My big brother got to see him last night at the Madison Square Gardens with Paul Simon guesting, lucky sods.

Reckon I'll go to this missed the show in 2013

Saw him in the garden last month and seeing him there again in November. I'll be marching out to this. His band are absolutely phenomenal.

I don't know though if the 02 has time machine ports though you might have to park up at the park and ride area.

Sorry, misread your post I thought you were going to the missed 2013 show which is currently not possible as it was four years ago.

I had really wished and expected he would continue with another indoor gig, the O2 gig trumped his last couple of outdoor gigs here. Sitting in the middle of a cold pitch tends to ruin a gig for me. Any chance of this being pitch standing?

Id say there will , At least the Aviva is a better venue then Croke Park. Seen him in 2013 and loved it so delighted he is back (fingers crossed for some decent weather like we had for Robbie Williams this year).

Any news on ticket prices ???

Wonder will it sell better than Phil Collins ?

Prices will be EUR70.45 / EUR101 / EUR131 plus usual ticket charges - don't know locations yet for those prices

Jayus but the Aviva is compact enough and veiws are good from a lot of areas. might go for the /E70.45/E101 tickets, payed E97.50 for a premium level ticket for ACDC in 2015

tippbiffo · 03-10-2017 05:58PM

Will this sell out? I'm over at the ireland match in Cardiff when the tickets go on saleðŸ˜

Highly unlikely it will sell out quickly and they will always release good seats closer to the date anyway .

where did you see this? I see nothing elsewhere

PTH2009 · 04-10-2017 12:37PM

There taking there time announcing the prices anyway

Going for the cheapest seated ticket (which will pot luck on sale date)

The gold circle standing for phil collins were not that much more than the regular standing. I was surprised they did not sell out first. Not that they were cheap, but in other gigs you see a much larger % price difference.

emc2 · 04-10-2017 03:01PM

Anyone know the details for the presale on this?

fmul9798 · 04-10-2017 03:10PM

So, looks like the pitch will be standing.

Anyone any idea how to get presale? I'm a forum member on the official site and nothing there, plus the US ones are usually based on AMEX card use for pre-sale.

Presale lists on ticketmaster as being from 9am tomorrow. If someone somehow has access and isn't using theirs, I would be extremely grateful.

PTH2009 · 04-10-2017 05:08PM

Any mention of prices ??

These are the prices quoted in a full page ad for the gig published in the Evening Herald earlier this week, still no info on ticketmaster on prices or what the presale at 9am is all about!!

Actually just saw in Wednesday's Herald that the EUR131 tickets have now become EUR136 - who knows they might make the EUR140 by Monday

fmul9798 · 05-10-2017 10:00AM

No info about pre-sale anywhere, though apparently on sale since 9am today.
Pricing was in the Times today, same as already posted, plus of course the usual ticketmaster tax of 6 euro whatever...

Another plea for pre-sale info or unused code from anyone!

Shedite27 · 05-10-2017 11:17AM

Prices on ticketmaster....
Seats €70-€140
No price for standing yet, I'm guessing €90

rubadub · 05-10-2017 11:34AM

136 would be €142.85 if they use the max fee of 6.85, sometimes it is 6.10 or so

PTH2009 · 05-10-2017 12:42PM

Sum price

Prob try for the cheap ones

kg703 · 05-10-2017 02:07PM

Hi all,

Trying to get pre sale tickets but want standing - but no standing is even available??? Anyone else having this problem??

fmul9798 · 05-10-2017 02:20PM

I think most here don't even know how to get the pre-sale!

rubadub · 05-10-2017 06:42PM

Seems there is no standing.

I don't think any pitch ticket prices were shown before, it would not surprise me if they were more expensive than the highest listed so far.

As I said in another thread I suspect it could be a sneaky ploy to hold back prices to get friends to agree to go with each other, and then be more unwilling to pull out for fear of looking "scabby". It was absolutely no shock to see the report that the prices advertised earlier in the week were lower than what they turned out to be.

There is no obvious "gold circle" there, so expect seatwave to be raking it in.
