Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

Think they will have a special guest tonight as its the last show?

heard people just were walking in over the weekend, security is hardly that lax?

might have been picked up on now judging by the social media today.

Very simple answer to that: I go to a lot of gigs and festivals and have been converted to an act on many occasions after seeing them live when previously I wouldn't have given a toss. History of the Eagles at 3Arena in 2014 is the best concert I've ever been at and I didn't care for any of their songs beforehand.

A work colleague kept raving how amazing Coldplay were live and I heard them note for note from my garden on Thursday so I fought to get a ticket for Friday. It was "grand". A lot of unnecessary bells and whistles though and the songs didn't seem to be any more powerful than the studio recordings which I expected.

It's in the zone of Robbie Williams/Take That/Harry Styles stadium concerts rather than the heavier acts and if that's your thing it certainly delivers.

Hi folks - just wondering out of curiosity —> Did anyone who has been in Pitch A or B get their tickets through the Genera Sale, or did these seem to be kept for the presale? I only ask, as I was fortunate enough to get mine (for Sunday night) through the original artist presale and could NOT believe my luck at how close to action this location felt. It’s a de facto golden circle , I think . An absolute privilege to have been at the show anyway . But as stated, I just can’t get over being so close for the mere price of €111 (before fees I think) . So yeah, was that the trick then - that presale people got rewarded with the ‘front ‘ standing tickets? Sorry if any of the above sounds w@nky or braggy!! lol.

Had early entry pair of tickets, missed out on presale, 250 each. Pitch B.

Looked up pitch B on Gigsberg the next day and a pair were going for nearly 3k so I don't feel too hard done by. The hard part is getting tickets in the first place but I'm not sure what the solution is in terms of fairness. There were people in that stadium that paid a reasonable amount for tickets, sat or stood beside some who paid obscene amounts.

I know people who paid 600 for 'premium tickets', and they couldn't have been further from the stage😅

Extorted for the tickets, then robbed again for food and drinks. I love Coldplay and I had a great time but my God it would be nice to go to a reasonably priced concert of any artist and pay for a drink that is actually full, not half full watered down piss and nearly 20 quid for a scaldy burger and a few chips. But I think I've more chance of getting a time machine back to simpler, less greedy times.

I was 4300th in the presale queue, got to the front and Ticketmaster crashed. Paid €300 for a resale early entry pitch ticket 2 months ago which is the only time I saw a pitch ticket for sale, and I've been checking regularly for the past year. Most resale tickets which went up that I saw for for the €400+ VIP packages to be seated far back in the stands. You got very lucky. In 2017 I had your ticket (general entry pitch ticket) which I paid €90 in person from the soundest guy off Adverts, and I got equally as close to the stage then as a result. It is luck of the draw amongst Ticketmaster's ever growing greed for charging for tickets.

I got 2 standing last August after someone posted on this thread that there were standing tickets available on TM. They were €111 each inc fees. They ended up being Pitch B. It’s for tonight’s gig and my wife and daughter are at it, they just sent me photos and they’re unbelievable close to the stage.

On Friday night I saw a good few legging it past the permitter security, and then heard the lady at the turnstile saying they were having problems with people pushing through as they let ticketed customers through the stiles. I'm not a frequent Croke Park goer, but I got the sense the locals have the security weaknesses well sussed!

This (parking at Connolly station car park, quote didn't work) ended up working very well. Would have left near last as had to pick up some merch, got to the car and drove straight out, across the liffey. No traffic!

That was amazing and hearing 'In My Place' made it more special

Only after leaving the bus park about 5 mins ago. Don't think I'd be rushing for the bus service again

What a concert. Loved it from start to finish. Getting off the pitch at the end was hairy but once out on the road it was grand. Opted for the long trot back to the car but still made the port tunnel before it closed. I was like Cinderella getting home. Couldn’t sleep until 2am though. Still buzzing.

Up for work at 7am has been the killer. Must book the day off following big gigs in future.

Be interesting to see where the residency is next year. I’d consider a wee bit of travel for one of their shows!

spoke to one of the crew in the pub after fri night and he seemed to think would be UK only, mentioned wembley and hull
