Seeing as Elton has now rescheduled his Dublin gigs, might be useful to start a 2023 thread as others might start popping up.
The Commitments - 7th - 19th February (Olympia Theatre)
Elton John - 28th/29th March (3Arena)
Did you ever see R.E.M.?
No doubt it will sell out quickly but the presale allocation was not large.
If only REM would get back together
Even a Michael Stipe solo gig would be great
Vicar Street, eh? On the up.
General sale will be sold out by 10.01 Monday morning.
Guaranteed.
It was the same for the Paul Heaton/Jacqui Abbot gigs in the SSE presale. We were offered absolutely awful seats in that. Better to wait for the general sale in that case.
Yard Act, Vicar Street, Wed. 26th April. Tickets, a very reasonable €20.50, on sale Tuesday: https://singularartists.ie/show/yard-act-2/
I had aisle tickets for Kings of Leon in the 3 Arena. It was a curse, had to move any time someone from the row wanted to get in or out. I don't mind a bit of it but no one from our row that night could sit still for any length of time.
I don't think the presales got a huge allocation. There were plenty of crap seats available for quite a while which suggests the supply wasn't there rather than there being a huge demand for seats.
That's not to say there won't be demand on general sale but over three presales for Blink 182 the only seats were nosebleeds and seats in the wings.
Overhead, The Albatross are back and playing a few gigs in January. Nothing in the pale yet though
26/01 Galway, Roisin Dubh
27/01 Cork, Cyprus Avenue
28/01 Limerick, Dolans
New single sounds very nice...
Yes, they often sell all the allocation in presales.
25th in the queue and nothing for Luke Combs.
Sometimes it could backfire like wwes clash at the castle in Cardiff where they really fucked up the pricing with the presale
In the last while promoters/artists are putting as many Tickets as presale as possible up to 80/90%. Use to be only a 10-15%
Jesus, do they really put all tix for sale on the pre-sale? In the past there were only some percentage allocated to the pre-sale.
Edit: looks like only a selection of tix on pre-sale. Just purchases Iron Maiden in ps, plenty of tix inc standing through MCD pre-sale, but only a few with 3plus
There will be hardly any tickets left for the General sale, demand is very high for the reunion.
You should be able to pick up better seats down the line though.
MCD pre-sale for Blink182 was absolutely useless. Giving me seated tickets in the back corner of the SSE arena. And sold out within 3 minutes? Hardly.
They clearly try to fob off the worst seats on the actual fans who use the presale.
Yea, saw them there the last time and it was a good concert but that venue has too many seats and no space for dancing!
Malahide Castle is a great venue for a June concert 👍
'Aisle Seating
Choose from the best available Aisle seats and enjoy the convenience of easy access to refreshments, restrooms and venue exits. Aisle Seating means each and any of the first two seats located next to the aisle at either end of each row. Please note, this means your Aisle Seating allocation may or may not be the seat directly adjacent to an aisle. Can only be purchased in multiples of 2'
Seems to be a newish thing that promoters have thought up. Most of the time for 3Arena gigs if i was getting 1 ticket id browse and eventually pick up an Aisle seat ticket. Really prefer it more or so for the access as stated in the item discription and youre not sandwiched in the middle of an aisle like a spare prick
Yeah, essentially, did it for Billy Joel in the garden and gotta say, worth the extra money.
What's this aisle surcharge? Never heard of that. You pay extra to sit beside an aisle?
Picked up 2 tickets just now.
Thanks for that, Jesus pricy enough tickets and they have the 'aisle seating' surcharge bollocks
Thankfully got a ticket in Block K only 4 seats in from the Aisle
code is WEARECOMING
seems to b only seated tickets left though
Any link to that sale ?
Got tickets for Blink 182 this morning through the artist presale. Looking forward to it now
That of course, assumes the Vegas venue is actually finished, its still under construction !
Yeah it's an odd one. Not sure what it's about. You'd think it's either sold out or not so not sure why tickets would appear unavailable until sold out.
Word on the U2 fan sites is that the only U2 gigs for 2023 will be in Las Vegas. The proposed outdoor gigs for 2023 will now be in 2024
I’d love to know, how, and why this happens, have seen it so many times, its not as if this venue, has a massive capacity, what is it something like 850 ?
Ah weird. Was showing unavailable for a while this morning so assumed it was sold out
