Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

I am Northsider lol. Anyway it takes a special type of sad act to come onto a group about an artist they hate. I hope your life improves.

A lot of people have eclectic tastes it’s not particularly unusual or edgy. But to come on to a thread about a band who you hate is juvenile.

is there even a way to buy tickets for these Coldplay concerts in Ireland yet? Basically what are the options for existing ticket holders to transfer/sell them to others if they can’t go themselves?

What's odd is poster's who hate Coldplay posting in a thread about coldplay. Don't you have real rock music thread you can go post on?

Music resonates with people, it's why 200,000 people collectively sang Coldplay last night at Glastonbury. There are real people behind these concertgoers. In a personal experience, my mum died 2 months ago at the age of 62 after years of illness, but she was always at concerts despite how ill she was. Memories and merch give meaning to the concerts. I have a signed Phil Coulter vinyl from her last ever concert which now has huge sentimental value, I have a personalised video from Chris De Burgh which he sent to me when she was on her deathbed, in which he sang her favourite song, and I will have the memories of all the concerts and shows I went with her which I can reflect on. It is these moments and memories which give a true perspective on music, and whether or not you like the artist, the music can be really powerful for many reasons. My mum and I both tried unsuccessfully for Coldplay and Taylor Swift tickets. Songs like Fix You, and Soon You'll Get Better just hit differently when you're going through grief. So before you criticise and insult people's music tastes, take a big step back and realise that music of different genres resonates with people for many different reasons and if people enjoy the music, then let them enjoy it without putting them down.

Brilliant post

A few examples from my own experience, Garth Brooks announced the 2014 Croke Park concerts the day my mother was buried and it was devastating when they were cancelled later that year (parties from either side of the argument had flaws etc) and 2022 made up for it in a big way for me personally. Missing Hella Mega in 2022 because of Covid (the guidance for summer 2022 was all over the place in parts) was frustrating but made up for it this year seeing both Weezer and Green Day

Music/gigs a very small thing in life but it's the memories of the days that remain with you. The pints, the atmosphere around the area and the excitement of the it all .

yeah fingers crossed! In fairness I’ve seen the odd one pop up on TM but they’ve been very pricey so far and only singular. But most people do resale when plans change and that’s obviously gonna be short notice I guess

Hi all. Myself and the missus have tickets in section 702, Row F. Anyone have any idea what the view would be like? Good/bad/average? Just wondering if I should be on the lookout for better seats.

Thanks for that. Have actually checked this site prior to posting my query 😄

Just in the fear that we may be too high and squashed into the corner of the stadium - don't want to be caught out with only a side view of the stage, and not of Chris Martin and his antics.

Last time Coldplay were in Dublin, we had seats in the Upper Davin. Those seats were nice; they were very central but a bit far away. Amazing atmosphere & show none the less though!

I'd imagine the week before the gig it'll be the same craic as Taylor Swift were you can't get in a queue to but tickets with a code? So heads up for that. I don't what way you get the codes I'd imagine it's like presale where you apply?

I think it's at the time of just keep regularly checking for tickets but also using common sense. A resale ticket came up this afternoon, I could have bought it, but I really don't feel comfortable paying €400 for a ticket. Someone did though because it was gone a few minutes later.

The issue with buying resale is you then can't resale that ticket, you can only transfer it to someone. And I didn't want to be stuck with a €400 ticket if a better and/or cheaper ticket came along on Ticketmaster.
