Is this a seated only gig? Only seems to be prices for seats listed. No standing.

All their gigs are fully seated

IamMetaldave · 29-09-2021 9:29am

Anyone having problems with the 3 presale codes?

Didn't with the code but had issues getting tickets. Made numerous attempts and finally got them

The visa card authorisation is a pain

I keep getting errors finding the tickets... this "queuing" systems seems a bit stupid compared to the old way.

Burty330 · 29-09-2021 9:56am

I can't purchase any tickets. . There's a little circle thats been spinning around for the last 40mins. I re-join queue and still nothing.

Dero · 29-09-2021 10:21am

I can't get the 3 presale working at all. It offers me tickets (alternating between block M & N), but it then says unable to reserve, please choose again.

I have really crap eyesight, so wonder what are the chances of getting closer seats on Friday morning?

Nevermind. I got it working. I got two in block F. Feels weird that it's fully seated, but at least I'll be there. 🤘

IamMetaldave · 29-09-2021 10:30am

That was happening for me too! And after and hour and a half it finally worked! Pay with Paypal, the card authorisation is stuck in a loop or too much traffic. Paypal zips through! :)

johnnykilo · 29-09-2021 12:51pm

Got in at exactly 9am, 4 deadly seats, and then couldn't get the **** verified by Visa thing to work. Tried 3 times entering the correct code but it kept saying error.

After sending me 3 codes, it refused to send me any more and my time ran out. Beyond frustrating. Half tempted to give the Verified by Visa helpline a ring and bollock them out of it.

One Who Waits... · 29-09-2021 2:38pm

Been trying on & off all day since 9am and wasn't offered any decent seats at all. Not paying 92 clams + fees to sit right at the back.

wexdevil · 29-09-2021 3:31pm

It was only giving me seating in G block this morning :/ atleast they're not at the back i suppose.

nah, saw them in lisbon in 2019 and there was standing

Naked Lepper · 29-09-2021 3:38pm

wanted to get good seats earlier on pre sale but it kept giving block A (poxy seats imo)

eventually settled for block M, which is quite far and at the back but is more centre so will have a decent view but just a bit far back

Mushy · 29-09-2021 4:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117954693#Comment_117954693

On this tour I should have said.

Got good seats in Block E, happy with that

PTH2009 · 29-09-2021 5:04pm

Is MJK one of those no chit chatty performers ?

yep! dont think he said a word at the 2019 gig i was at for tool

saw APC a few times and he might say a bit here and there but not much really

Burty330 · 01-10-2021 9:40am

Wtf is AIB verification crap.. they are meant to send a text and you reply Y or N. Why change that system for buying tickets. You need a quick a resolve because of the timer.. AIB basically wouldn't allow buy to purchase tickets.. Absolute joke.

tippingpoint · 01-10-2021 9:53am

Managed to get flat seating this morning in row G. Delighted! The only ones available with the 3 presale code on Wednesday were all really far back 🙄

rainagain · 01-10-2021 10:15am

Other half got tickets for flat seating this morning, absolutely delighted. Have listened to the last album a lot recently!

Out of nosiness just had a look to see if tickets left - first time I've seen dynamic pricing for a gig in Ireland:

"BLOCK C Row 13 Seat -

Official Platinum Ticket €360.00 each+ Fees

These tickets vary in price driven by demand from fans, similar to airline tickets and hotel rooms. By using this dynamic pricing, we give fans an opportunity to safely buy official tickets for the events they love right up to the date of the show."

GLaDOS · 01-10-2021 10:19am

Away for my wedding that week, unbelievable timing 😥

Burty330 · 01-10-2021 10:42am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962136#Comment_117962136

Is this going to be the future of ticket pricing? The more demand the more ticketmaster fleece the buyer. €400 for a single ticket being sold BY ticketmaster doesn't seem right to me.. I thought Michael Higgins banned ticket touting. It would appear Ticketmaster ARE the Touts

Do you want a chat ?

i recommend the foo fighters or Bruce Springsteen or jedward

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962246#Comment_117962246

Exactly - the ticketsellers have found a way to sell stupidly priced tickets legally as they know that some people will pay crazy money. Unless bands/artists and their management insist on not using such tactics, I can see this being offered more and more.

He definitely spoke a bit in 2006. Mentioned something about Keenan and Carey being Irish names to many cheers and then Chancellor and Jones being English names which brought the obvious boos. He knew his audience.

Pro2ac · 01-10-2021 11:08am

I rarely ever post on Boards.ie (a lurker) for fear of crazy negative comments thrown my way. I also don’t like creating a fuss, but as an immigrant to Ireland something that always excited me was that I could finally stand a chance to see bands I have adored since my teens. I genuinely adore all of Maynards output, perfect circle, pucifer, tool. Its gotten me through a lot and been incredibly empowering… and this whole thing has actually broken my heart. I tried my best to get a decent ticket in the presale, I was so nervous about tickets going on sale the previous night I struggled to sleep. The only thing I could get due to Ticketmaster difficulties is essentially in the broom cupboard. My partner tried to get something better on the presale this morning and didn’t manage. I am literally in the 2nd last row from the back, to the side. So I honestly considered trying to get the expensive tickets in row D today…just to discover they would be the same as my half of a mortgage payment (?!). I mean how is this the ethical way for a self-proclaimed post punk/metal band to carry on? I get it, times are tough. But jesus H , they are for us too. There has to be a more fair/ethical way for ticketmaster/tool to go about this surely? I mean did a lot of people get good tickets and I was just crazy unlucky?😔

What the hell are 'Official Platinum Tickets'? Is this a new thing? Are they in anyway different from regular tickets, or are they just like if all tickets are sold out quick they hold some 'Platinum' Tickets and charge a fortune??

Zardoz · 01-10-2021 11:17am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962382#Comment_117962382

They are just normal tickets that Ticketmaster hold back to sell off at exorbitant prices.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962367#Comment_117962367

Dont buy the platinum tickets.

Ticketmaster will release extra seats later on at normal prices, they always do, you can then upgrade your tickets.

One Who Waits... · 01-10-2021 11:18am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962382#Comment_117962382

From TicketMaster's website:

Why are these tickets a higher price than tickets on the main website? Are these re-sale tickets? No these aren’t resale tickets. Platinum Tickets are being sold for the very first time through Ticketmaster. The prices are adjusted according to supply and demand, similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold. The goal is to give the most passionate fans fair and safe access to the most in-demand tickets while allowing the artists and everyone involved in staging live events to price tickets closer to their true value.

Do I get anything else with my Platinum Tickets? Platinum Tickets aren’t part of a package, so the price you're paying is just for the tickets – there aren't any added extras or VIP/hospitality elements to the booking.

TicketMaster are now the touts basically.

The ban on ticket touting only applies to designated events and venues.

The promoter has to apply for designation under the act for a particular venue or event.

This has to be done before the event goes on sale and mentioned in the terms and conditions.

There seems to be vey little if no uptake by promoters so far, unsurprisingly when you consider that they want to sell platinum tickets .

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962406#Comment_117962406

Hey, any idea when I should be checking or should I just sort of log back in every morning and have a look? Thanks for the advise. Much appreciated.

Zardoz · 01-10-2021 2:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962499#Comment_117962499

It can vary but I'd possibly try this time in 2 weeks time and then 6 weeks out from the event.

Yeah those Platinum tickets are some load of BS and whoever is stupid enough to buy them deserves to be fleeced

Possibly could be more tickets released nearer the event ie production seats. Also keep an eye on Toutless

Ash.J.Williams · 01-10-2021 2:20pm

i paid 40 quid to join the fanclub and bought 4 reasonably located seats for 92 each. gutted for everyone today and i mailed the arts minister specifically regarding regular seats magically turning into VIP seats depending on demand, everyone should do the same

don't be put off by negative posts they are idiots :) broom cupboard or not you are going to the show and are lucky!

Naked Lepper · 01-10-2021 2:59pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117962406#Comment_117962406

Is it possible to upgrade later on the site if you got tickets in another block?

Mike Guide 69 · 01-10-2021 3:01pm

I got a ticket literally up near the roof,upper row m, ,I’m half tempted to email ticketmaster to enquire if I could get complimentary binoculars with my ticket purchase

Naked Lepper · 01-10-2021 3:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117963606#Comment_117963606

at least block M is sort of centre

i would prefer to sit there (in fact I am also in block m) than in one of the blocks at the side like block A

you will get a full view of the stage and lights etc from that perspective rather than a side profile of maynards head and a wall taking up half of your peripheral vision

Zardoz · 01-10-2021 3:12pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117963587#Comment_117963587

Yes.

https://help.ticketmaster.ie/hc/en-ie/articles/360019928573-Fan-Guarantee

We can only offer exchanges for tickets in the same price bracket or higher, subject to a €6 admin fee per booking. Please be aware that if an event does sell out, an exchange won't be available

You used to be able to ring up to do the swap but they closed the phone line down, so now I think you buy the better seats then send them a request to cancel the first order.

Its a very handy feature.

johnnykilo · 01-10-2021 9:03pm

Got in again this morning, 4 good seats again, only to be fucked once more by Verified by Visa. How in the name of Christ are you supposed to get tickets on a mobile when you need to exit the app to get the security code, then when you reopen the app it puts your right at the **** start again? **** ridiculous.

I was up there for Rush and, as annoying as it is to be so far away, you do get to take everything in. Was at a gig in Paris (Maiden at Accer hotels arena I think is name of it), to the side and well up...the amphitheatre style set up at 3 arena is great for the back middle seats.

The app does that all right. So instead of using the tm icon to relaunch it, use your android menu button to switch back to the app

Second London gig announced on May 10. I'd say if they were going to announce a second Irish gig they would have by now.

Trevor Noah is playing the 3Arena the 7th, there wont be a second gig.

fcuking disgraceful carry on from ripoffmaster, they should be boycotted at this stage

I used to work at gigs... There's no such thing as "just added second day", it's always planned. We'd know of a second day by now, so it's not happening.
