That carry on should be banned. Peter Kay is notorious for this. I know someone who bought tickets for a Peter Kay show in the UK thinking it was 9 months away. Went and booked flights and accommodation and discovered it was actually 21 months away.

I think it’s a poor reflection on the artist.

Its hard enough to plan for gigs during the summer next year never mind 2020!!!

It does seem a bit daft but out of curiosity why is it poor reflection on artist?

I can only assume it’s a pure money grab. Get money into an account. You can slap that into a deposit for 12 months and make money for nothing. Even at low interest rates it’d be a sizeavle amount of cash. When tickets for Peter Kay’s 2018/2019 tour went on sale in Jul/Aug17, there was earnings of £60m - all paid up front. That’s earn you a nice amount of interest on 12month fixed term deposit.

I’m sure the promoters get their cut but I place the responsibility of this with the artist.

I completely disagree with this. It's not a poor reflection on the artist at all.

His tour starts in May 2019 and runs the way through to the Dublin gig in 2020 which is strangely two months after the previous gig on that tour but is the final date.

If you're a big Jimmy Carr fan in Ireland, you'll want to go to his tour and if he doesn't announce that he will get Dublin eventually, a fan would probably travel to see them abroad. If they then see an Irish date announced a few months or a year later for that tour, they'd probably be pretty annoyed that they didn't know he'd actually eventually get around to Dublin.

Agreed that announcing for two years away is mad but there is sound logic to it if the tour does start soon, which it does.

Peter Kay did the same. Irish date announced for 16/17 months away but the tour actually started 4/5 months later. Irrespective of cancellation, if I travelled to see Peter Kay and found he announced a gig for Dublin in the interim, I'd be fuming.

No Cork Marquee or 3 Arena for him, is he going back to his "Irish Country roots"

He's done shows around Ireland either lately or soon, road testing material and then once it's honed and then announce the entire tour so people have a chance to decide if they want to go to a local show or travel ,ya it's a nice little earner to have ticket sales sitting in the bank but generally the artist is paid a holding fee by the promoter and paid in full in the weeks leading up to the gig so essentially the promoter if it sells out sits on the cash not the artist

Tico Torres mentioned European tour dates for bon Jovi in June/July recently

An "insider" said it was Croke Park.
The three dates for CP being Westlife x 2 and Bon Jovi x 1.

Personally I would prefer the RDS, and to me the capacity would make more sense but sure who knows....

Westlife added ten extra dates there this morning including one more in Belfast but no sign of a Croke Park second date yet which is unusual given they've announced all the other added dates.

Maybe they only have one night there...

EDIT: And its been announced.

Sabre0001 · 25-10-2018 09:36AM

Comedy gigs seem to be getting crazier and crazier with advance notice. Had a temporary blip there and forgot that 2020 is two years away. Now that is mad - pay a significant chunk of change up front and then hope that you can keep a specific day two years away free. There's being organised and then there's that!

Exclamation Marc · 25-10-2018 09:46AM

And night two in Croke Park announced for Westlife on July 6!

They aren't.

There are still a couple of hundred tickets on ticketmaster for the Friday night gig. The majority are single seats though.

The demand for them doesn’t seem to be as high as other concerts.

Much bigger stadium,

sold more than t.swift has

If demand is huge then they would have sold out by now.

Usually when they are said that tickets are sold out you can’t buy any and maybe closer to the time they realease some more. This time however I can go online and buy for either night.

I think TM has changed something there
I was looking at tickets for Snow Patrol in Belfast and I could buy 1 or 3 seats but not 2.
It was giving me that option rather than in previous years where it was "sold out"

lizzylad84 · 25-10-2018 03:18PM

I've also experienced this with tm. I couldn't get 2 but would buy three. Makes zero sense... but then again it's TM

It doesn't want to leave a single seat ,hence if there are three tickets together you can only buy 1 or 3.
