Bono - Stories of Surrender - Olympia, 21st November

RolandGoose

'An evening of words, music and some mischief…'.

Live Nation and Penguin Random House have announced a 14-date city book tour in support of SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, the forthcoming memoir by Bono.

The book tour, titled 'Stories of Surrender' and produced by Live Nation, is a limited run of theatre dates to mark the release of a memoir in which one of the world's most iconic artists writes for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. Bono will bring the stories of his life to life — live and in person— to 14 cities across North America and Europe.

Stopping off in the Olympia Theatre on Monday, November 21st. Tickets from €61.20 to €102 (not incl booking fee)

I wouldn't be surprised if Tubridy has him on the Late Late Show to talk about the book.

Please keep me in mind if you are offloading these Zardoz. I had ZERO luck in the U2 and 3 pre-sales.

I got 2 in Stalls Row B in the 3presale but I will wait to see what the reviews are like before committing .

Im not paying 110 euro to listen to Bono reading excerpts from his book.

He is only charging 30 euro for a talk in Cheltenham the previous week.

Yeah, considering they're all very close, I highly doubt that will ever happen.

'I don't care for any of the band members'

Yep nothing like that will come from the book

If there's anything spicy in the book it'll be in the media

He should tell his story in Finnegans, 4 pints deep. Like the rest of us 😁

I had noticed that, but I still think it's totally feasible. 48 hours is enough to turn around a venue, even for a stage musical. There are a few examples of this in the Bord Gáis' upcoming schedule, when one show's run ends and another begins with a two day, or - in some cases - only a one day gap. And I'd imagine that Bono's production wouldn't need much time for a load-out.

Their respective websites list their capacities for seating and (where applicable for other shows) standing options.

Out of curiosity where did you get the venues capacity info?

Fanirish

whilst no show is on in bord Gais that night beauty and beast starts two days after. Setting up stages and doing stage rehearsals that Day would mean no one can use it. Thus bord Gais isn’t available.

When you consider the capacity of the venues in Manchester (2,693), Glasgow (3,000, a great auditorium) and London (2,286), the Bord Gáis was the obvious choice for Dublin.

The Olympia seats a paltry 1,247, hundreds of which will have probably been allocated for guests.

The Bord Gáis is free on the 21st and has 2,111 seats. It would have been a much better venue, similar in scale to those venues in the UK.

If you really wanna go Glasgow is still available

I managed to get 2 from the U2.com Presale, but saw loads that didnt. This morning, in the blink of an eye, TM said they were none available.

I get why its the small venue, would something like this work in the 3arena? Not so sure.

Re: Do you mind if I ask what section you managed to get a ticket for? Fair play! They were like hens teeth, even on the U2. Com presale!

I got back row in the Circle (Lower Balcony) in the 3 presale. Given the demand, I was happy to get in anywhere.

No luck. Tried Manchester too and same story.

Will say one thing...

For a guy that is supposed to be hated by the country, a lot of people sure want to see him...

It's not for us fans, it's for VIPs and RTE employees

Nothing available on general sale this morning as expected. Anyone have any luck?

I'll be glad it's in the Olympia if I can get a flippin ticket! 🤣

I secured a ticket this morning. However It amazes me that this is on in the Olympia, yet Joanne McNally & Vogue Williams are doing 2 nights in the 3arena?!?!

I had the same experience in the U2 Fan Club pre-sale. Nightmare!

Hopefully we will have better luck in the general sale tomorrow!

The Olympia is a small intimate venue for this, would have been easier in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre. I'm sure there are lot of seats held back for guest lists and VIPS etc!

weadick

Had a fanclub pre sale code and a Three presale code but neither worked. Fairly gutted...
