Entered the queue in the 300s for Cork. Got 2 standing so happy out

swarmberg · 06-11-2023 09:16AM

Rejoined Croke Park Queue out of interest and only 18k in it.

I'm a big fan, missed out on the RDS last year and want to go next year but the ticket prices are insane. One wonders if he has over-estimated demand and over-priced the tickets this time.

Got two tickets for Cork - delighted. Block 403, not the best seats but I'm still happy.

Shakyfan · 06-11-2023 09:18AM

That was painless! Belfast queue moved really quickly, I was through and tickets paid for in around 8 minutes (and that was going through the Klarno option as well). Slight panic pricewise as the tickets were coming up at £120 but the fees were a reasonable £6 so the price quoted beforehand was correct.

Seems people have been caught out by the 8am sale rather than 9am….oh well

Belfast Rock City.

AndyBoBandy · 06-11-2023 09:19AM

Im in the queue (18k in front of me), but I’m genuinely not even sure if I want tickets….. it’s a lot of money (I’d be after 3)

Was also considering this being my sons first ever gig at the tender age of 9 (at time of gig), but given it’s a Sunday night gig, I’m just not so overly enthusiastic about it all….

Tauriel · 06-11-2023 09:19AM

2 x seated in Cork secured for an eye watering €338

swarmberg · 06-11-2023 09:21AM

There's no Queue at all for Belfast.

musicmania · 06-11-2023 09:21AM

Seat got for Croker. At number 4832 for Cork. Want standing for this one. Only sitting in Croker cos I've Bryan Adams standing 2 days later, and my decrepit body would give out if I pushed it that far. Beans on toast life now 🤣

2 x Standing for Croker

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).

pjordan · 06-11-2023 09:27AM

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!

JP Liz V1 · 06-11-2023 09:28AM

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

polydactyl · 06-11-2023 09:30AM

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

Who buys insurance?!

notahappycamper · 06-11-2023 09:36AM

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.

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

PTH2009 · 06-11-2023 09:37AM

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

Red Wolf · 06-11-2023 09:37AM

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

Tim131 · 06-11-2023 09:38AM

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

musicmania · 06-11-2023 09:40AM

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 🤣

Shakyfan · 06-11-2023 09:40AM

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.
