiting in the queue doesn't work. I refresh the page and also have the app open. I keep going in for at least 10 minutes, constantly refreshing. Even after it tells you no tickets left, I find, more often than not, I'll end up getting tickets. There's probably some poor sap somewhere who lost them after having them in their basket, but I've been that sap on occasion too.

    Edit: Oh, and of course, make sure you're logged in and credit card is up to date in your account.

    Although I had the issue above with card not being accepted last week for The Coronas. Luckily when I got into work they had just added th 4th night and I got tickets no problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Judes


    I was phoning the INEC at 09.00 on the dot this morning - at one stage both my mobile and landline were on so I'd answer which ever first. By 09.03 I was told all sold out. (That was directly from the INEC - 3 minutes). At the same time my friend was on to ticket master to try and get 3 tickets. Thankfully she succeeded. So delighted to say the 3 of us are going.

    But I've spent half the week trying everything - and yes - Ticketmaster is a DISASTER. And tickets are already on sale on another site for same gig at over €100 per ticket - I thought this was all illegal now.

    It isn't fair - it shows that the touts are winning - every damn time.

    Maybe in future it will have to be 2 tickets per person. At least more people will have a chance of getting them vs. the touts.

    So I know I am very lucky but I managed to snag tickets to both Sunday and Monday in the Olympia. We have decided we will go on Sunday so I want to give the Monday ones to a friend who didn't manage to get tickets. Problem is that they seem to be only the eticket option on your phone, no PDF/print off ticket option. I can give my friend my credit card but from experience do they allow you in? It says on their website that they will check photo ID matches credit card and that you have to actually attend yourself so even if I go down to the Olympia (I don't live in Dublin so this would be a pain) only way for her to go in would be with me. Also presume they won't swap them for hard tickets for me? Anyone have any experience?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭Benbecul97


    INEC was not sold out in 3 minutes. I got tickets for INEC at 09:10 via Ticketmaster.ie

    People give up far too easily. I've often gotten tickets at 9:15-9:30. More so with bigger venues as tickets in people's baskets are released. While there are people on Twitter from 9:02 claiming no tickets were released to the public.

    Can happen with smaller venues too, just less likely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    Gigs are never sold out in less than 20 minutes. Usually takes 3 minutes or so before all the tickets are held up in the queue, but if ye wait another couple minutes, some of those queued tickets get released back into the pool.

    Still didn't get a ticket for any of the gigs though, was ran off my feet in work this morning and forgot :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,012 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Is it only 1 date for INEC?

    If anyone desperately needs a Hozier fix but couldn't get tickets for his own gigs...

    It was the INEC's box office who said sold out at 09.03 - so they were obviously only allowed to sell a certain number of tickets - hence my friend was able to get them for INEC on ticketmaster at the same time. J

    Really want tickets for this. What are the chances of more tickets going on sale? The Cure were apparantly sold out but more tickets have been available on ticketmaster this week 🀞

    I was holding out hope that he would do the friday in Killarney, since he announced today that he's back in killarney next summer, it's highly unlikely :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,015 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Upper Circle available for Monday night now on Ticketmaster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 595 ✭✭✭dmm82


    Thanks so much for that!! Got 2. Delighted :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭BurtMacklin


    Gone again it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,015 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Tickets back on sale for every night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 595 ✭✭✭dmm82


    That's so annoying that they keep doing that. It's either sold out or it's not!
