I'm not going to go thanks, seen him 5 times already. Would like to have gone to this but not at these prices, it's no wonder they weren't too forthcoming with them.

These prices are ridiculous. Problem is though that people are buying them.

They are ridiculous money allright ,similar to Phil Collins prices.
I only paid it because I got great seats but 141 euro for seats at the far end of the ground is ludicrous,absolute greed.

FF - at a cost of €215 to sit at the back. Ridiculous prices. Donedeal it is so

Yes, but if people just buy them anyway then why wouldn't they charge these prices?

Bought 2 tickets. Anyone else having trouble printing out their tickets. Letting me print the receipt but not the tickets. Why ?

Tickets are normally issued later at a date closer to the gig.

Wish you didn't have to print them anyway and just be able to use your phone like airlines.

Thanks.

Its Corporate level.
Would it kill Ticketmaster to actually display a correct seating map that shows this level ?

Aviva not Croker

How come the app doesn't let you choose price and location and search both together?
It's taking the piss when you choose location and the price resets to any price, meaning the most expensive tickets only are offered.

Jaysus, I remember when I saw him in the RDS in 1990 and the whole weekend cost less then 1 ticket for now.

Not going to buy a ticket when I've no clue where I'm going to end up but BLK looks like, to me, that its on the pitch in the second block of seats.

BLK is for block. The pitch seats are in rows A-Z, then behind Z is AA, then BB etc, after ZZ is AAA, BBB etc. Then after ZZZ is 4A.

Some poster got 4C which is unfortunately way back. I think it would have been clearer if it was CCCC.

The map is very hard to make out, very blurry, but sure bless, what can you expect from a small startup company with so little money & experience behind them, who are barely making ends meet.

Thanks for explaining that & judging by the seat quoted to me, is way further back, i assume?

the usual scam they use is if you select pitch (or whatever your preferred area is) and if none are available they offer you others, but the notice/warning shown that they are NOT pitch is usually quite subtle, so many see the counter going down and are all flustered and buy them thinking it is the one they listed -as I am pretty sure in the past if you selected ones and none were available it just rejected your search. I have seen many on threads here inadvertently buying the wrong ones.

No doubt this billion dollar company has had hundreds of thousand of complaints about this, and point blank refuse to make it any clearer, scum that they are. Same with people inadvertently buying insurance or other unwanted stuff. They are conmen pure and simple, they appear on the most hated companies lists.

Patty O Furniture wrote: »

It depends, there are 3 "types" I am aware of. The ticketmaster kiosk in stephens green (and maybe elsewhere) may charge nothing if you pay cash or debit card. Then I think the soundcellar in dublin charge a fixed fee, which is very reasonable and usually less than other agents. Then the other agents like Londis shops etc seem to charge roughly half the price of online. Online charge 12.5% up to a max of 6.85euro. I think the likes of Londis outlets charge up to 3.30 and 6.25% if under that.

I think in the kiosks you might get a better chance of selecting seats. In soundcellar I think the tickets are already printed out and preselected, so you might get to sift through what they have left. In the other outlets like a Londis shop they might be able to select but I would not bank on it. Some are young lads in the shop, total newbies to the whole thing, the shop may be busy and they might not have a clue. I expect some of these outlets have people clued in. If you phone ticketmaster you should be able to select, but then you will pay full whack.

In other gigs which sell out fast you will hear of "on the ball" workers in the shops asking people in the queue in advance what they want, and buying up (or setting aside) loads of tickets the moment they go on sale. You also hear horror stories of massive queues and only the first few people getting any (while in other shops loads got sorted)

rubadub

Suprised to hear ads on the radio for the gig this morning.

This media crowd even said it was sold out in seconds!

The legendary Billy Joel returns to Ireland in June 2018 and tickets for the Dublin gig sold out on Ticketmaster seconds after going on sale.

However, almost immediately after the tickets sold out on Ticketmaster, hundreds of tickets went up on its sister site Seatwave for double, or even triple the price.

https://extra.ie/entertainment/entertainment-news/seconds-after-billy-joels-dublin-gig-sold-out-tickets-went-on-sale-for-twice-the-price

Yesterday and today there are no pitch tickets for sale, not even if you select the hugely expensive platinum option.

My guess is they are holding plenty of them back to get rid of the stand ones first. They can always use this "production tickets" excuse.

rubadub

Just testing there, and sure enough you can get platinum pitch tickets now (none on the normal prices). Can get 4, could not get a single or pair the other day.

What's the highest row anyone got in non-platinum. Wonder if Platinum goes back 4 or 14 rows

I got row F just after nine the day they went on sale. More towards the side than the centre though.
They were selling platinum seats in row F too.

Zardoz

I had a look just now to see how this is selling and they have released some extra tickets in Block 504.
141 euro for seats in Row T of Block 504. Insanity.
Theres no chance of this selling out ,not at those eye gouging prices.

rubadub

These are "best seats" available right now, just for reference. I have been monitoring several gigs just to see what trickery they are up to.

Probably get a ticket in the upper stands.Then again its a lottery with ticketmaster.I payed 140 odd for mine premium level wanted pitch seats but got them instead due to the virtue of ticketmaster.Good job i'm a big fan otherwise i wouldn't of paid that.

Pitch seating advisable?
