    Hi Guys
    Know this is a desparate search but does anyone have two tickets .?Absolutely gutted and sickened not to be seeing themGUTTED!

    Was thinking the same thing. We might be ok closer to the date TM might release a sneaky few.

    Does Donald do any of his solo material in the SD shows does anyone know?

    It's obviously not up yet. They don't always have their finger on the pulse. It'll probably be up tomorrow. No panic.

    Are you able to share your presale code? I'm not a 3mobile user but really would like to get one standing ticket for this second Dublin concert...can you help?  Bren

    thanks I got it. Does your Ticketmaster account need to be linked to your 3 account in some way? No issue if it does, but didn't want to start a new TM account if not required. I have the link to use on the 3 site but my TM account is a different number.

    So TB doing Robert Plant and Steely Dan tickets both at 9a.m. Friday.

    Lovely way to crash the site and leave more fans disappointed.

    Nah they'll be ok. Its only 11,000 tickets. 9000 ish for Steely Dan and 2000 for Plant. Not including the presale/corporate freebie etc tickets.

    He's touring now with his own band (The Nightflyers) -USA and Japan appear to be the only dates so far but I imagine there's a good chance he'll be in Europe in 2018 considering the demand for Steely Dan

    RIP.

    That's crazy news. I wonder where that leaves the Steely Dan gig. I believe he wasn't appearing on stage in recent months so likely this gig will still go ahead, albeit it will be a sad gig without him

    Just seen this news. I'm gutted. Always a dream to see him live, and I was this close. RIP Walter, you will be missed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Mrs Shuttleworth


    Terrible news. What a legend and a legacy he leaves.

    RIP Walter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭DrWu


    SO sad to hear this. I was 12 when I rooted out my older brother's double album "Reeling in the Years" (a best of Steely Dan). I'll genuinely never forget it, the beautifully crafted songs, the stories they told, the sunshine pouring out of the record player. Everything about them. It's why I picked up a guitar two years later, and why I play in bands today. Thanks Walter. Bye dude...

    Will still go ahead yeah. Seems like he was never making the gig anyway.

    I found radio advertising an xtra gig the day news broke of Walter Beckers death to be really upsetting and offensive. I meam come on RTE[?] the guy who is half of the Dan died and you couldnt pull an ad for a day? Anyone confirm to me that it was RTE ad--I still cannot believe it happened

    They have those ads scheduled weeks in advance. Expecting RTE to react live to something like that is naive.

    Don't be so easily offended snowflakes. Its only a short ad on a sh1tty radio station that you probably shouldn't be listening to anyway.

    Snowflakes? This a new term for something? I know what they physically are.

    Whilst that is technically true, you can book (air) or pull a radio ad at incredibly short notice, and I mean less than an hour - I have done this in the past. The recorded ads are (in most cases) sent to the radio stations digitally. Scheduling and booking can be done almost at will thereafter.
