How to get three presale code without logging into their site (legacy system)

There's no need to go through the hazzle of logging into the plus three website, the legacy system still works. Here's how:

As soon as a gig at the Point Depot, aka the Point, aka the o2, aka 3arena is announced:

(1) Text the artist name to 51020
(from an Irish three mobile or o2 mobile number).

The following variations are common:

one word bandname:
AEROSMITH

for multiple word bandnames/longer bandnames you may need to try multiple versions:
KINGS
KINGSOFLEON
STONES

Same with artists name. It's usually first name only:
ARIANA

The system is likely to trigger an error message if the wrong request text was sent, so just try another variation of the band/artist name if you receive an error or never receive the promo code.


(2) Go to this URL and get the Link for buying the tickets.

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/promo/6byw2w
(this URL never changes, it has been the same since at least 2009)
You can also use this shortcut if that's easier to remember:
mil.army/3presale

(3) Pray that you don't need to click on pictures of storefronts when presale starts! :rolleyes:
