    I think everyone has had that problem since 8am. Even when it did go through just after 8 it said tickets weren't available online 'at this time'

    I've had the "Step1: Ticket Selection" screen on for ages..
    Keeps timing out.. :(

    Guys do you think its a lost cause and I should just go and get some breakfast...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,632 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    I've never seen so many people in work early today!
    When you ring the phone (0818), I keep getting "this is Eircom..."
    The Internet is just as bad.
    Anybody explain why you can buy 6 tickets?
    Surely a fairer way is for a max of 4 tickets for each person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭Diabolus


    i got the last of saturday! :p

    Argh!! NOeeeee it timed out!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty

    Despite the fact it seems to have been impossible to buy them online or over the phone? I smell a rat.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    i raced to work, was here at 8:40 no one here..FECK first saturday is sold out, finally someone opens up.. get in and as i sit down at computer... second gig is sold out...

    I hope people who required 2 tickets had the foresight to order 4 and sell them on boards for the same price? :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 8,679 Mod ✭✭✭✭Rew


    Rumour has it that the Sunday gig will be announced and go on sale today by 1pm...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,375 ✭✭✭kmick


    Spent 8-9 on tickemaster.ie with my 512 connection and redialing on my phone. Tickets are now sold out and i dont have any. It was mainly for my girlfriend as she likes them. I wasted a whole hour of my life on this and I will never waste another minute on that ticketmaster site. The ultimate gip. To those at ticketmaster and (U2 for using them) I wish you a slow and painful death complicated by syphillis.

    What he said (except we've got broadband in work) :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,991 ✭✭✭el tel


    Yup, all sold out - I saved a fortune!

    It is a bit **** thay people can buy up to six tickets -
    potentially that means that with only around 20,000 individuals
    making a purchase, it's sold out. The limit should be 4 tickets max.
    I was online at 0755 and still had no chance. I don't think
    queing this morning would have made much difference either as yesterday at
    6pm it had started already on Nassau Street.

    I say F**k ticketmaster and whoever else is responsible.

    queing for tickets is a complete waste of time,and i refuse to ever do it again. i queued for slane tickets from midnight, and by the time the place finally opened so many **** had let there mates into the queue that it took forever to get into the shop, and as i walked in, i was told that it had sold out, what a pile of ****.

    When i was lookin for two tickets for Oxegen last summer, a couple returned theirs, the guy hadn't entered into the PC yet and still refused to sell them to me!

    I was in UCD at 8.15am this morning - a lost cause!

    jealousy doesnt begin to describe the feelings i have towards you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭nl


    I hope to god that they do add Sunday. I was up at 7:30 this morning and had 5 firefox tabs open all trying to get tickets from sh** Ticketmaster. No good.
    Just cant believe they sold around 200,000 tickets in a hour. Who gets the edge(excuse the pun) anyway, the people who buy online(which is what I thought) or the people who que. dont think i spelt that right

    Getting people's hopes all up is a bit nasty though..

    Edit: Ok, not the first to point it out.
