Arcade Fire 3 Arena 30th Aug 2022

I bought the MCD presale this morning went for 2 standing had to click on the link in the email they send, had a look at the 3 pre sale last night and it was only seated, not a gig I want to be sitting for.

The Infinite Content (in the round) gig was 2018. Was standing for it and could wander around the stage, some spots way louder than others. Brilliant night, only downer being the idiot that nicked Win's hat off his head!🙄

Lucky enough to end up at the path they took through the crowd to get out, have a great video of the whole band walking right past me.

Was seated for their Suburbs tour, no comparison!

I may well have put it on here alright!😄 Have caught them a few times outdoor as well (Oxegen, Benicassim, Marley Park) and they definitely work better in the open air. I'm going to hang on getting tickets for this one I think. Have a good few gigs coming up (postponed and new), so will decide later and roll the dice on it not selling out.

Got a standing ticket no problem. Not happy paying more than the Malahide Castle show. Seen them in 3arena back in 2010 with Vampire Weekend who were great. Never heard of the support act this time Feist?

Second gig. Wednesday night.

Indoor gigs in the last week of August are a sacrilege. This should have been on in the RDS or Lansdowne Road as one big eff-off outdoor gig. Lord knows AF have the size of show to carry it off, I saw them at Malahide Castle in 2017 and it was a banger of a show.

You are 100% correct. 2nd gig was announced and went onsale Friday morning, unsure of the exact time, but i bought August 31 st standing tickets at about 10:45 Friday morning, as Aug 30th did not suit me. I did not need any presale code, allthough i had one.

I’d guess its re hyping the sales, making announcements of extra gigs, and making those people who can get presale codes “special” !!

Not sure what you mean, all areas available on 2nd night seating map, or, am i missing something

Thats interesting, they must have done an assessment that 2nd night may not sell out so, and won’t release the top tler until, or “if”, the rest sell out.

i also noticed no 2nd gigs have been added yet, in the UK, which i would have expected, at least in venues like the O2 London.

Not that any of this matters, they are a too tier band live.

Gig tickets all round are expensive these days. But when you think about it, we can generally get their music for almost free - spotify, streaming etc. It's not terribly long ago that we have to shell out approx €10 every time we wanted to get a CD. I don't have any issue with bands charging decent amounts for gigs. I don't know what the income structure is for musicians, but I would imagine the income that they make from actually making music has significant dropped than what it was, say, 15 years ago.

Interesting viewpoint - hadn't really considered that. I ended up buying the album on vinyl for a presale code (really liked the album via streaming first), but more than often wouldn't get the album.

Yeah, go for E-ticket delivery. Venues will still scan a print-out of the qr code. Obviously, try to avoid Ticketmaster whenever possible though!
