    Yeah, I've used klarna for a few big concert tickets, really handy option if you're good with finances.

    Make sure you install the app and sign up first, you'll need to confirm ID and address with them since it's a finance agreement.

    Got set up this morning! Was booking for Sting in Ormeau Park and thought I might as well do a trial run even though the cost was low! Straightforward enough to use.

    hi going to bill bailey on Friday, tickets say 6.30. Just wondering is this doors open time or show time?

    i have to collect someone at airport at 6. 3arena FAQ says they cant say for sure of show time.....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,518 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Ticket time is usually doors. They'll often have the actual show times up on Twitter the day of the show

    What's the difference between transferring and selling a ticket you have on the Ticketmaster app ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,518 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Selling relists the ticket on Ticketmaster, so a complete stranger could buy it (no guarantee) and TM will send you the money

    Transferring sends the ticket to another person, like if you have a mate going with you or you sell the ticket some other way



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,658 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    For a buyer, a seller offering to transfer a ticket could easily be a scam even with screenshots of the ticket.

    but if it’s a ticketmaster resale purchase ticket is legit and guaranteed

    What's the closest to a gig that the transfer option on Ticketmaster would open? I need to transfer a Simple Minds ticket to someone for next Tuesday's Belfast show and it's still not available.

    Travelmaster is gone some price now

    Whats seats should be avoided in Croke park? And which ones would ye recommend? Normally I go for the pitch, but my young lad (12) wants to see Coldplay and under 14s not allowed on the pitch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,658 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    at this stage you’ll have no choice. Just whatever comes up on resale



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 869 ✭✭✭corm500


    Oh I know that, I just dont want to buy tix in the heat of the moment, and then find out they are horrible seats

    pitch and lower two level before yellow would be best. Would upper seating at all costs

    Was looking at resale tickets before the Mitski gig on Saturday and single tickets available for 30/35/40 euro, compared to full price of 60+ euro.

    How common would this be for gigs, to be able to source a much cheaper ticket on the day through TM?

    I see 1 seat for Smashing Pumpkins for 100e, vs 350 when searching for 2 tickets



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,658 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    Mitski was a fully seated so odd single tickets happened as I’m sure people dropped out of groups etc.

    Single seated tickets harder to sell hence discount on resale as people know they don’t get it easy to sell.
    see the odd single ticket for sold out shows

    I'm taking my 9 year old daughter to The Killers in the 3Arena on Saturday night. I've never been to the 3Arena and wouldn't know Dublin the best so I'm not sure if there are taxis available nearby after? We're staying halfway between Herbert Park and the Aviva so its about a 30 minute walk according to google but I'm hoping that there might be a place to catch a bus or taxi nearish to the venue?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,658 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    get the luas to Charlemont stop or you might get a taxi on the quays if you exit right at the encore



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Traffic policing will be in place around the venue so picking up a taxi on the fly might be difficult. Look to book a taxi outside the venue or maybe walk down towards one of the nearby hotels and hang around until you can get a taxi

    There are tuk tuks also around the venue, which might be able to bring you out - but could be expensive and maybe not a great option for a younger child that time.of night

    If you can walk over the East Link bridge to Ringsend after the concert, you could have a taxi prebooked to meet you outside Ringsend & Irishtown Community Centre... I've seen taxis around there on concert nights but no idea how many are prebooked. Enioy the concert!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭bungaro79


    Thanks a million guys for the replies. I think prebooking a taxi for across the river might be our best bet alright

    Does anyone know if they use reusable cups in Malahide? I have a few leftover from Beyond the Pale that I could bring. If nothing else, they're easier to drink out of.

    I have 4 tickets for Coldplay on my ticketmaster account.

    They're for my wife and I, and another two friends. There is a good chance we will all be entering separately, or at least in two separate groups

    Is there anyway to send everyone their own ticket, or do we need to all walk in together?

    Woops, just saw that transfer only opens 48hrs before the gig. Will transfer the tickets thn

    I haven’t been to RDS Simmonscourt in years. Are their food options available at all, burger stalls etc or should I plan to eat before hand?

    Does anyone know where the accessible bathroom is in Vicar St? Is it a decent size for a power wheelchair user?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,658 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    it’s in the corridor that runs directly behind the stage, you go past the merch booth to access it.
    It’s standard size for a accessible bathroom



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,182 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    One for the American and Canadian boardsies

    How come for gigs in Baseball stadiums they don't cover the 'home base' ?
