Depeche Mode - Malahide, June 14th 2023.

DepecheHead101 · 04-10-2022 11:26AM #1

Seen it posted in the Irish Gigs thread but the Depeche support in Ireland's always mighty craic so surely thread worthy?

I know people have misgivings over getting to and fro Malahide but I'm over the moon they're not playing the 3 Arena in winter this time. Getting them nice and early for a summer night outdoors.

I'd pay to go and watch them anywhere (have many times in many countries).....but Malahide is way down my list of gig venues. I'll still go if it happens, haven't been since Prince played there.

I agree. It's certainly a bit different to see them outdoors. Of all the suitable venues (capacity-wise), Malahide would have got my vote (I thought The Cure worked really well there), so I'm delighted about that. I'm glad that they've not left us out. Having skipped Ireland on a few tours (The Singles and Exciter), they've always included a Dublin show since Touring the Angel.

Yeah thought The Cure were belting there. Felt like a massive reunion of heads of all kinds under the sun. If the vibe's the same for Depeche it'll be smashing.

Thrilled that they are playing Ireland. Have never seen them.

Gutted they are playing Malahide Castle midweek. Will have to figure out an alternative to the last shitshow of getting there and back from The Killers.

Saw The Killers in Malahide this year and it was grand, lots of food choices, the bars were no different to other outdoor venues and thankfully got a Travelmaster bus up

DepecheHead101 · 04-10-2022 12:00PM

Never had a problem getting the train to and fro the the city centre myself. Should be a gentler crowd than most too.

It's a fantastic spot inside it. As said decent food, all neatly laid out, was quite handy to sit in your spot and get back to and from it from the jacks.

Here's the presale link:

Going by that no golden circle, only General Admission

Irish Gunner · 04-10-2022 03:23PM

Seen them few times from sfx to rds to point but school night hmmmm

They play Twickenham on the Saturday and family near there. Saw stones play there so might be tempted depending on costs

DepecheHead101 · 05-10-2022 08:08AM

So there's a golden circle after all.

I was in the pre-sale queue at 9 so it's either a pretty damn small circle or MCD are holding them back to inflate the prices later on.

delbertgrady · 05-10-2022 08:12AM

The equivalent event page for Arctic Monkeys also stated General Admission, and they had a Gold Circle, so I wasn't entirely surprised that Depeche Mode had one too. Glad to get one and be done with it.

Gold Circle is still standing right? :D

PTH2009 · 05-10-2022 08:37AM

Yeah its just a fancy name for the pit

A lot more expensive then I thought but got a golden circle ticket just there. Can't see a 2nd date with those prices

Something to look forward too I suppose and nice to get the ticket cost out of the way

bureau2009 · 05-10-2022 08:52AM

Indoor gig - I'm in.

Outdoor gig - I'm out.

And I had been looking forward for the next DM gig.

Going to be very strange without Andy Fletcher.

Big Game · 05-10-2022 09:03AM

Is the pre sale just an open link or is it limited to x amount of tickets per mail? Normally get a weekly mail from MCD with pre sale links, didn't realise you had to register for this and was closed when I twigged it this morning.

If anyone has it and wants to share a pm would be much appreciated!

hynesie08 · 05-10-2022 09:04AM

Very reasonably priced gig, Might pick up a ticket closer to the date, can't plan this far ahead just yet.

Ah raging. I was presented with the options but when I went to purchase it said standard was best available.

Oh well.

Email ticketmaster and they should be able to upgrade you unless it's sold out, which the presale allocation might be.

Nice one! They look to be gone alright but as luck would have it a few mates are going to pick up general standing too so feck it. Sometimes it's nice and loose back with the proles!

fozzy97 · 05-10-2022 09:56AM

Is the gold circle in malahide worth it? Never been there or heard of gold Circle tix?

The view points were great for all angles for The Killers a few months ago.

Was just an open link on email I received after 10am. Worked for me without any registration. I'll PM it to you. Only got my tickets in the last hour.
