    Rarely would I be happy to fork out ridiculous amounts of money for gig tickets but I'm getting tickets to this if I possibly can. Suppose I better start exercising my F5 finger!

    Says on his website that the tour will reach it's conclusion in 2021. That's a 3 year tour :eek:

    Got three tickets in Block C for 190 each.

    Had another browser open and was offered two at the back of Row J and they were 160 each.

    Such a pricey gig.

    Yikes, €190 each! Still holding since 9am here, "Hold tight. Tickets are about to become available" I think they might be lying to me.

    Yep loads. Just not in threads where people are paying 190 quid a ticket.

    I suppose people who go see Elton John don't see a whole lot of gigs so don't care about contributing to inflated gig prices.

    I go to many many gigs a month and I can afford to go to this thankfully. Never seen him before and bringing the folks as its his last tour.

    So a blanket assumption that people who go are somewhat clueless and don't see a whole lot of gigs is nonsense.

    Saw him last time he was here. He puts on a good show. Enjoy.

    Nobody is making you pay any money to do anything. You are not helping anybody by moaning about gigs you are not even going to.
    Also I got to loads of gigs, so your assumption is really silly.
    It must be hard to be so negative on ever thread I see you in.

    Got 4 in Block P €96 each.

    3Arean is a good venue, even if your tickets are in the upper seated area. So don't worry

    Get your facts right at least. He starts with Funeral For A Friend leaving in to Love Lies Bleeding.

    They will. Saw him in the Marquee last year and he was great. Should be even better in a venue like 3 arena.

    Thats like saying people who take Ryanair flights don't take a lot of flights so don't mind contributing to inflated sandwich prices. Nonsense.

    I have a presale code but it is not giving me the option to buy tickets. It keeps telling me that tickets go on general sale on Friday. What am I doing wrong or are the pre sale all gone?
