Was that the gig with the two drummers? I wasn’t there but I think there were highlights on RTE

That was the previous Olympia show, the Adore tour. RTÉ had a highlights show, preceded by an interview with Billy, conducted by Tom Dunne.

No, that was the earlier gig. 2000 had no D'arcy. Melissa Auf Der Maur played bass.

some gigs youre better off taking what ya get, most times you can 'trade' in older tickets for better ones (if available)

PTH2009

Theyll be a new band member going forward

This seems to be selling well, strange how fickle people can be.

Billy played a superb solo show in 2019 in the Olympia and it didnt even sell out.

It's not really a fickle thing. I wouldn't go into my back garden to see a Billy Corgan solo show but love (old) Smashing Pumpkins.

I thought it had sold well. I was up the front in the Stalls, though. No idea what it was like in the back of the Circle or in the Gods. People weren't impressed with the high price (€77.65, once you added all the online fees), so may have opted to stay away. A tiny Church venue in Glasgow was an extraordinary £27.50, and other shows were much cheaper than Dublin too: Grevenmacher €33, Hamburg €44, Paris €50, Utrecht €41.

Exactly, plus Weezer on the bill too.

I don't want to hear Billy Corgan solo songs. Ideally I won't hear any post-2000 songs next June either.

Prices are a bit crazy for this!!! 😣

RolandGoose

They are trying to shift as many VIP tickets as they can first. There will be plenty of semi-normal priced tickets available closer to the time.

Teen Mortgage who supported Off! in The Grand Social recently added as openers.

RolandGoose

Perhaps an indication that it's not selling as well as they hoped / expected.

I am glad people are not falling for this VIP nonsense. There was enough casualties of this tactic at Coldplay.

Teen Mortgage won’t affect sales at all with how big they are. Bit daft why they’re even bothering with a support act as well because it’ll only cause Weezer to have a shorter set

suvigirl

I was away when this went on sale and ticketmaster were having none of me!!!

What's with all these ridiculous notion tickets? Please tell me they will be turned into normal tickets closer to the day? I don't want any experiences, I want to see smashing pumpkins play a gig 🙄

Very often platinum tickets and the likes are downgraded and sold at "normal" price nearer the gig, I'd imagine it'll happen in this case

No way of knowing when, sadly, just case of checking Ticketmaster periodically. Probably not until a few weeks before, though

piplip87

Lads the wife bought me a ticket for xmas and let it slip. I already had one. Its up on TM standing ticket for face value

PTH2009

Must be in dire straits if there going public

Whoever gets the gig will have some story to tell and wish everyone all the best

I'll chuck in my CV for that. Won't get it obviously but that'd be mental getting to tour with them.

Surely it's more that they just have relatively straight forward parts to play? A band like them could easily hire a touring musician

krazymuthafuka

I'm trying to get two tickets. If anyone is selling please give me a nudge, thanks.

Arghus

Seems to be impossible to get a sniff of tickets anywhere.

Electric Nitwit

Have Ticketmaster opened up resales yet?

It's usually closer to the time that they do, and that people's plans get in the way. I'd say there'll be a few pop up a week or two before the day

Jaffa3000

Resale is available, transfer isn’t

Ticketmaster used to release extra tickets for gigs in the 3arena regularly in the past but their latest policy is to sell these as platinum.

Electric Nitwit

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121986524#Comment_121986524

If/when they realise these aren't selling they do often drop them back down to standard price. No way of knowing when though, annoyingly, you just have to be lucky to be checking at the right time

I held off as I'm still not sure if I can make it, but I'm quietly confident that a ticket will be available if I decide to go

exilec

one standing resale just gone up face value

Jaffa3000

Stage times off MCD, bit hard to read but Teen Mortgage on at 6.30, Weezer 7.15 and Pumpkins at 9. Looks like Weezer will only end up doing an hour or so again which is very annoying as they haven’t done a proper headline show in about 20 years here. Don’t really get why the need for a support band

Electric Nitwit

Suggests Pumpkins will probably only do 90mins too 😕

PTH2009

More excited for Weezer than Pumpkins
