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 dogooders, but blaming them solely for dynamic pricing, platinum packages and all those nonsense packages is not factually accurate. Artists have ultimate veto on these practices as demonstrated by the cure in recent USA tour.
ticketmaster/live nation want to earn as much as they can from shows, but assigning everything to them is stupid and inaccurate.
i actually don’t change my mind as I know exactly how they operate.
their practices naturally evolve and change though.
You have been called out numerous times on being a bluffer and you well know it!
No news, yes, they confirmed 1st week of November, but they seem to have forgotten, we are in 3rd week of November now.
Hopefully, just finalising some logistics/dates.
What about Olivia Rodrigo playing Fairview park and the Marquee this tour ?
Or only 30% of tickets being reserved for presales ?
Or Taylor struggling to sell out a third night ?
Or Damien Rice and Sigur Ros playing Sounds from a Safe Harbour ?
etc etc
Rod coming back again
Status Quo are coming back to Belfast!
Jane Weaver touring in May. Dublin, Belfast & Galway. Reliably great.
Also worth catching are Dead Men Walking with Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Dave Ruffy & Segs Jennings (Ruts) & Kirk Brandon (Spear Of Destiny) doing the best material of all those acts. The Fri night gig at the Róísín will be hopping, or whatever sort of movement the over-45s can muster.
They do Marty.
Did Taylor Swift struggle to sell a third night. I'd guess no?
Rammstein
Tickets Rammstein, Dublin | Sun, 23 Jun 2024, 17:00
She did in Croke park last time I think
The second Croke Park night was a clear case of overreaching, but the current tour is a very different prospect. There's no comparison.
Any chance of a Dublin date? Fingers crossed.
nothing but bad seats being offered for the smile
hate the way you cant choose your seat like in other venues around the world
You normally can outside the 1st hour of new tickets going on sale
Yeah I think because of lack of demand for the bad seats all the good seats are now platinum.
Interestingly, the Smile in London, was some €4 extra, compared to Dublin, both were standing.
Smaller capacity in London hence slight price difference
You can pick your row but you can't pick your seat for the majority of gigs.
The Horne Section are playing Vicar Street in October 2024.
Sea Girls
Lightning Seeds
Got tickets for The Smile, which is Thom and Jonny from Radiohead ....and also tickets for Keane ...
Kind of like chalk and cheese.
😁😁😁
I asked Francis Rossi at his Tunes and Chats show in Scarborough last month and he said no current plans
Bedshaped would be a great cover if Thom ever played it
Got tickets for the London gig instead.
Lightning seeds did a good set at glastonbury this year
Sign of the times when Thom Yorke and Co are resorting to Platinum tickets, do as we say not as we do.
The Smile didn't sell out instantly anyway. Interesting to gauge the demand given they only have 500k listeners on Spotify...
