Sorry for stepping away from the thread subject momentarily - but has there really been any gig in recent years which has proper sold out, and where it was next to impossible to get a ticket for. With the birth of social media and toutless, there will nearly always be tickets available. The only one I can recall myself is when the National played in Vicar Street recently. And for Green Day in Kilmainham, there were very few spares available, even right up to the gig.

Yeah it's rare the gig you won't get tickets for if you're determined.

Outdoor gigs are never an issue, apart maybe from u2 in Croke Park last time, but even then, all my pals who wanted one got sorted eventually..

boyznoise

There is always ticket drops even for the most sought after gigs, picked up 2 tickets for U2 for the Sat night week of gig the other week.

minzabud

Got two an hour ago, friend tried just now and none available.

boyznoise

Looks like all gone, I would still keep trying every so often though

boyznoise

Back on sale again

Questionable?

Grayditch

kegg

Fair play boyznoise! Got 2 tickets today!

Granite Head

Got one just now.

TJ Mackie

Again, thanks so much for the heads up. Got 2 tickets just now, my fiance is absolutely over the moon.

How do you find out when they release more tickets? If I don't get two by Christmas for herself and her sister I may as well pack the dog and leave.

Thespoofer

Just had a look for a couple of tickets. None available only inflated prices from touts which I refuse to pay.
If anyone knows of face value tickets available let me know.
Thanks.

Looks like there are more tickets up on ticketmaster at the moment - I just got two.

Glad you and the dog will have a roof over your heads this Christmas

Just got x2 tickets from Ticketmaster ( e tickets?). Can't believe it, actually found out there was more tickets available by accident and went ahead and bought.
So looking forward to the concert.

Not complaining as I've managed to nab tix for a few friends who missed out, but what the hell is going on?

Strange that tix seem to up every day

Anti-tout tactic I'd imagine.

Maybe promoters underestimated the demand for tickets (it's been a while since The Cure played a solo gig here) and are in the process of expanding capacity of the gig.

Hoboo

Very possibly. Just guessing. Past few years has seen similar drip feeding, but no idea.

I think the sold out thing is an ego trip for artists. Its always sold out in 45 minutes. Makes them feel a bit important and also makes people panic into looking for tickets and creating additional demand.

I think they do tranches. E.g. if there is a max capacity of 20k, they release 15k and if they sell out they release another 5k in a few months.
