    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

    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 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?

    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.
