Surprised there's no thread on this!

Playing "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours"

Who's going?

scruff monkey · 24-10-2018 12:49pm

Got two standing in presale this morning, also splurged yesterday on the double vinyl.

purple hands · 24-10-2018 12:58pm

Do you have to buy one of the fancy re-issues of the album to access the presale?

scruff monkey · 24-10-2018 1:01pm

No, you just had to sign up yesterday to get the code.

Ticket sale for the unwashed is Friday.

I couldn't get any in the pre-sale, I didn't even get as far as selecting a ticket, I tried on the phone and a browser.
I'll just have to take my chances in the general sale Friday

Yellowledbetter · 24-10-2018 1:47pm

After seeing them do The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go tours it would be rude not to go to this. Might venture over the UK for one of those gigs either

I still can't believe they skipped us on the Everything Must Go tour!

laros · 24-10-2018 4:59pm

Picked up 2 standing in the presale around 3pm

Signed up yesterday got no code, they did send me an email to complete purchase of album though

laros · 24-10-2018 5:47pm

The mail with the code and link was in my spam folder in Gmail.... Have a look there

The "Before We Went Mainstream" Tours 1 and 2;)

That would've been amazing.

When did they do the Holy Bible tour? I thought I'd seen them every time they play in Dublin.

MisterAnarchy · 25-10-2018 4:25pm

If they play all of This is My Truth Tell Me Yours ,13 songs ,that only leaves room for about 7 other songs as the Manics rarely play over 90 minutes.
Great band live but criminally short gigs .

I was at their singles show in London. 38 songs!
They needed an interval

Same here. They play here every tour and then when they do one of my favourite albums they don't play here!

Missed the pre-sale, here's hoping I can snare a couple in the morning. Not my favourite Manics album but some brilliant tunes on it. The organ on Ready For Drowning is amazing, I could listen to that all day. If You Tolerate This... gives me goosebumps every single time. You Stole The Sun...I just never got that one at all even though lots of people love it. Definitely a divisive album but you could say that about most of them probably.

laros · 25-10-2018 5:57pm

The year they first toured the album... They played the point with Super Furry Animals supporting.... It was the first gig I bought my son to... He was 7 year's old..... 20 years ago....ðŸ˜႒

How much are tickets?

Ideally seated as I’m gettin too old for standing lark.

Big Manics fan back in the day. Saw them copious times. Witness, Slane and I think I saw in a smaller venue as well just can’t think where. Probably The Point.

Agree. Very strange alright. Saw the Holy Bible in the Olympia last time and it was an amazing gig. Looking forward to this one.

Middle of December 2014 in the Olympia.

Tchaikovsky · 26-10-2018 9:21am

Holy Bible gig was brilliant - never thought I'd hear Of Walking Abortion live!
This gig should be a lot mellower. Maybe they should skip SYMM

Peter File · 26-10-2018 9:34am

We were only able to get upper circle for this.

Weepsie · 26-10-2018 9:44am

I had 2 circle tickets and I cancelled. curses

Tchaikovsky · 26-10-2018 10:00am

Circle is the best area for the Olympia to be fair.

thegreengoblin · 26-10-2018 10:14am

Got my two standing after a slight panic when I was asked to submit a new credit card despite being logged in. Sold out now I'm guessing?

26-10-2018 11:09am

Ticketmaster did this with the HB gig too. Released standing tickets the night before the gig.

I got a ticket for Manchester instead because it was just so much easier.

Morpork · 26-10-2018 11:12am

Got my tickets in the on the pre-sale in the circle. Going with the missus. We've been together 10 years and this will be our first concert together. Can't wait!

LithiumKid1976 · 26-10-2018 11:42am

Got two standing as well, but it looks like its sold out now...
havent seen them since a trip to tipp many moons ago...

murphyebass · 26-10-2018 12:34pm

Wtf Sold our already. I didn’t think they were that popular!

You didn't think they could sell 1500 tickets ?
Thats a club gig by their standards.

Tchaikovsky · 26-10-2018 12:55pm

Strange thing is that the Holy Bible gig didn't sell out quickly (if I remember correctly), but maybe it's because this album is more well-known.

I could have sworn the opposite, that it sold out fairly quick. We're so lucky they're doing shows in venues like the Olympia. Can't wait for it.

purple hands · 26-10-2018 2:02pm

Just nabbed a couple of tickets in upper circle through the app

Holy Bible concert sold out in less than 10 mins. It was infuriating trying to get tickets that morning.

They have comfortably filled the Olympia every time they've played it and the Ambassador (2007 I think). Standing tickets always get snapped as they have a pretty loyal fanbase.

They’re an old 90’s band ffs who’ve done sweet **** all for years.

I’m not surprised it sold out but I’m surprised it sold out so quickly at a high ticket price.

Sounds like it should have been a bigger venue.

Might go see Cast in November now instead. Half the price, decent band. No Manics but should be good all the same.

:rolleyes:

Have you listened to any of their albums since the 90's ?
They are one of the best bands in the music industry ,constantly producing good material.
Phenomenal band live .

Yes I have. No need to throw the eyes to heaven. You’re not the only one that’s listened to more than the hits. Ugh.

I agree they’re a good band but they aren’t the most popular band on the planet which is why I assumed I’d pick up a ticket this morning without an issue.

I still think €50 is a bit much but I was willing to pay it as I haven’t seen them in years.

Maybe they’ll add another date. We’ll see.

Ps I know they’re a good band live having already printed out I’ve seen them on a few occasions.

Yellowledbetter · 26-10-2018 7:43pm

Missed out on tickets this morning, will just have wait until they announce the “special once off gig” in Wales. Swansea was great craic for the EMG tour a few years back

lukin · 26-10-2018 9:31pm

Got a standing ticket but "You won't receive paper tickets for this event."?
That's very unusual for a small venue like the Olympia.

weemcd · 28-10-2018 8:31pm

Great band, not their most avid listener but I went to see them in the Ambassador years ago and it is one of the gigs I have fondest menories off.

28-10-2018 11:54pm

Never got my Dublin tickets in the end and won't be holding out to get any the night before the gig, cause I do have my ticket to one of the Manchester gigs, and how many times would you really wanna stand through TMIT live?

Think the only tour I missed them on since EMG was TMIT 20 years ago.

keeponrockin · 29-10-2018 10:02am

Manics supporting Bon Jovi on all their UK stadium dates next summer so a possibility of Croke Park too..Def Leppard supporting in Germany.

I felt a bit of vomit coming up when I read that.
