Gigs announced this morning .
September 9th & 10th .
Highly doubt that, watch how quick these two gigs sell next week. I'd agree that the hype from 2014 won't be as high though. But just because they have a license for five dosent mean 5 will actually happen. It will obviously depend on the initial demand.
Who would the action be against... Council or Croke park or both...
I be surprised if the 3 extra concerts ever g ahead as one act to sell 160,000 takes a bit of doing... i always thought it was a way of changing the parameters of the planning or whatever people want to call it...
Of course it can be challenged, in Court.
Plus they put a few dates on sale initially in 2014 and people got caught up in the hype and bought them.
They drip fed the dates and the idea was novel.
Now people know that there are 5 gigs planned so the hype and demand wont be there.
You wont be able to give away tickets for these gigs next summer, they will be going for 20 euro.
Sure it cannot be challenged the Council granted the license for the gigs... i expect precedent set....
There is no clause as such, it was a Gentlemen's agreement between the Stadium Operator and the local community.
That good faith is a bust now, Croke Park needn't be surprised at any challenges that come their way.
Maybe over Covid now but last time many other Europeans had tickets bought
Well yeah, they don't want a repeat of the 2014 debacle , so the permission is there for five gigs if they want.
I cannot figure out why the big fuss was about the 5 concerts... i had assumed the 3 already sold and more demand... I am now thinking that it was an opportunity to get the original planning clause changed...
To be fair, he's not really popular in other countries, his last world tour in 98 only did Dublin/Belfast in Europe too. Doubt there'll be too many travelling
€65 standing, €80 seats plus fees.
2 Pina coladas (one for each hand)
It's his only European gigs sure to sell out
The big difference between 2014 and now, is that the Sale of Tickets Act 2021 is in effect and Croke Park is a designated venue under the Act, so that no ticket may be exchanged above face value and those involved in any part of doing that, are committing an offence.
It'll be sure interesting to see how many individual fans buy one ticket for themselves only, rather than the giant gouge-fest the 400,000 in 2014 was destined to be. By the way, all those touts that couldn't get refunds that year was still one of the most joyous parts of the whole saga.
This might help ya
I feel ill jast thinkin abot dis.what shud I take?
Only saying as a passing comment and no way do i want these events to fail
Would personally be surprised if they don't all sell out. Although i seem to remember the saga last time round being a bit like Tulip-mania. Could see a lot of resells.
Why would it be ironic? For someone who claims to want these shows, you seem to want them to fail?
I wasn't paying attention and for some reason i assumed that tickets for first 3 concerts already sold but seems not. If Croke Park can hold 80,000 that be 400,000... its a lot of selling for one act... I think tickets likely be like €80...
It look silly to go to all the trouble if they cannot sell....
Wouldn't it be ironic if he actually didn't sell enough tickets and he may only end up only doing 2/3 shows, with the tickets been relatively cheap (but still expensive) its hard not seeing him doing the 5 shows
Expect show Night 3 (Sun Sep 11th) to be announced instantly after Nights 1 and 2 'sell out' in record time etc. Think Nights 4 and 5 slated for Fri 16th/Sat 17th Sep and they might get announced at a later date or even next week who knows at this stage
It wouldn't happen every year, as much as the GAA would love it. There simply aren't enough huge acts in the world to justify it.
I have to say the gaa played a blinder getting the gigs through... this set a precedent going forward.... will it be 3.. 5 or 7 each year....
Last time they were camped out in January
Anyways leave them off, the pain and suffering of ticketmaster on laptop/app is enough
I'd say it'll be fine, (the website). It's just going to be two dates on sale at the start. The attention seekers can camp out in the cold if they want, wouldn't fancy doing that in November.
Do you need a presale code tho?
Yesss, happy the 2014 debacle can be put behind us now (wait til covid or health reasons cancel them ha)
Like last time announce 2 then a 3rd and next the 4th and 5th shows
How many physical ticketmater stores are left in the country ? No doubt attention seekers will be out in force like last time. No way the website will keep up and not crash next week
Friend shared tweet with me, apparently if you add this to any irish Ticketmaster event you get presale access.
?did=elaserp
Didn't realise tickets onsale at 8am, I thought it would be 9, let's hope my phone doesn't let me down.
