    Will extra tickets become available nearer the time. I saw on other threads tkts becoming available for Edinburgh you need code. I have a code keep checking but nothing up yet. Just saw a post up from that concert page looking for a code for someone whose daughter is sick someone gave a code and managed to get two tickets - so suss as I’ve been checking all morning and nothing there.

    yes there will be as it hasn’t sold out for every night. Also resale tickets will be available but both of these will go in seconds I imagine



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭Styles12


    Thanks for reply



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭mel123


    if you got a presale code do we still need to enter it when looking for tickets?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,199 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Ticketmaster will email you when they are releasing extra tickets if you have a code.

    It will likely be the week of the gigs.

    That concert page is a scammer.

    honestly doubt ticketmaster will email people. They will just quietly turn off code option and release a bunch of tickets



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,199 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    No, its almot certain codes will be required.

    Every EU date has required codes to buy for the production drops, its standard Swift policy.

    No code, you cant buy.

    Lisbon and Madrid did open it up to general sale on the day of the event, but only after stock was sitting there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭HelpImAlive


    In all other cities, they’ve taken new people off the waitlist and sent them codes for the sale so I reckon the same will happen here.

    This meant that anyone with existing codes were excluded from the sale



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 629 ✭✭✭dohboy


    Will you need to have a code if someone is transferring you a ticket?

    Can you transfer a resale ticket to a friend?

    I know you can't resell a resale ticket



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 629 ✭✭✭dohboy


    You can transfer to anyone with a Ticketmaster account afaik, although ticket transfer for these shows hasn't opened yet. Here's what Toutless is saying:

    > People have told us that Ticketmaster have confirmed transfer will be available for this event, contradicting previous communications, but we've no way of verifying that. Our advice is not to send payment until it is confirmed transfer is available.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,199 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Unused Existing codes will still be valid as well as new ones given to people taken off the waitlist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,176 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    It wouldn't be much comfort to you when turned away on the night, but if they were foolish enough to refuse access because you're 23 and not 25, you'd be able to take them for a few grand on an age discrimination case.

    Adults are adults, whether they're 18 or 23 or 25. It is illegal to discriminate based on age of adults



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭Unrealistic


    But they wouldn't be discriminating against an adult. If it was enforced it would a case of you (23 year old) can come in but your 13 year old cousin cannot come in because she is not accompanied by someone over 25. The 13 year old would be the one being denied entry and I don't think she would be able to take an age discrimination case.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,063 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    remind me to avoid taking legal advice from you.
    The 23 year old is not being discriminated against. They are free to go to concert uni cumbered, the issue is that the venue, garda and promoters for health and safety reasons do not allow under 16’s to attend unsupervised and they require a guardian 25 or older.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,176 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    The 23 year old could take a case that she was discriminated against by not letting her bring the 13 year old.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,176 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    They're not free to bring their 13 year old with them, as a 25 year old would be. They are being treated differently based on age.

    Venue, Gardai, promoters, H&S don't get to ignore Equal Status Acts when it suits them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,553 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    You're talking absolute nonsense.

    The Government published Code of Practice for Safety at Indoor Concerts states

    "For reasons of safety, it may not be appropriate to allow children to attend an indoor concert. In general, where children under the age of 14 are admitted, they should be accommodated in fixed seating and accompanied by a parent or other adult guardian.

    The particular risks associated with the attendance of children should be carefully considered before an event is scheduled and the suitability of events for children and the requirement to be accompanied by a parent or guardian should be clearly advertised in advance."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,176 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    There's nothing in what you quoted about the age of the adult guardian. An 18 year old is an adult and can be an adult guardian. They can vote, get married, have children, drive - but they can't be trusted to take their niece to a gig for a night out?

    the equal status has exempts under 18’s from the act. Took me two seconds to find it. So venues are perfectly entitled to require teenagers to have adult supervison. Furthermore these venues are licensed premises and the Garda could very easily require no teenagers allowed at all after the set hours.
    the 23 year old is not being discriminated against. They are free to attend the concert.


    (3) Treating a person who has not attained the age of 18 years less favourably or more favourably than another, whatever that other person's age, shall not be regarded as discrimination on the age ground

    Does anyone know why there are tickets on Viagogo (Official Ticketmaster tout site) for the UK and some of the Europe dates but absolutely none available for Ireland?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,199 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Ask Noel Rock that

    The ironic thing is that prices for tickets on there were well under 100 euro for all the European dates so far it seems, as there were so many tickets on there.

    So you could pick up a cheap ticket.

    It wont happen for Dublin unfortunately which is a pity for fans.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,553 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Illegal to resell tickets in Ireland at more than 110% of their cost. So Irish Gigs aren't touched anymore by Viagogo etc.

    That said, it's absolutely fine (and why wouldn't it be) for Ticketmaster to charge you 400% of the face value for a ticket.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,176 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    I've addressed this twice already. Have you not been paying attention?
    Yes, the venue is permitted to require adult supervision for an under-18 attending.
    No, the venue is NOT permitted to require that adult to be 25, and not 23 or not 18. An adult is an adult. The 23 year old who posted here is being discriminated against by not be allowed to bring their 13 year old niece. They are being treated differently to a 25 year old adult.
    From IHREC;

    The ‘age ground’ - Discrimination on the ‘age ground’ occurs where there is less favourable treatment of one person compared with another person because they are of different ages.
    ‘Age’ applies to people over 18 years of age, except for the provision of car insurance to licensed drivers under that age.

    Which bit don't you understand?

    Ticketmaster can do as they please.

    The 110% cap has done nothing to make it easier or cheaper for consumers to get tickets for big events.

    All its done is make more money for Ticketmaster and increase fraud.

    Interesting, I had heard of some legislation to combat touting but like you said Ticketmaster just got around that by charging over the odds for "Platinum/VIP tickets"! I guess it's good that overpriced tickets aren't being sold on Viagogo for Irish gigs but on the other hand for the people that are absolutely desperate for tickets it's frustrating to see that at least it's possible to buy Taylor Swift tickets in other countries. I'm guessing as well no codes are necessary for Viagogo tickets as Ticketmaster are charging a huge premium for these tickets, different rules for different tickets!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,199 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    That wasnt the purpose of the legislation.

    It wasnt to make rich artists even more money and make Ticketmaster more money.

    it was flagged prior to legislation as benefit that only those involved in sports/events would see the money from ticket sales and that 3rd parties aka touts would not longer see a penny. It was a known side effect that if touting became illegal that money that touts obtained would in part go back to artists in other means
