Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

I was offered this during the presale at 5.30pm and turned it down to be paying €260 for an upper tier ticket plus charges

A lot of people here seem to think increased, market driven prices are acceptable, with one poster going as far to say we are underpaying for gigs.

I wonder if I was to pick up a couple of tickets on the many upcoming ticket drops for face value and sell them for an inflated price which I deem fair and ethical, such as 390e a piece, plus my handing and delivering and mandatory toilet paper gift wrap fee.. Would there be a issue with the IDIOTS defending this absolutely heinous behaviour!?

You'd almost wonder if there is there a lawsuit there somewhere. This is no more than a dirty loophole which should be closed by the government.

Granted, Ticketmaster and the band are entitled to sell them for whatever they want to sell them for. But it completely undermines the spirit of the law.

Not to mention there will still be plenty of these touted for higher than asking price.

There was Upper Hogan Tickets last night available. Row C. The exact same row and seats for both Sunday and Monday night.

€390 a pop each.

Interesting.

Works out a hell of a lot cheaper either way.

That bit where Martin stops A Sky Full of Stars and asks people to put away their phones is wearing thin now, he seems to do it every bloody night.

I'm sure he was up to the same stunt on the 2017 tour.

They are still better value than those Platinum tickets

Jesus that's mad

Maybe a few added charges going to Croke Park or something as well as usual Ticketmaster fees

Premium section in Croker is second up from the lower (section 4). Seats are sold in 3-5 year blocks to GAA fans and they're given the option to buy concert tickets. It's sold as one of the perks!! The option to buy 220 quid tickets to seats that don't work all that well for concerts

It's funny reading some posts giving out about Coldplay or CM in particular. Their concerts are a show, an experience, and there's only so much an act can do to get a crowd involved. So if he asks the crowd to put their phones away, or says something he has said a thousand times before, so what?

I've seen Riverdance before, and guess what? They do the same dancing at every single show. Unbelievable 😅

As long as acts have been performing, they've been telling that particular crowd that their nations fan's are the best in the world, and so be it. Who cares? I've been to other gigs where the act comes on, sings their songs, and bolts. I'd take Coldplay every time.

I'm all for giving out about the prices, but if ye don't like the band or their show, don't go 🤷‍♂️

€€€ talks

Axl Rose fucked off in 2010 after some gimp through a bottle on stage at him in Dublin but he was back 2 years later all smiles

A bit early in the AM for fishing, but go on. All good, thanks for asking. What are the required number of posts that warrant being "vexed" about things?

It's a show, repetitive? Absolutely, but it seems to work for them. Not vexed, if you read my post you would see I found some posts funny, and made an observation about a certain individual who could've ruined a concert by throwing a bottle and striking a band member.

Has anyone had a luck recently loggin in and finding some tickets at random times?
