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.

As long as the company is making money, the shareholders won't care how the company is viewed. The gig will sell out. It'd be different if they were having problems shifting tickets.

Of course. As I suggested, very naive on my part.

I'm at the point now where I avoid them as much as possible. If a ticket is available directly from the club, theatre, venue, etc. then that's the route I take. I'm only one person but they've practically lost me at this stage. Surely I'm not alone.

I'd go to a gig at least once a week. I find them great as I have all my tickets in one place in the app. Easy to keep track. Haven't experienced all this hassle, probably the type of gigs I go to. I love Eddie Vedder but I'd tend to stay away from these kind of shows.

I think the main issue is with these big shows. And people will always be disappointed not getting a ticket, one way or another.

Actually shocked with the demand for Eddie.
It seems these days that any large gig is a sell out with loads of disappointed folk. Dublin is such a great city for gigs, loads more options!

I just put two standing tickets in my basket for the Marquee through the tickermaster app.

There are two links for the Marquee gig on the app, the top one says no tickets available but the bottom one shows tickets available and can put them in my basket.

The first link seems to be the presale one .
Only Standing available for selection now.
I wonder will they add a second Dublin gig when the Cork gig sells out ?

The Marquee is so handy for people in the South .

Ah, I see. There's not much difference between going to Dublin or Cork for me as I'm in Clare. Only real reason we went with Cork is that we figured accommodation would be much cheaper.

I'd love to know what the actual supply and demand is. Clearly there's demand as you can't just freely go onto the website and buy a ticket. So ostensibly it's sold out, but how many tickets have actually been sold, as opposed to being drip released back onto the site as is currently happening, or tied up in third-party providers? It's hard to know.

Someone disagreed with me earlier when I said that the whole process is shrouded in secrecy. Well it clearly is! With Radiohead there was some suggestion that a certain amount of tickets were cordoned off for purchase through the Ticketmaster app, or that standing tickets weren't available via the main website, or that additional tickets were released back onto the app before the site, yada, yada, yada. We can't blame TM for the various theories about how the tickets are handled but we can blame them for creating the conditions in which those theories arise.

Just imagine you're waiting on your laptop at 9am, credit card in hand waiting to spend money, when unbekownst to you the very category of ticket you're after isn't available via the website, or that it's only available when some other factor is met elsewhere, or that they'll only be released later in the day after the mainstream media have declared the gig as being sold out.

TM are clearly making money but they have a shocking reputation at this stage. I know it's all about the bottom line but is there no marketing executive somewhere, or a company director or board of shareholders that would like to have the company viewed in a better light? I guess I'm being terribly naive. I'm at the point now where I avoid them as much as possible. If a ticket is available directly from the club, theatre, venue, etc. then that's the route I take. I'm only one person but they've practically lost me at this stage. Surely I'm not alone.

I think touting is a pretty scummy thing to do, especially when it's conducted with such deliberateness and expediency, but that's the OP's business and I don't wish him any ill will.

What I don't like is how he seemed to be expressing mock outrage at what was going on, while all along he was trying to make a quick buck from guys like myself, who were desperately trying to buy tickets for friends and family, i.e. the actual fans.

It's quite disgraceful behaviour when you think about it.

So you are outraged at my outrage?

They can also go up, supply and demand.

Absolutely. There's no guarantees. But with two gigs at different ends of the country I can't see the current prices being maintained. But that's just my gut feeling.

Keep trying everyone. A guy on here picked up two Radiohead tickets two weeks ago and they've been sold out for months! The touts prices will go down, not up, so if that's your only option then leave it as late as possible. Don't let the scum have it all their own way.

Touts out!

Pickpocket

Okay, I'm really labouring the issue here but just to clarify in case anyone made the same mistake that I did (I doubt it! :P)

When I searched for 'best available' the Price & Section options highlighted were "€91.50, Flat Seatin...". So I thought the only search parameters were for flat seating. But of course the option for tiered seating was also ticked but it wasn't visible. So I thought I purchased two flat seats in Block G.

And just to clarify, there is no standing at the gig. That should make all you auld bastards feel glad that you're not missing out on the mosh pit.

Anyway, time to wake up and get on with the rest of the day.

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.

Cheers, I'm not sure where I pulled that out of.

No bother.
The flat seating area is quite small .
I was sitting there for Rod Stewart in November ,in row H ,there were only 10 rows of flat seating that night .
Its kind of odd in that the people there were allowed stand ,whilst the people in the tiered seating were told to sit down .

It was a bit annoying as some selfish people kept on jumping up and blocking peoples views .
I dont think this will be an issue at Vedders show.

Ah, that makes sense. I'm pretty sure it said 'flat' somewhere.

So, Block G and flat seating. Clearly not the best but still lucky to get them. Anyway, I'm trying to visualise the layout. I've never seen flat seating in there before. It is a standing area, then surrounded by section of flat seating? How would that work? I appreciate they're not great seats but surely you don't have to stand up in your seat to look over the crowd.

Dispatches went undercover to investigate viagogo in the U.K. The practice is the same here with seatwave.
This is actually appalling

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?

Noel Rock has been vocal about Seatwave of late, he previously claimed he'd have it shut by next week.

Might be worth dropping him a quick message with more ammo.
