    2 x Standing for Croker



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,534 ✭✭✭chalkitdown1


    Yep. What the hell were they thinking?! I knew it was today but assumed it was 9am as it always is. Just joined a queue with 13,000 people ahead of me.

    Feck sake.

    There's the option to pay it in installments. I thought before this it was a set 3 months thing but I was given options this time to pay it back over 6 months (and possibly over a year).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭pjordan


    That was surprisingly easy. 3 lower stand tickets for Croker. Damn expensive though! Over €500 with fees. So much for thinkin of the blue collar workin man!

    OMG might have to sell an organ or two, just over €506 for 3 Cork seated tickets with insurance

    Got through really quickly then the dreaded “oops there is a problem” message. Wouldn’t resolve to had to leave and try again and then 19000 ahead of me. Thankfully a pal got us standing for Croke park

    Easy enough to get tickets. I reckon on account of multiple venues around the country, the price and some people may have thought they were on sale at 9am.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I know stupid but I do for fear something happens etc.,



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,412 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Got in the que at 8.01 for Kilkenny assigned position '8128'. Eventually got in at 8.24 and got a ticket in 'GRASC Section C Row W'

    Happy to be sorted and roll on next May

    Fantastic, got in and went to buy tix and got the dreaded connection error and have now had to rejoin the queue!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭Tim131


    I couldn't find anywhere it said that for Belfast, the other 3 dates, yes. Not Belfast.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭musicmania


    TM shenanigans for paying for Cork. Invalid credit card details. Ah worked just fine for Croker. No matter used debit card instead.

    Roll on next May, and may the beans on toast life be worth it 🤣

    Re: the 8am on-sale time there will probably also be a lot of people on their way to work at that time. I should have been halfway through a one hour bus journey but didn't want to reply on getting a decent signal on my phone so booked the day off to be on the safe side.

    Think Belfast is entirely pitch standing, so u14s would have to be allowed on the pitch



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,412 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Had a look on the Android App and a new section appeared for Kilkenny

    'possible restricted view' €136.25-€161.25

    Used the browser myself and not sure did the app even work

    Yep, my thoughts exactly, thanks!

    Hopefully there will be a pit and hopefully I can take my daughter in with me! If anything the pit is safer and more suitable for kids!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭riddles


    Got two standing tickets for kilkenny 287€ bit pricey but I haven't been able to get tickets before.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,952 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    I got standing for Kilkenny (at 8:15) and Dublin (at 8:30).

    I do think the multiple venues have helped to spread around the demand.

    Front row upstairs (703 row A) in Cusack with vertigo warnings, but on 'view from my seat' it looks like a pretty good ticket.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,952 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    I think I was there for U2 in 2005. Perfectly fine.

    Got a pitch for Croke - the first queue joined over 17k and got kicked out when trying to get tix and had to rejoin with over 11K queue. happy out



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,147 ✭✭✭I see sheep


    There will be a pit, get there early and you'll be fine.

    The two prices for pitch, are the more expensive ones the upper 1/3 of the pitch like some of last years venues?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,350 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    Got through and could only get 3 tickets for pitch, and when I saw it was over 14's only I was out...

    I was already stretching it considering gig for a Sunday night, but felt the Boss would be an appropriate first gig for JuniorBoBandy and be worth it....

    Would seated tickets allow for a 9yo to go?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,559 ✭✭✭mossie


    4 Standing PUC, took almost an hour between getting kicked out on app and failed card transactions. Got there in the end anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,805 ✭✭✭Jaffa3000


    Kilkenny sold out according to Aiken, Cork showing low availability on Ticketmaster

    Cork: seating was booked out at 8:50, standing no issue. Forgot to login earlier and only started at 8:40 at position 8500, done at 8:55 after some looking around for tickets and checking what the restricted view means.
