    That's it,I am going trawling the pubs next year before the concerts sussing out who could have an argument and decide not to go!

    Anyone get the MCD code yet?

    That’s my point though about the website, it’s not fit for purpose & people should know that by now. Why stress yourself out & waste up to 6 hours of your day when tickets will always come available. Concerts, matches etc. tickets are always available if you want one badly enough. I’ve gone to Dublin every year since 1999 for the All Ireland hurling final and I’ve always got a ticket. I’ve been a few minutes late into a couple of matches because I’ve got a ticket last minute but I’ve always got one.

    Someone above mentioned hotel prices for these Coldplay gigs. I’ve not checked prices but the person mentioned €1,000 a night for hotels. Nobody in their right mind will pay these prices & when reality hits they’ll put the tickets up for sale. Anyone who isn’t lucky enough to get one this week I guarantee if you want one badly enough, you’ll get one. And I’m not talking about paying over the odds, I’m talking face value tickets. I’ve heard stories of people buying €300 tickets today just to guarantee them, that’s bananas. If they want the €300 experience, not sure what that experience is, then fair play I’m delighted they are sorted but if people found they were the only tickets available & stretched their budget just to get one then I think it’s madness. Face value tickets will be in plentiful supply in the months and weeks leading up to the gigs.

    You can buy a ticket resold by ticket master - as tickets can’t be transferred in a lot of cases only resold via TM.

    Would you buy a print out from someone in a pub for a gig or off someone online?

    I sold a few EP tickets through Ticketmaster the other night as I can’t go. I’m just wondering why people are still trying to sell tickets through Toutless as an example?

    Because if Ticketmaster transfer is available you can pay someone the money and they transfer it to you. I’ve never seen a gig where transfer is never available

    Might be easy for people around Dublin but I doubt it would be for the rest of us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,155 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    your night it’s easy to get one ticket - but if groups of friends or couples want tickets beside each other it’s harder and riskier l. Hurling tickets have always been easier to get - try all Ireland football find day and some of the early years it was like gold dust



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,774 ✭✭✭Jaffa3000


    You’ll get a ticket for any big gig no problem no matter where you are based. Springsteen sold out the day tickets went on sale but as soon as transfer was enabled it was dead easy to pick up any amount of them from Twickets etc.

    This is all I'm getting... Nothing to click?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭martco


    Exactly this!

    the FOMO, pure greed and basic lack of understanding as to what something is actually worth going on around gigs at the mo is actually a bit unsettling to see and hear, reminds me a lot of those yearly concocted marketing wheezes designed to ensnare Primary school kids like the MatchAttax, beyblades and so on.

    I goto several gigs per year with my kid. I'm longtime on Toutless, it usually never fails me if we miss out on the original ticket sale, worst outside on the night someone will turn up for a face value deal, I never ever pay over the odds.

    I do wonder if it's something about us? (Irish people that is) like we'd tip over to gigs now and again to the likes of France, Germany etc. never any inflated prices or buying frenzies involved, flight + gig + hotel cost would be well inside some of the numbers I heard about today?!?!

    That's all I got this morning after queuing for ages.. What is wrong with this site?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭dalyboy


    I got offered tickets earlier for €975 each on the ticket master website. It appears that ticket master are now the unofficial official touts of their own performing acts.

    Makes me wonder why they poured so much hate to Jimmy and Bobby the local touts and forced them out of business years ago. (Jim and bob were mean but ticket master is off the wall mean)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 552 ✭✭✭De_man


    Today, was just a complete fiasco.

    while I managed to get tickets, I believe they’ll be readily available once hotel/accommodation costs become widely known.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭Mike3549


    You went to vip ticket sales section and complaint that the prices were like for vip tickets?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,445 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    Something weird about Irish people because they try to buy tickets to the biggest band in the world?


    Certain concert snobbery around here which I find bizarre and pathetic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭ellejay


    Hi would anyone have a MCD code please!

    Raging I didn't get tickets today got "oops something went wrong" after queuing since ten to ten this morning.

    And dropped my phone in the panic screen cracked so thanks Coldplay



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,531 ✭✭✭Car99


    Unless you go to TM via the link in the email you won't get through to purchase tickets you'll get stuck on the seating map page with a spinning artist presale



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,471 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I was on before 10 but didn't refresh when in lobby....so got absolutely nothing.

    Anyone know when general sale is on?

    Just got the MCD presale there now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,274 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Just got the MCD presale email



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭AG123


    Same here but no code… just a link and it brings you to the ticketmaster page?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭Mike3549


    I was at the Take That reunion with Robbie Williams (2011???) Hogans stand i think, most expensive tickets at the time, the last row of the lower section. If you're sitting its ok, you could see everything. But when Take That came on stage, everybody stood up, the f#cking upper section was blocking the view of the stage, we could only see the pitch. We had to move to the stairs so we could see the show. We managed to move closer to the pitch so in the end it was great

    I know it's hard but have some time and wait it out it you don't get tickets.

    The ghost of John Lennon with support from David Bowie and Prince is not worth paying those rip off 'Ticketmaster Premium ticket' prices

    Only done 1 night in 2017, how have they grown in reputation 6/7 years later ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,995 ✭✭✭riddles


    True how many people trying to get tickets today played ColdPlay music themselves in the last 12 months 🤔 I know I didn’t



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 921 ✭✭✭Dontfadeaway


    They could’ve done 2/3 back then but for whatever reason they didn’t add a 2nd night.

    Definitely think TikTok has helped. Their shows is all over it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 539 ✭✭✭Donegal Ken


    I was at them in Amsterdam last Wednesday and got tickets again today for the Monday show in croker . Paid €275 for each for the premium tickets today.
