Thing is that touts would be willing to do that also.

Upper circle?

Olympia theatre doesn't have an event on Sunday 19 May.... Fingers crossed for second gig

s8n

doubtful, the band are only playing single shows on the entire tour

mrcheez

still some in Belfast if any are doing the slog

s8n

folks, If anyone has a spare standing for Dublin I will gladly take it and offer a ticket for Belfast in addition

Hmmm im surprised this 'sold out' but its not sold out..i got tickets for 2 recent Olympia shows which were 'sold out' in the days before the gigs..just keep checking toutless and then ticketmaster in the week leading up to the show..they were some of the best seats in the house by the way clearly held back for the band/production..circle rows A and B. So dont give up hope just yet!

Allowing people to buy 8 tickets at a time for an event in the Olympia is an absolute unholy disgrace. What are Ticketmaster playing at??

following the promoters instructions (or lack thereof) most likely.

The promoter being MCD which is now Livenation which owns Ticketmaster.
Its laughable the way that you can buy 8 tickets but the only e ticket option is on your mobile phone.
8 tickets on one phone ,ridiculous.

At least the Olympia has hard copy ticket option. The Academy doesnt even have that unless you pay a fiver for 'speedy dispatch with gift wrap'

Rumours have it that Alice In Chains and Korn are soon set to announce a co-headlining tour in the summer - not sure if that will extend to Europe but its an interesting one.

Korn fan myself and don't know much about AIC but I do like a few of their song and I'm sure that can be said vice versa.

Im guessing the tour will be an American tour

I really should join a mailing list or something, tickets sold out when I find out. I like their performances of the old songs but don't think the new material is that good. I only heard of them last year and Would has became one of my favourite songs, it was released the summer I was born.

Keep an eye on this forum. It's a good way to keep up to speed on upcoming gigs.

Hello. So I have two seated tickets for Alice in Chains. I can no longer go. I want to sell them at face value. The only thing is that they are mobile only tickets! I selected e-tickets when I was buying them, I thought it would go to my email so I could print them. Does anyone know how to change them from mobile tickets or how to sell them otherwise?

Does anybody know who is supporting in Dublin and Belfast, see BRMC are supporting on a few of the Europe leg ...

Unfortunately this will continue to happen until Ticketmaster stop selling at 8 tickets per person for small capacity gigs. It's a joke.

You'd have thought that basic common sense would determine that but I guess not.

Pretty sure i saw something when the Irish gigs were announced that BRMC would not be supporting but cant remember from where.

Odd no support has been anounced yet

Yeah it's a shame it never worked out and he had to go back to AIC name. Think I'd prefer a Jerry show with a few AIC thrown in as opposed to AIC without layne. Even though Jerry is the genius behind all the songs, the vocals were too much of it for me.

I take your point, I love Layne too, but the stuff with Will is really good, I don't know if you have checked out Will era AIC but it's genuinely really good.

That being said I'd love someday to see Jerry do a solo tour again, his solo stuff is amazing.

Agree with all you said bar the Jerry is the genuis behind all the songs.Layne wrote a fair bit too and had lots of influence on alot of the best AIC songs.

Will is obviously talented but not one post Layne song holds a candle to the stuff they did before Laynes passing.

I really like BGWTB and Rainier Fog, but yeah Layne era Chains is the best, I could listen to Unplugged all day and often have.

I just view them as a different band. I love the new stuff, Rainier Fog is class and the 3 albums they've done with Will are 3 of my favourites of the last few years. I'd happily go and see a show made up of stuff from just the new albums, funnily enough!

Saying that, Layne Staley is one of my favourite vocalists of all time. He was utterly unique. One of the all time greats. It's fantastic that his music is still heard and still so popular.

Oh I love the new stuff, but I'd imagine it's what Jerry would have wrote solo anyway, if ya get me. Actually Your Decision is playing now, would fit perfect on degradation trip. But the name was needed to make some cash I spose.

All opinions I guess, I just love Jerry's solo stuff, he kinda proved he could do it all. I don't think we'd have a load of stuff from Layne in a room by himself, but maybe in wrong obviously he had a lot of issues with drugs too where Jerry had to finish songs by himself etc.

But I love layne! And one of my favourite vocalists. And wish I'd seen him in his prime! Absolute legend.

Need to throw on some Mad Season!

(the liner notes by Jerry on music bank are a cool read actually)

Love Mad Season, 'Above' is a great record!

All of Live at the Moore is up on YouTube now as well.

Must be rehearsing the run here as they've hit Dublin already which makes it a real shame they never squeezed in another show.

I'm selling two to a poster from here. Meant to be tomorrow. If that falls through then you're next in line.

D.Q

Thanks very much! I'd only need the one though, if anyone needs a Belfast ticket let me know if I get sorted for Dublin, if that date suits anyone here better.
