I managed to get Gold Circle tickets for Depeche Mode. Not even sure what this is! Can anyone explain what this is exactly? And am I forced to stay here, or can I stand anywhere?
It just means you have access to the front pit, if you got there early you could be in the first row of fans.
You don't have to stay in the pit, you can come and go from the general admission area as you please.
Of course you are not forced to stay there
Gold circle is closest to stage/best views.
OK thanks. I was hoping you'd say there's a private bar in this area! 😃
Would I be wrong to assume there'd be more room to stand in this area? (i.e. less pushing from behind)?
Back of the gold circle is usually a sweet spot, enough room that you can see the stage clearly, but no-one behind you.
Anybody pay extra to get VIP access for Forever Young before ?
It's an extra 55eu on top of 78 for a Friday night ticket and then parking as well .
I just want to see Squeez but seems like a lot of money for what may not be a very long set ..
Think I will need the seating that day unfortunately.
You can bring a seat in to the main stage if you dont want to pay for VIP.
Can you ? If I can that would be ok . All the other 'open field 'concerts say no fold up seats etc .
From the website: "There is some seating in the VIP and Gold Members area, but you are encouraged to bring camping chairs, blankets etc to settle in for the day in the arena. There is a standing only area in front of the stages where chairs and blankets are not permitted."
There is an area at the front of the stage where they dont allow seats for safety reasons, but anywhere further back its grand.
Going to Sting at Malahide Castle tomorrow night. I was thinking of parking along the Coast road and walking up. Is this feasible? or would it be too busy or too far?
Look out for the crows
It is feasible. About 35 to 40 mins walk .
Thanks for the other reply . I thought that just referred to the VIP area .
Hi,
Heading to Hozier in Malahide Castle tomorrow night.
What's the best option for getting to/from the gig? Will be staying near booterstown dart so is DART the best option?
Is there such a thing as a ticketmaster phone number to call? I want to cancel tickets purchased yesterday- website says I have 24 hour cooling off period- however I don’t see a number and when I interacted with the bot it wasn’t helpful
since covid no phone number. Raise a case on the website
Thanks for the reply- yeah the bot turned out to sort the issue so all good
Could anyone recommend a UK /Europe festival suitable for a 11 year old (fun kids stuff) and 17 year old (decent/cool music lineup) ?
Its crap that many Irish festival don't allow anyone between 13 & 17 to attend, so looking towards UK/Europe.
Bluedot and Greenman are 2 UK festivals that stick out but if anyone has other suggestions (not Glasto!) I'd appreciate it. Its not just festival ticket cost, looking at travel cost/location , potentially boutique camping etc.
Cheers

Thanks.
Bought 2 tickets for Simple Minds at the SSE. One to be transferred to a friend who I don't see often. At the moment Ticketmaster aren't allowing transfers for this show - how normal is that and how likely is it that they will become transferable at some point?
Usually the transfer option opens at some point closer to the gig. Completely normal not to be able to transfer just after tickets have gone on sale
Seems tobe hit and miss! Bought Rick Astley tickets back in July for next March and was able to transfer them the same day (and that was presale). And Bad Manners went on sale this morning and there's a transfer option there too.
Olympia question… am I right that they if you arrive early they give you some type of wristband that guarantees you a spot up the front?
Depends on the gig/artist
From my knowledge you get a wristband if you're 'Standing' and can go in and out etc
Yeah, there's a pit at the front, only about 75 capacity but great if you get one.
Liberty Theatre question.
I bought a ticket for Eric Cantona (curiosity mainly but if he sings Kung Fu Fighting I'll be a happy chappy 😆) stage time is apparently 8.00 pm Would anyone have a guesstimate of his show time/length I can’t imagine he will be that long but would be nice to know.
If you look on setlist.fm once the tour starts (he has a few UK dates before here) then they often have the start time and duration there, would probably be roughly the same for all his shows
Ya, but it's very easy to jump the barrier. They don't have security lined up along the barrier cause not enough room for them in the Olympia. The security guys are generally along the side of the gig area. I've gotten into the "pit" several times. Just a little roll over the barrier when the lights are down low.
Has anyone used the split payment option on Ticketmaster to make 3 interest free payments over 3 months? Really wanting to go to Springsteen but not keen on paying it all out in one go, especially as there are a lot of things being announced at the moment to catch the Christmas present buying market!
