    Whats the story with buying tickets for this if my name is on the tickets but I'm not attending? Bought 2 tickets for my girlfriend and her sister for the Davin stand. Will they be able to attend even if my name is on the tickets or will it be similar to Ed Sheeran?

    They don't seem to have any rule along those lines for this show. It's fair game. Anyone can go with your tickets.

    Popped on and got two for a girl in work. Surprised by how easy it was, thought they would be a lot harder to get.

    Yes, I found it easy as well. €244 for 3 of the cheapest tickets, feel like crying to be honest but my daughters will be delighted!

    you do have to tick a warning saying you accept you're up high and it is not suitable for people with vertigo.

    I got tickets in Row W in the Davin and didn't have to tick anything (mind you I may have ticked anything at the time I was in such a panic to get the tickets!)

    Standing pitch tickets at the very back too. Thats a new one (for me anyhow). €144 for pitch seated. Just over €300 for two including booking. Now that is a joke! Wouldn't bother with the Davin, might as well be outside.

    Standing is at the very back in front of Davin. Bit pointless to buy standing if you're going to be that far away from the stage.

    Wouldn't necessarily agree with this, for U2 a few years ago I was in the very back row, you do still get the atmosphere and you have the big screens! the wife was quite high up with the girls for one direction and they had a great time. €81 each the Davin tickets cost me and that was the very limit for me, not a chance was I going to pay over €100 per ticket.

    The snake pit package is 644, I've no idea what extra you get.

    The snake pit is 144 itself.

    Apologies my mistake.

    Had a look and they are indeed €144. All well gone now, probably on reselling sites.

    Was offered seating in the stands for €144 instead.

    Not that I'm buying just think the prices are crazy.

    She’s having a laugh with those ticket prices. The worst part of it is that most of her fans are young kids so it’s the parents having to shell out so the kids won’t be disappointed on Christmas morning. Taylor knows this and is exploiting it, because of course being one of the biggest selling artists ever she isn’t rich enough already. Distustingly cynical.

    She doesn't set the ticket price, she just sets her fee. MCD, Croke Park and other promoters set the price. So if we're gonna call someone disgustingly cynical, at least aim it at the right people...MCD.

    She could take a smaller cut. Her prices are the same everywhere

    Well technically they are 144 euro on their own but Ticketmater said on Wednesday that they could only be bought with a VIP pack.
    Perhaps they are selling them on their own but knowing Ticketmaster they probably only released a handful.

    Her wholesome image is quickly being eroded away .

    They'll probably be released closer to the time when the VIP packages don't sell.

    I promised my daughter Id take her the next time Taylor Swift played Dublin.
    I didnt think Id have to remortgage the house.
    Anyway as my daughter is quite young (7), I decided Row A of the Upper tier on the Cusack Stand would give her a prime view of the overall event.
    I opted for e-tickets in the pre-sale. I was advised earlier by ticketmaster that they should be printable this evening or tomorrow. I know other people here had the same issue.
