    Where do you get the Spotify codes? Do you go in to buy the tickets via Spotify?


  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭citygal93


    just got emailed spotify code "TRUTHHURTS" if anyone wants to try it. I just clicked the link however and it's saying there's no tickets available.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭CWF


    Didn't get any either


  • Registered Users Posts: 198 ✭✭twiddleypop

    I have a direct link to the spotify pre sale if anyone wants to PM me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭CWF


    They're all gone I think. I didn't receive an email from Spotify I think you needed to go through the email so having the code alone wasn't enough for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 872 ✭✭✭Captain Red Beard


    I went direct from my Spotify account, nothing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭AnnaSophia


    I got them, from a link on twitter that some kind soul shared! The ticketmaster link was just spinning but this went through Lizzo’s website.

    ive just seen that..... i thought they were shutting down seatwave??

    so much for this promise:
    So, we’re launching a fan-to-fan ticket exchange on Ticketmaster where you can easily buy tickets or sell tickets you can’t use at the price originally paid or less.

    disgusting


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,830 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    i wonder what the chances are of another show added on the 9th??


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 15,776 Mod ✭✭✭✭smacl


    Some still available on Viagogo and €130-€150. I'll be pleased to see anti-touting laws come into place late this month; https://www.thejournal.ie/ticket-touting-new-law-4459039-Jan2019/

    Definitely saw they for less earlier but it was one in the Circle and didn't want just one on my own in the Circle. Shame on Ticketmaster/Seatwave :mad:

    They're now listed as Official platinum tickets also at €140 a pop for this gig, which is basically just overpriced touting. Looks very much like TicketMaster is buying up and holding tickets in reserve to shamelessly fleece fans disappointed by quick sell-out / low availability (also controlled by TicketMaster). Hopefully this will have been made illegal before the event, so I'll be checking back then.

    The Platinum tickets were available on the app from 10 and sneakily thats what was selected by default.

    400 tickets was all that was available for the general sale this morning ,the rest were either sold in the presale or held back as Platinum tickets .

    I think we know that the tickets would sell out quickly especially with the capacity of the Olympia (great venue) but what makes us madder is the whole resale for at least 3 times the price & Ticketmaster allow this - the only way this will ever stop is if artists ask for this to be stopped or stop using TM due to this.
    The laws to stop/prevent this reselling of tickets is too slow.

    Lizzo could have sold out a week in the Olympia I would say.

    I'd wonder about how many tickets actually went on sale at face value this morning and how many Ticketmaster decided to hold back as "platinum tickets".

    I literally refreshed my phone at 1 second past 10am only to be told no tickets were available...


  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭IrishAlice


    I got really lucky and managed to get 3 tickets at face value. Three of us were trying for tickets and I was the only one who managed to get anything.

    Definitely the bulk of them were already gone on presale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 529 ✭✭✭snor


    The fact that 1 person could buy up to 8 tickets meant there was never a hope. I was at Ticketmaster booth and they got 0 tickets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,536 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Ticketmaster really is a despicable organisation and I hate that every event goes through them.

    Totally dishonest practices.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,576 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    The vast majority for this went in presale.
    Yes the resale and premium are annoying

    But for a venue this size presale was always gonna take up the majority

    I don't believe all available tickets sold out in 6 seconds. Ticketmaster are not being straight.

    Yes and I'm afraid their monopoly is only going to get worse after the Irish regulator approved Livenations takeover of MCD

    The UK regulator isnt happy

    Big strange that face value tickets were listed at €30.50 - €49.50 and then suddenly there were premium tickets available at €140 even though there was no mention of them pre sale?

    Very suspicious allright.

    What was really sneaky is that at 10am when the event went live on the app ,that the Platinum tickets were selected as default so people unwittingly searched for these instead of the normal tickets.

    This saga confirms Dublin is crying out for a mid size venue to accommodate new/flash in the pan artists. Nothing we don't know already. Olympia is totally wrong for Lizzo.

    She's shockingly overrated regardless - "Juice" sounds like written by a gang of millennials stealing the sound of their parents old cassettes to do a garage concert.

    Platinum tickets weren't an original option. That came across more of a resale title to catch people who were desperate for a ticket after they sold out.

    About 400 tickets went on sale that morning, you only need 200 people online waiting in the queue for 10am, looking for 2 tickets each so of course it would be sold in a split second. The tickets get assigned and unless you drop them from your cart, or time out, they wouldn't be going back through to anyone else in the queue.

    Have said it before but for concerts that are going to be in demand, lower the max number that can be bought by 1 person1 booking.
    So for a gig like this, make it 2 per person/booking..
    More people can go and makes it less likely that they will be on sale on gogo.
    If 4 people are looking to go, let them all try themselves instead of allowing each person to buy up to 8 tickets which means 4 people could end up with 32 tickets between them! :eek:.
    Most people using e tickets nowadays so not as if there's any extra costs involved.
    It's T/M though so no chance they will do anything about it.

    Did this sell out?
