Well never thought id see the day..i know its that rag reporting it but their generally right on these kinda things. I guess thats our multiple nights in Croke Park band sorted for next Summer then✌
I'd say for a lot, it is nostalgia reasons and trying to recapture some happiness.
I just had a look at StubHub, the prices listed there are off the charts.
We have the same standing tickets in a lottery being sold here at massive markups. Sell them at the same price for everyone or don't tour.
Yep, that would be great alright. I'd be worried now that what we've seen today will become the norm from now on, especially if the gigs continue to sell out.
Its already is the norm
it’s the norm for a handful of shows a year out of thousands put on here
Finally got in for Dublin but no tickets left. Ah well.
If they do more dates it will still be hard to get tickets anyways.
After this morning’s ABSOLUTE Sh1teshow of a mess and a prime example of “how Not to sell tickets to a gig in Croke park” I am reposting my plea to Oasis to PLEASE hold a free public concert on the site of Knock Airport.
And with voluntary charity contributions to a range of worthwhile good charities - not ones drowning in bureaucracy
Please everyone get behind my idea so that the promoter will have to start engaging seriously with us.
Shameful stuff. Paul Heaton is somewhere shaking his head sadly. Are we ever going to reach a point where we just tell them all to **** off?
No one is forcing them to hold it in Croke Park.
Glad. Ticketmaster are crooks.
I think my experiences trying to get Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Oasis tickets has put me right off. I don't think I'll bother when the next big one comes up.
Sure why wouldn't be the norm when the market is there for it. There's people, many of them, who have shelledout close to 200 euro for 'regular tickets' and plenty who have gone all in on two and a half times that..these people seemed damned happy to have them too.
A portion will go, take the phones out and share the videos and totally miss the point of being there. There's been a frenzy for these gigs but let's not stop there.
The last few years post COVID (although it was there pre COVID as well, has seen Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, Coldplay and god knows how many more that I haven't been aware of selling tickets with similar tactics. But people seem to be happy to pay it. More power to them but you aren't gonna change the companies behaviour if there's still demand. I know artists need to tour nowadays as apparently there isn't much money in downloads but jaysus the artists I have mentioned above ain't short of coin!
Obligatory back in my day...... delighted to have seen so many good bands back in the nineties and early naughties at prices that weren't extortionate but the market is what it is now. I'll be putting the 1700 bucks that could have been spent on 4 tickets this morning(the only option available to me) onto some smaller, perhaps more local gigs and perhaps stuff like Rockathon mentioned earlier and stick the other grand into the holiday fund.
I honestly can't blame them. Whip up a bit of hysteria and make millions.
It's the fans willing to pay extortionate money and having ridiculous FOMO that are fault. All economic theory based on rational decision making and thats not what I have seen today.
A friend, constantly whining about money has paid almost 2000 for 4 tickets, lifelong megafan to be fair but that's just a bad bad decision. Won't be seen for months now.
I see a lot of moaning, but does anyone actually have a solution? The value of the tickets are what people are willing to pay. I'm not sure I see much wrong.
It wouldn't be a Liam and Noel gig if there wasn't complete chaos and we're still 12 months away.
Only solution is people not to pay it. Which won't happen.
Regulation won't even work as that just drives tout sites and private touting and scamming.
Splitting Ticketmaster monopoly wouldn't work either, it's the band and promoters driving prices
Do what Garth Brooks done, set price for all tickets and of course added more dates
Bring back queuing for tickets. Works much better
250 Disabled seats in Croke Park
- however unlike GAA matches for Gigs at least you have to show some verification of disability within a certain timeframe after purchasing the ticket.
So no chancers will end up them, if that gives you any comfort.
Whos willing to pay it though.Everyone I know said that they wouldn't pay 400 euro for a ticket.
The mass of people wouldn't be willing to pay it.
People at the extreme end, millionaires, wealthy sportsplayers etc they would be willing to pay 400 euro for a ticket.
But there should be more cheaper tickets for the masses
There'll be plenty of tickets available closer to the gig,especially if more dates are added.
There's posters here that paid it. One of my friends paid it. All mugs.
How do you not see much wrong, when thousands of people are disappointed
and
"Ticketmaster Oasis total shambles"
Is a top news story on news sites today
The system is not working.
Went to work for a few hours and left browser open. Just got home and opened computer. Got in, but no tickets left for Sat. Same for Sun. Selected option for alternate dates and back in the queue for the queue. Forget it.
I agree. You just haven't a hope in hell on seeing any of them. Why even try when the disappointment is huge.
The same number of people wpould be disappointed anyway. There were only a certain number of tickets available. That's not Ticketmaster's fault
And they'll probably fall out with each other again, and cancel the concert :)
I don't see many if any people complaining about the pre-sale process maybe that's the solution on an expanded level?
Croke Park tickets getting swamped by the British, people wasting hours of their time this morning with queues dropping at snail pace levels and dynamic gouging by Ticketmaster is not an acceptable way to sell tickets in 2024
It's working fine for the 170,000 people who got tickets.
The vast majority of people were always going to be disappointed though.
If the system wasnt working then the shows wouldnt sell out. But they did, almost immediately. So the system is working perfectly.
You just dont like it, and they don't care.
