Eddie Vedder

Looks like he might be coming in June for a Dublin date or two.
Rumours firming up given he's headlining a festival in Florence. Glen Hansard and the cranberries on the same bill.
Let's see.

I just got 2 tickets very easily on TM at 12.30.

No worries. I'm just glad somebody on here got a face value ticket instead of that disgrace that is Seatwave.

Surely couldn't be dumb enough to put that up as a screenshot and not notice their own tickets showing on the webpage.

Looks like they're gone already for Dublin. I was able to get Block A and G seats about 5 minutes ago but they were right in the corner so not ideal. I'd say keep trying throughout the day as more might become available

Anyone know if their are any tickets left in Cork?

Whatever about individual touts - might be a discussion for another time? If Ticketmaster themselves are shipping tickets directly from 'general sale' to Seatwave (possibly 'selling' them to Seatwave to make it a cleaner transaction), that's where we should focus, right?

Really want to get a larger discussion going about this. Do you think it's worth emailing/calling our local TDs and seeing if the attention of our politicians can be engaged?

Seatwave is not shrouded in mystery, promoters allocate a certain percentage of tickets for viagogo and Seatwave these days.

They can sometimes be the best seats in the house for example in the Bord Gais arena the tout sites will always seem to have the front rows.

Put the kettle on for this eye opener

So you decided to post not one but TWO dummy listings to check previous sales? Your listing are very specific also and in line with the market prices. I'm not buying it.

Perhaps he works in sales, like me. Whenever I post dummy listings I always find myself offering them for €9.99.

I noticed that if you go to post a dummy listing it tells you previous sales prices and also shows actually numbers of tickets up for sale.

Does the process of entering a dummy listing provide you with suggested prices? '€345' sounds fairly specific and exactly in line with what was being offered by people genuinely selling tickets.

Vedder only has two short solo albums, so it won't take you long to catch up in that regard. The first is the soundtrack to Into the Wild and the other is a selection of songs based around the ukulele. Neither was particularly well received although l love Into the Wild. I'd actually recommend watching the film as well because it really adds to your appreciation of the album.

Pearl Jam is where it gets tricky. They're 10 albums deep. I'm sure a bit of Googling will tell you what albums he draws from most in his solo shows but you can't go wrong with their debut, Ten, or even their two-disc best of, Rearviewmirror (re-issued at The Essential Pearl Jam).

Thanks so much for the info.

I've seen and love the movie so I'd be casually aware of his work on that.

I'll just dive right into Pearl Jam so.

It looks as if you are selling tickets on SW also? The highlighted tickets are clearly yours with the 'edit' button beside them.

Let's not jump to conclusions here. I've just flicked through cruhoortwunk's previous posts and he just has a genuine interest in gigs that sell out or might sell out. Every man needs a hobby.

I took a few screenshots this morning of Seatwave/TM antics. This was around 8:30am this morning.
The presale was on yesterday, but limited to 2 per person/code.
And yet 2 sellers(probably both seatwave/TM) have 20 hard copy(tickets in hand) tickets each for sale. No way they could physically have them in hand that quick, and no way they could have 2 batches of 20 each. The only valid explanation is TM/SW are holding tickets aside from the general sale and selling directly on SW themselves.

Note that they show as 10 on the main page, but it's actually 20 if you dig
a little bit deeper.
I often see single batches of 20-25 hard copy 'in hand' tickets like this, even ahead of tickets going on general sale.

Yeah it's utterly unfair to people at work who can't sit and try for an hour to get tickets.

I got my standing ticket for Cork ,after waiting for ages .
Had to try repeatedly on phone and desktop ,but got it so happy enough.

Ticketmasters site struggled yet again this morning ,those clowns are doing themselves no favours at all by putting too many events on sale at 9am .
Eddie Vedder Ireland and UK,Alice Cooper Dublin,Jamiroquai UK tour,Steps Uk and Ireland tour,Lady Antebellum Uk and Ireland tour .

The sooner they stop selling tickets in outlets the better as they can stagger these ticket sales instead of the nonsense we currently have.

Always 9am and Friday mornings. Why? They don't care about fans and the gigs are gonna sell out either way. How about 6pm on Tuesday evening or 10am on Saturday morning? They're selfish bastards so you'd think they'd make it even easier on themselves and their IT support. There must be some behind-the-scenes rationale because to the punters it makes no sense and doesn't work.

I think in the future, if there are artists that are going to offer tickets through memebership sites, pre sale access, then i think thats probably the only way you will be guaranteed a ticket, cause trying to purchase tickets on general sale now through ticketmaster is impossible!!!!!

Unfortunately being in the membership clubs doesn't even guarantee tickets. I missed out on tickets in the 10 club sale for the Dublin gig a few years back. I got them easily enough on ticketmaster the following Friday ironically.

Tried on a whim to get tickets this morning and got two no problem. I'll be honest, I know a lot more of Glen Hansards stuff so must start binging on Pearl Jam and Eddie solo, I'm starting from scratch though.
