    FYI anyone interested in Keith Urban tickets; they're currently giving them for free via 3app. This sundays gig.
    In fairness not bad for free!
    Country music not my thing at all.

    I did go to free counting crows one...it was brutal...Alison Krauss was good though.

    I'm looking forward to bluesfest again this year and the possibility of a freebie.

    Saw Robert Plant and Van for free. Was an excellent night.

    Didn't think Counting Crows were great either. Concert was only ok. If I had paid for the tickets (which I nearly did a few months beforehand) I would have been more annoyed about it.

    The songs were "ok"....the pretentious rambles before every bloody song were horrendous.

    Is he still at that ?? :(

    I saw them in the Point a few years ago, and it was a good gig, but he did go on about ex loves/life/sadness before the songs were played !! :rolleyes:

    How hard do you think its going to be to get a ticket to this .I think he could definitely do well at the 3arena but this gig will be class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭Duffy98


    Lads on the smashing pumpkins website theres a link to presale access so we need to find out how that works. If anyone has any idea how the pre-sale access works for them please let myself or any of us know cause im sure a lot of us here would like to go and will be up against the touts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 295 ✭✭mrk75


    Not sure he's as big a draw as he might have been previously. Not even sure the Pumpkins would sell out the 3arena never mind Billy solo. Their recent "comeback" tour in the States wasn't the massive success they anticipated crowd-wise.

    I'll hopefully be there anyway - certainly for the SP material.

    If you go on their website you can sign up to their mailing list and i think that grants you access to presale tickets. I think they would sell well here depending on ticket prices obviously ill hopefully be there anyway wont be hopeful though after Alice in Chains


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 295 ✭✭mrk75


    Nice one. Yeah, I actually signed up a couple of weeks ago so hopefully they'll be in touch with a code.

    I was at the Smashing Pumkins show at Wembley arena back in October. A few blocks of empty seats around the arena. Standing was packed though.

    Anyone have a link to that mailing list sign-up page? I can't find it clicking around the website.

    The ticket prices were too high for the US tour .

    The tickets for the Olympia start at 69.95 plus handling fee of 5.95 ,its all seated ,they could well go up to over 100 euro .
    A bit steep.

    Oh lordie, can they not combine Jenny Greene and Nathan Carter into this too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭Duffy98


    If anyone gets a link to pre-sale for Billy Corgan could they please post it in here it would be greatly appreciated. I wondering would they play electric picnic think they would be a great act


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,019 ✭✭✭who_ru


    Suppose it would be too much expecting Kevin Morby to come to these shores any time soon. He’s playing a few European gigs this year but none here.

    Was there too, good number of seats unsold, standing fairly healthy alright but don't think sold out. Employing a gold circle in an arena didn't sit right with me quite frankly disgusting and general ad wasn't exactly cheap. No doubt show is all seated here so he can charge the privelege for the front rows.

    Had a feeling at the gig if they couldn't sell out that one sole London show in a 12k venue they wouldn't get the business here that Billy desired, SP on the road and rocks up here on his own with tickets starting at nearly €70 could be a good gig but absolutely no thanks.

    Absolutely no chance EP want to offer a fine spread of acts while they turn a profit, booking SP would minimise both and have minimal effect audience wise you'd imagine.

    Agreed, if they can't sell out one night in London (one of only 2 European venues on that tour) after years away they'd hardly sell out here in a venue like the 3 Arena. Billy playing on a Sunday night in Dublin. I'm probably out for that one. Don't live in Dublin so would need time off work, hotel for the night etc.. Don't think I can justify it after heading over to London last October.
