Sad it’s officially cancelled but glad they have given the option for a roll over for next year.

The demand will be huge next year to get a ticket especially for family.

SQ2 · 11-05-2020 08:13PM

Tickets for EP21 in the bag already! Yeeeeooowwwwww!!!!

Leave this thread as-is and just put 2021 in the title?

We've never been this prepared for EP!

EP 2020 ain't happening so either option A or option C with title 2020/2021?

Rollins has a very shady past so I wouldn’t be holding up him as some sort of hero

Give me bono at his most pontificating (if that’s a word!) than Henry Rollins scowling and roaring

U2 share royalties equally. And are still together 40 years later. Rollins was sued by former band mates. Says a lot.

I wasn't. I just find it amusing how much he hates them and is so public about it.

Was a fan of the U2 lads back in the day. I have the first single they ever pressed (12" U2-Three*, limited edition of one thousand. Mine is number 717 IIRC). I always found him a bit of a knob, but those early albums were excellent no doubt about it. I gave up once Rattle & Hum came around. They had some good stuff since then for sure, but I had lost interest tbh.

I think we all need a fresh start....new thread I feel!

We need a new hope...Lewis calpaldi or not !!!

I hope the physical tickets are required for those that want a refund, as it would surely help those that bought them online.

Mucker46 · 11-05-2020 10:18PM

I can rest easy knowing my ticket for ep 2021 is in the bag but a damn long wait for the first announcement. Was pretty sure from early on it wouldnt happen but as one of the highlights of my year it is sad now its confirmed. So many good gigs missed this year but a good few rescheduled so plenty to look forward to next year. Last gig i saw this year was Yonaka at grand social. Cracking gig but little did i know at the time that was it. Was a likely candidate for my gig of the year odds on now (fingers crossed for 1 or 2 more before year end). Stay safe and see you on the 2021 thread soon.

They would have to request physical tickets back, surely? Or else next year will have a ton of invalid tickets up for grabs.

Would they not be issuing new tickets?
Anyone that got two sets at christmas could be on a winner :pac:

Didn't they already request some people to send physical tickets back? I got three sets of tickets a while back and then a letter asking me to send them back to be re-issued with the correct tickets.

But that was all for 2020 tickets.

I am guessing everybody that keeps them will be reissued with new 2021 tickets.
I was just thinking out loud, that it would be good if those that were choosing the refund would have to send back their physical copies to get it.

Suckit · 11-05-2020 10:46PM

I have no idea..

I'm just guessing that there would be new tickets.

blackwhite · 11-05-2020 11:02PM

I can see how they’ll do reissuing for anyone who bought online simply enough

For anyone who purchased from physical outlets they’ll need to have some way for people to return tickets and receive new ones - or quote ticket serial numbers to request a 2021 ticket.

nc6000 · 11-05-2020 11:11PM

There will have to be some way to exchange tickets for 2021. Say I queued up at a Ticketmaster outlet and bought two tickets with cash - they've no way to contact me now with details of how to get a refund etc.

Third option for me. Rename as EP 2021

The longest EP thread ever

Almost 4000 posts now, would it last?

I bought two at a Ticketmaster outlet (Zhivagos) in Galway and one later online. At the outlet they took our names, addresses and telephone numbers, I assume for an eventuality like this. I also paid with a credit card as did most of the queue. Therefore exchanging tickets for next year shouldn't be an issue. To be honest I've not given it a though and nor shall I until July/August 2021.

We broke it last year and had to split into a second thread, it went over 10,000.

Unless it was a cash sale I seriously doubt they are going to opt to take on even more admin work. Most likely the order number will be refunded to the card that paid, which is what happened when Eminem cancelled Slane in 2005.

Buying or selling on the secondary market is against their T&C so very unlikely they'll do anything to help, you'd need to follow up with the seller and hope they do the right thing.

La.m · 12-05-2020 09:36AM

Does anyone know how to get a refund from Ticketmaster? I've looked everywhere on their website but no info? Are we just supposed to email them?

They really should have had the details of the refund scheme up on their website the moment they announced the cancellation.

100% they'll issue out new 2021 tickets, but yes there will be some at the gates next year with 2020 tickets.

Do you think they'd give me a 2020 wristband if I asked

Stillill42 · 12-05-2020 03:33PM

I'm thinking I might drive down on the Friday afternoon and have a solitary can sitting by the deserted Salty Dog while listening to a Doors/ Smith's playlist. Anyone watching closely might see a solitary tear quietly roll down my aged visage. To a plague free 2021, folks.

It just wouldn't be the same Still, I mean like you need to have a can for the walk to the salty dog as well as having a can at the salty dog!!

showpony1 · 12-05-2020 10:53PM

I think this being cancelled (& knowing how long the wait for another EP now is) has been the single most grim moment of the lockdown for me.
How my hair currently looks a close second.

12-05-2020 11:32PM

Anyone watching the excellent Sli na mBeaglaoich on TG4? Particularly Bodhrandude and Enda. Nice to see money pumped into a decent trad music road documentary.

dashdoll · 13-05-2020 08:22AM

Has anyone any info on how to get a refund? The email from ticketmaster is a bit of a joke. I called the helpline on the site but got an automated message to say the numver is out of order. The other option seems to be completing an online form. Has anyone successfully received a refund this way? Can't afford to let my ticket roll over to next year unfortunately as Covid has me out of work with bills rolling in!

You have to complete an online form and request a refund, the most recent TM refund i received, took two weeks. Under “normal” conditions it takes a week.

Select : Refund/Exchange in the “Topic” menu

Have watched the first two episodes, you know me too well! It's a nice easy watch to be fair, and of course the music a serious high level. The tunes in fr Ted's house was a highlight for me. Cormac Begley is a fantastic musician regardless, his style is really unique and the work he's done with Lisa O Neill in particular was fantastic.
