    In think the email address is stopbeingatightgit@aikenpromotions.ie

    No seriously we should be entitled to free tickets we have to put up with the GAA noise all year round, do you get in touch with the City Council or the County Council about this.

    I see 10,000 tickets have been cancelled for the uk shows after going up on resale sites. Great to see

    Not great for those people who go ahead and buy them from the touts despite warnings :)
    Hopefully it becomes more common place and cuts down on the level of touting

    I've a quick question. My little girl is 10 today and I was going to surprise her with tickets for herself,
    her sister 7 and my wife. But I don't want to go. can I buy tickets on my credit card and not go. If I buy the hardback tickets can my wife go without me. I see there still are standing tickets left for Cork

    Yep

    Q: What do I do if my parent buys me a ticket on their card and they do not wish to attend the show?
    A: Please purchase tickets in the cardholder’s name and on the day of the show please provide the attending party with the credit card, or a photocopy/photo of the card used at the time of booking. You will also need to bring along a valid ID to reflect family name.

    Wife will have to have a "valid ID" with the same surname.

    No mention of what a valid ID is. A newly married couple, even if she did take the husbands surname, might not have ID with it.

    I doubt there would be any trouble though, esp. if you had the actual CC and not just the photocopy.

    Seems touts called Murphy would have an easier time shifting them!

    Any idea when the tickets get posted out if you choose to get a normal ticket instead of a printed one?

    I got an email saying they'd be posted out in March 2018.

    I wonder how much they gain by selling so far in advance and with such restrictions on transferring tickets. People usually just go on about the amount they get in interest on the money, but that might not be the main financial benefit.

    It reminds me of airlines overbooking on purpose, and I guess they could well get cheaper insurance on it. Presuming X% of people will not turn up. I wonder if the same is done here, if you sold tickets 4 years in advance there obviously would be a higher % dropout than 4 weeks before -add on the restrictions on resale and that obviously increases dramatically too, I imagine loads of slane tickets went unused. So I wonder if they can get insurance people to factor this in, say 15% of tickets wold will be unused compared to 4% if sold weeks in advance. There could technically be room for these "hopeful no shows" too, if they do turn up there would be room for them, just bigger queues for the bars and toilet -so they do not have to turn anyone away like an airline might -they just get negative feedback which does not seem to faze the big promotors

    Hi I had a look at the seating map for the Galway concert. Can anyone tell me is the stage going to be on one of the side line terraces?? and if so is the lettered sections actually going to be in the main stand at Pearse Stadium. Thanks

    The same old Ticketmaster and promoter ploy ,pretend its sold out when its not.
    Sheeran has been constantly releasing extra tickets over the last few weeks for all his "Sold Out" UK gigs too .

    His whole tour was a very cynical ploy ,what with putting tickets on sale a year in advance ,pretending gigs had sold out so he could add more and the debacle of Ticketmasters website completely collapsing under the load of having all dates go on sale simultaneously.
    Ed doesnt care ,he has themoney in the bank till next May.

    Hi all I've got standing tickets for a few of us for the Friday night in Dublin and I'm looking for one more ticket for a family member. Is there any 'official' way to get a ticket for this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 801 ✭✭✭lucast2007us

    That is a standing ticket. GA2 is used just for admin purposes.

    I bought three tickets for Phoenix Park before he announced a third date in Cork. Anyone know how I can sell on the Dublin ones? (I know they’re making it awkward with credit cards, email confirmations, etc.)

    Would happily sell them if I knew how. Anyone know how to get around Ed’s rules about having to have the bookers present and show the credit card on entry and so on??

    No use for nieces/nephews or grandchildren without family name or potentially even children of unmarried parents who have only taken one parents name. Given how often tickets are given as a present it really is a bit ridiculous.

    Is anyone here interested or does anyone have suggestions on how to sell them?

    I got mine in post about 3 weeks ago (for Galway concert)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭clairek6


    Mine came yesterday was hoping they wouldn’t until nearer the time in case I misplace them!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Galwaygirl18


    Lads this is just an idea
    But some folks have extra tickets because they double bought so they wouldn’t get sold out.
    Some people are still looking for tickets. Assuming you plan to attend but just have too many tickets, why don’t people on here match up with one another and just walk into the concert together?
    Charge face value and everyone wins

    So you would have to actually attend with the purchaser for It to work.
    That being said if you’ll also be attending I’d take them off your hands

    Can anybody tell what Phoenix Park is like as a venue? I have tickets for my 11-year-old daughter and I.

    Hi, sorry for my very slow reply to your question.

    Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the concert at all in Galway.

    I'm unsure what the best approach is with these tickets.

    If there are other people who are in a similar position to myself, then I would greatly appreciate any help/advice you could give me please!

    Sheeran is allowing people to resell their tickets for his UK gigs at face value on Twickets.co.uk .

    However there is currently no mechanism for resale of his Irish concert tickets which is a bit of a disgrace considering the tickets went on general sale over 8 months ago and alot of peoples plans would have changed in the interim.

    Yes an absolute joke. I have three tickets for the Wednesday and can't go now due to family. Why is there no mechanism to allow to transfer?
    Not looking to make a profit just face value.

    Cork are available on Ticketmaster .

    I'd wager all my money that there wont be any of this ID nonsense implemented .
    Its simply not feasible on such a large scale .

    I understand where Sheeran is coming from with regard to touting but he has made a complete mess of it by not allowing people resell at face value .
    Ring up Ed's promoter and tell him you plan to resell the tickets ,they should cancel them then ,if he is true to his word.
