    Imagine this will sell poorly and prob be priced €100+ ??

    Even though I wasant around when these lads had there hay day i quite like some of there songs and I might try and go to this but if it's too pricey I might think twice about it. Would a smaller venue like the Bord Gais or Olympia be more suited ??

    **** didn't knw half of Yazoo are supporting

    Is standing sold out for this? Not showing on Ticketmaster at the moment.

    No way to tell really, if you look back in previous threads on 3arena gigs you will see standing tickets were held back, preusmably scaring fans into buying crap seats which might not otherwise sell. With some gigs it might take a few days before standing are sold again.

    I wonder how this is selling ???

    could be only a few hundred at it

    I remember I was at a Nickelback show in the 3arena in 2016 and both the higher tier seating and the back of the standing area was curtained off. Could be the same for this

    I think it's safe to say they'll be more that a 'few hundred' at it...
    Judging by availability on TM, standing and lower tiers are sold out with only upper tiers still on sale.

    not expecting that, didnt think they were that popular

    I was born in 1989 so would not of been around for there hayday but there songs are timeless and it will be a decent show. Alison Moyett from Yazoo will be good too (i imagine she will sing Women in Chains with TFF ??)

    only started listening seriously to tff a few years ago there music is so catchy and it will be a decent gig. The support act was the singer of Yazoo so more golden 80s stuff before hand. I was only born in 1989 so I'll prob be one of the young folk there

    Tears for Fears have been forced to postpone their forthcoming sold out UK & Ireland arena tour due to unforeseen health concerns and doctor’s orders.
    RESCHEDULED DATE, @3arenadublin, 31 JANUARY 2019. Tickets for 2018 remain valid for that city’s rescheduled 2019 show. https://t.co/QwaqGKfT4h

    It's been rescheduled so you'll probably need to request a refund if the new date doesn't suit.

    If it was with Bus Eirean, then they will refund, but they'll charge €5 for processing. I had to do this when Erasure postponed their show in January and I eventually got the refund after about 6 weeks!!
