    Think you got this free with some Golden Discs or newspaper deal… savage anyway

    May both concerts be littered with empty bot seats and may the heavens split open like a hairy axe wound.


    Failing that, may they both kill each other in Cardiff.

    Amen.

    Quite annoying seeing so many Americans saying they have tickets for the Irish shows. And no doubt lots of English fans attending too. Ticketmaster really messed up by selling the Irish dates an hour before the UK ones. With so much demand I reckon they have to announce more Croke Park dates. A concert account on Instagram, who's been very reliable before with it comes to insider info, reckon they'll announce two more Dublin dates either during the week or by next Saturday. I'll hope for Presale this time if true!

    Ive a feeling they will be a huge let down. Extra dates won't sell out with that pricing, and would only create further anger if folks paying less than the original dates. Was content that I'd pick up tickets next year as people shift then due to circumstances but wouldn't be paying any of those prices for them. Liam was great in Thomond but not €153+ great 😃

    Saturday date is still allowing you to search but Sunday not. Are tickets still popping up for anyone?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭drury..


    Thread full of posters driving the demand while complaining about the price

    Go figure

    Not a hope.

    You don't mess with concert promoters in Ireland and get away with it.

    This platform knows this only too well.

    Glazers Out!

    they may not have space to add more dates

    Like it sucks, but people miss out on tickets, it happens. Demand was simply insane



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,179 ✭✭✭eggy81


    you’d forget how much they’d absolutely rock a place in their pomp. Hope they can recapture that form next year.

    When a business has a monopoly in any market it is the responsibility of a regulator or government to act. TicketMaster and MCD effectively have a monolopoly in ticket sales and promotion respectively.

    Do we think Liam and Noel will stand before an Oireachtas committee on their gigs pricing 😆

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World

    Do Oasis themselves not take any of the blame here?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭only_a_newbie


    well my wife can no longer buy tickets on Ticketmaster… an absolute fiasco trying to get tickets this morning with TM thinking she is a bot and her account is now suspended. She can't even search for tickets, thank god she saved her and my daughters tickets to Wicked to her wallet last week or she'd be unable to access them.

    where does she go from here???

    €1033 for 2 seated, does that include fees? I think that's the most expensive I've seen, fair play if they can afford it

    The demand is high, I cannot think of another band reunion that was so long in the making, every year it was talked about and now finally happening, this year Oasis back together and CM Punk back in WWE, who had these on a bingo list

    Do we know if they are releasing anything, new song or previous unreleased song?

    people have had tickets cancelled today in similar enough circumstances. So she needs to get an answer on those tickets asap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,706 ✭✭✭hold my beer


    Did many/any get standing tickets at 127 in the presale? Someone saying they did on ATN thread. I thought all standing were 179.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,589 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    They don't have a monopoly on promotion. Aiken also exist.

    All Ticketmaster do is sell tickets at the request of the artist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 82 ✭✭jazz_jazz


    I got standing last night for 176.75 including booking fee

    The media reports the other day quoted a specific amount that N&L would earn from the shows (£95M or something like that). That suggests to me that their cut of the takings is set in stone and that it is MCD/TM who is benefiting from the dynamic pricing. But maybe that’s an incorrect interpretation on my part.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,706 ✭✭✭hold my beer


    Sory yeah it was 177. Thought all standing tickets were that.

    Moany McMoan! So what if other nationalities got tickets to find in Ireland. Jees, you'd swear is Irish were not allowed to see gigs in other countries.

    I'd recommend it, works out much cheaper & you get a trip somewhere else😁



  • Site Banned Posts: 12,922 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    Yawn. ticketmaster sell tickets, they don't set the prices or amount of tickets



  • Site Banned Posts: 12,922 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    Yep, including fees. Too rich for nosebleed tickets for me anyway! Good luck to whomever got them 😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,689 ✭✭✭10000maniacs


    It's not Ticketmaster who press the "in demand pricing" button, it's the band themselves. Their decision. A Gallagher money grab.

    It's like a live auction to maximize revenue.

    I'm out, but was out from the start anyway.

    Ya I see what your saying but couldn't they live a comfortable life on 90 million instead? It's like a soccer player demanding 250k a week when he's offered 200k a week and the club say sorry fans we have to increase ticket prices to cover all the wages. Surely if those numbers are correct it must be them demanding the 95m.

    The commentary today seems to be all about how ticketmaster are screwing people.

    Now ticketmaster have a lot to answer for from a technical point of view. Being in queues and getting to the top of the queue and then having it crash, having their servers being unable to cope, that's on them. Do better ticketmaster.

    But the underlying anger seems to be about the price, and the random increased prices (this surge pricing). This is for Oasis to own. They would have agreed a price for tickets and would have agreed for the surge pricing too; they elected to make more money knowing that the market would be there. Whether it's right or wrong is another question, but it's up to them to own it.

    I've seen a clip loads of times of Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl being amazed thst Madonna was charging like $50 for tickets when they charged something like $15. I'm guessing Dave Grohl today also charges crazy prices (I haven't seen how much Foos charge). They need to make money to survive, but they can decide whether they want to make some money or more money. Which is fine, they're entitled to it. But they should be asked about it.

    At the Coldplay gig on Thursday Chris Martin thanked people for coming and acknowledged how much of a pain it can be to get to gig. I don't know how much my ticket was (it was a gift), but I'd imagine they also could have charged less and still made a tidy profit.
