    Checked again this morning and 208.30 for 2 standing tickets..uggh



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 908 ✭✭✭skaface


    Got 2 standing, so delighted.. bit pricey, but what harm..worth every penny



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭DJB030244


    Yeah what was that about ? I could only get the 97E ones . To be honest I’m delighted to be going again but the pricing has gone crazy for concerts

    I see they have added another Berlin show on making it 3.. it’s actually incredible the amount they are selling now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 722 ✭✭✭justfortherecor


    Was there ever any €77 tickets actually available or do they bump up the general admission standing tickets to €97 or something for the benefit of getting early access to them through the presale?

    Anyway, I capitulated and bought 4. Missed Malahide, so delighted they're coming back and playing at an indoor venue on a Saturday - will build a day/night out around it.

    €97 euro! wowza. That's scandalous.

    Couple that with the price of drinks in the Three Arena and you're talking what, over 300 euro for two people for a night out?

    Would really love to go as I missed Malahide but I'm not sure it's worth that kind of cash tbh.

    Well all of us that went to malahide are going again. Got seated tickets this time. Block G so probably rubbish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,062 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Livenation are going all out to try and raise prices across the board.

    It only takes a few acts to jack up the prices, Springsteen, Taylor Swift and a few others and these prices become the norm.

    Any bum wants to charge 100 euro these day.

    I feel dirty but paid up like a chump



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 246 ✭✭com7


    Believe me they re worth it ..saw them at Malahide and they were class !



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,427 ✭✭✭fafy


    All Standing tickets are €97, seating starts FROM €77, at the very back


    Surprised to see plenty still available

    You'll still have a great view in the back row in the 3Arena



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Ozvaldo


    Got tickets be my second time seeing this tour cant wait saw them in europe a few weeks ago



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭Peter File


    Picked up standing tickets this morning. There were no €77 tickets available for us today. I hoped standing would have been less expensive but I'll pay it for these legends.

    Ticketmaster worked well for us today



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,355 ✭✭✭borderlinemeath


    One thing I HATE about 3Arena when seated is the constant movement of other seated customers to get to the bar. There's just so little legroom as it is that having somebody try and squeeze past you to get back to their seat while they're carrying 4 pints and you're trying to hold your own drink and stop your coat from falling into the slops on the ground....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭Aladdin Sane


    Standing tickets priced at €97 this morning are now €155, and no, these are not resale tickets.

    it seems the dynamic pricing policy that Ticketmaster employs in the states has reached our shores.

    This is a sickening development.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,825 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    +1 for that

    I try go for Aisle seats instead of been squashed in the middle of the row and getting dirty looks for making the delicate darlings move



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,355 ✭✭✭borderlinemeath


    Easier said than done when you're trying to get a decent ticket. If you don't fork out for the decent (or as they're called now VIP) seats you've little choice when you're looking for an aisle seat. It's sometimes more comfortable to stand.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,062 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Its been there for a long time, its only going to get worse.

    The resale legislation introduced here was deeply flawed, it has given Ticketmaster free reign to charge what they want now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Very expensive but it's my birthday present so that's good excuse !

    I wish bands would take control of this excessive pricing like The Cure have done.

    Have gone on about this before so won't again ...

    As other Depeche mode fans have noted elsewhere, since fletch has died the connection between DM and fans is cut.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Anyway looks very weird . Gouging resale tickets as far as I can see .

    No ordinary level tickets , for standing available on site . Only tickets available are platinum or resale tickets at absolutely astronomical prices ffs. Looking at €300 plus for up in the clouds , bad seats or worse in seats closer .

    Love DM but this crazy money and as @Stillill42 said " we'll always have Malahide " .

    For those who haven't might be worth it , but I won't be paying upwards of €250 for myself and my oh to go to a concert that we have seen already ...it is just ruining it .

    Am I right here lads or is there something going on with the site?

    I may try to get 2 standing tickets elsewhere , but not at those mad prices .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,624 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    There are resale tickets for 115e listed (base price). Am guessing they are poor location wise.

    Too late now but worth signing up for the mcd mailing list and register for presale.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭Aladdin Sane


    The €155 tickets are not resale tickets.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭Shank Williams




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Thanks odyssey.

    Too late for this one but will do for the rest.

    Those €115 tickets plus fees are far in the clouds. I hate anything except the lower tier or top tier front rows in 3 Arena.

    Any of those decent tickets which are normally first come first served are on sale alright, as platinum or VIP tickets at mad prices!

    If I had not seen them in Malahide I probably would bite but its too much now to see them, so close, again. For me anyhow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Dave Gahan will be getting a strongly worded message on the fansite from me! 😁

    If Robert Smith can stand up to these money grabbing ticket agents and he did on the recent American leg, DM can do likewise.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,041 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    repeat ad naseum it’s DM who set the ticket price not the ticket agents.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,372 ✭✭✭alias no.9


    Malahide was my first time seeing DM live and really didn't want to miss the opportunity to see them in 3Arena.

    Got 4 of the €97 tickets in the MCD Presale, thought it was a bit spicy but **** me €155 is heading towards the price of a weekend festival ticket. I hope this bites MCD in the ass and at the very least gives them tetanus if not rabies.

    They will release more standing and lower tier seats, they always do.

    They always hold back good seats for The 1878 and The Premium Club and they release the surplus a few weeks after the general sale.

    There wont be any issues getting tickets for this show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    As I said ref Dave Gahan vs Robert Smith.

    Higher the price higher cuts for agents as well across the board.

    Its all about percentages and precedents.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,278 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Well Dave got back to me via MCD, and I got 2 standing tickets € 208 incl fees 😁

    " Reach out and touch mey ! "



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,825 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    €155 for a 'Standing ticket' is crazy

    €55-€65 more you could get an early entry Standing ticket' and at least gives you something a little extra

    '• Standing ticket into the standing floor

    • Early entry into your designated area before standard ticket holders

    • Limited Edition Depeche Mode gift item

    • Official commemorative tour laminate & lanyard

    • On site event staff & merchandise collection point'

    Pretty much!

    I bought Tool tickets in the 3Arena the moment they went on sale and only managed awful seats up in the gods.

    Chanced my arm a week before the gig and managed to get some of the best seats in the house for the lowest price, right in front of the stage. I'd say some of the people sitting around me paid several times what my tickets cost. It's mad.
