Feels like the right time to start a new thread for next year's gigs.
John Mayer playing the 3Arena on 29 March 2024.
Not happening.
Yep think I'll not do the artist presales going forward. They flog the worst seats into people who are eager to buy.
I FOMO'd
Be some shock if the 3rd Croke Park artist is actually Metallica
The worst seated sections
edited:
The Smile- Artist presale allocation is still going, standing and seats block G only, still available, and there are also still 3 presale tickets for standing and seats (block A only)available
Not many venue options.
doubt they would return to Slane.
Croker and aviva are ruled out.
punchestown or marlay possibility but maybe they are too small for such a production
Just seen that Metallica have added a couple of European dates to their website. Wonder are we going to get one here?
Fairview too small. Acts don’t usually like repeating venues here on return visits so means malahide unlikely and depends on exact time of LCD routing in europe. Could see them come late June for Glastonbury etc and stay till after august bank holiday
Ooops, ATN not ATP. LCD already mentioned on ATN thread, sorry for duplication.
I see LCD Soundsystem have been announced for a festival in France on 6 July. How does that set them up for a possible visit to Ireland? Will they still be in Europe four weeks later when ATP is on or will they have a stand alone show eg in Malahide or Fairview?

Got sitting as close to centre of stage in A as I could.
Will be a great gig
Just got them in the 3 presale. €69.60 inc fees for standing.
€69.60 incl fees, standing secured, but i’d say no prob getting tickets for this one.
seated tickets were the same price, Had a look at both presales, seats available, after i bought standing, only the further away blocks A & G coming up
On the comedy gig front, it's been brilliant to see the Liberty Hall Theatre being used more and more for comedy gigs. It's such a great room for it and having a venue of that size really helps attract a lot of acts that might not be able to guarantee a full Vicar Street or Olympia.
They've some great comedians scheduled for 2024 like Mo Gilligan, Tom Davis, Jeff Arcuri, Seann Walsh, Viggo Venn, Ed Byrne (who's amazing show was a highlight of my Fringe this year) and others.
Was checking Amsterdam and it's from 75, saved a tenner I guess.
Ticket price, was listed on, TM a few hours after it was announced on Monday morning
"From €61.85"
So 70 quid with fees
That's from https://3arena.ie/events/the-smile
Anybody know what the ticket price for the smile is.
Always find it frustrating that these things aren't known ahead of time unless it's a huge act.
Looking forward to picking up the Smile tickets tomorrow.
New song isn't hitting me but I'm sure it'll be a grower
Just the year so to see them in Galway!
Shite
Was hoping they might play Mad Cool in Madrid but thats in July 😔
Peter Hook and the Light next November
Presale this Wednesday, general sale Friday
Tool just announced its EU tour but no Dublin…
I go for standing for almost everything, but on those rare occasions i went for seats, i found that the3 Presale have the worst choice, Promoter presale, a bit better, and artist presale, better again.
3 presale is apparently 10 % of total tickets, so, for a 13,000 capacity 3 arena standing gig, its not that many, if people are buying 2 and 4 per purchase, and usually means seats are not great, as so few available.
However, 3 presale & promoter presales are very handy for standing, which is why I use them regularly.
Cool, cheers
They all have a mix, but as promoter and artist have much more so therefore more bad ones
Sorry mate, I meant best seats, not number (allocation) of them.
3 mobile will have the least available. Artist and MCD allocation is changed throughout pre sale window with more blocks/rows being added to meet demand
So got presale for all of these. In everyone's experience who has the best allocation of seats? From Three, MCD or artist.
Or is it entirely random each time.
Looks like only the Glasgow gig, is the only fully seated gig on the Ireland/Uk tour, allthough Alexandria Palace is tbc, but thats always standing as far as i know.
