There are standing tickets available for this gig, according to the website, but if I try to select 3 tickets and proceed to "checkout", a message displays stating "We couldn't find you a ticket". I assume if the standing tickets were sold-out, that option would not be available to choose from? Thanks in-advance!

Besides, those who work regular Monday to Friday hours don't make up the whole working population. A midweek gig to those in shift work, etc, is the same as a weekend gig for a regular Monday to Friday worker.
johnnyskeleton wrote: » Its not a conspiracy at all. In fact, your second paragraph is exactly the point. As a smaller market we have to pay a little bit more and live with getting the less desireable nights for a gig. We pay more and accept mid week gigs over weekends. Thats the price we pay for being an island off the west coast of Europe. The alternative is we dont get these gigs. But that doesnt disprove the argument that Dublin will not be the number one location for bands

And maybe ticket prices are expensive here, but people seem to consistently conveniently foget that we're an island that takes a bit of extra money, effort and time to get in and get out of compared to mainland Europe. The UK is an island too, but people, usually play a few gigs there to make it a bit more lucrative than here.

Zardoz wrote: » Anne Marie is playing a Saturday night because the 3Arena is by far the biggest venue on her tour so it needs a weekend date. Likewise Sigrid and David Blaine. Bubles gigs in the 3Arena are the most expensive on his UK and Ireland tour so again from a promoters point of view higher risk so need a better date . Chers tickets are astronomical money so again higher risk . If an event is viewed to be a higher risk it will get a better day of the week ,if its a hot ticket it will be a midweek gig .

They'll play in Belguim/Netherlands/France midweek then as that's the easiest route for trucks/shortest travel time. although your assertion is completely at odds with Zardoz's that they play in London midweek... there's a 5/7 chance they'll play on a "weeknight" here. or anywhere. Anne-Marie is here on Saturday 1st June. Michael Buble is here on Friday 7th June. David Blaine on a Saturday 8th June. there's nothing booked for the whole midweek 2nd-5th. there's nothing booked on Sunday 9th/Monday 10th. why put those gigs on at the weekend and keep the middle of the week free? even looking through the 3Arena dates, it's a mix, mostly weeknight gigs, but some weekend gigs too. The Eagles playing Saturday and Monday. why not Sunday and Tuesday? Cher on a Friday. Sigrid on a Friday....
johnnyskeleton wrote: » Le Bruise was commenting on the fact that most of his favourite bands play midweek here. My point is that people in Ireland pay for mid week gigs and so get mid week gigs. They also pay more than people in other European cities.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/music/733997/irish-music-fans-getting-fleeced-as-punters-charged-more-than-double-the-ticket-prices-for-gigs-than-other-european-cities/amp/ Very often youll see a band playing here mid week and sure enough theyre in London at the weekend. Its a lot rarer, IMO, to see them play london midweek and here at the weekend.
Zardoz wrote: » Amsterdam is a big market too ,probably third in Europe behind London and Dublin . Of course London has gigs on most nights of the week but the big acts tend to play indoor gigs midweek there so as to keep the weekend gigs for the weaker markets. Take this weeks major tour announcement by Khalid. Dublin on a Tuesday ,London on Tuesday and Wednesday . Glasgow on Friday,Birmingham on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday. Its no coincidence that the weekend dates are reserved for the 3 weakest markets . The Lumineers tour also went on sale today ,Dublin and Glasgow are getting a Friday gig ,Manchester Sunday and London ..a Wednesday .

johnnyskeleton wrote: » I think part of it is that Irish people will pay higher prices and tolerate mid week gigs more than people in other countries, hence bands will play here on a wednesday so that they can play elsewhere at a weekend.
Lotus Flower wrote: » I totally disagree. There's a gig on almost every night of the week in London, sometimes multiple. One of my best friends lives in Amsterdam and same thing there, she's at midweek gigs all the time
Zardoz wrote: » What he says is true . Dublin and London rarely get weekend gigs as these are two of the biggest markets in Europe . The weekend dates are kept for less attractive markets to drive sales.
