Starting a thread for 2025 gigs as they'll likely start rolling in.
I'll arbitrarily throw in Rob Beckett playing the Olympia on the 26th September 2025 which went on sale today.
is toutless down?
Unless Trump halts it they're going to be broken up. They have no hope of winning the case. What the ramifications are we won't know for 2/3 years but it'll definitely open them up to greater competition at home and internationally. Their near-monopolistic era is close to the end and you've got to assume that they're grabbing as much as they can before they take a big hit.
The problem is the only resale standing tickets aren't available as soon as you click in.
I messaged TM and got back below: "Standing tickets, also known as General Admission (GA) Resale tickets, show as Best Available on our site. This means only one GA ticket will show at a time, and as tickets sell the system will then show the next Best Available ticket on our site.
You can help increase the chances your tickets will sell sooner by creating a shareable link direct to your tickets via the order in your account. Thanks."
Just wanna say and maybe it's obvious to all , but ive been going to a lot of gigs lately via adverts.ie on the day of or couple of days before. Generally getting 30-60% off cost price. Prob only suits dubs planning wise. Revolut and ticketmaster transfer only takes minutes. Just look at feedback and member since as well. If they are a member 10 years and have positive feedback I don't think they are in the long game to scam you of your 100 quid. Haven't been burned yet probably have gotten 15 gigs or so out of it. Even a few light sell outs you'll get cheap tickets. Just doesn't work for the really in demand gigs , but the fact there's such a glut of gigs these really in demand ones are few and far between.
The resale portal has been a bit of a **** show this past week. I can't make Alanis Morrisette in Belfast at the end of the month so put them up for resale below face value and they aren't showing. There is very little resale for that gig so it noticable they aren't listed.
Not sure what is going on
Never seen them live but I feel they're probably more suited for the arenas and not big fields sound wise.
Suppose it's their first run of festival headliners, I remember seeing the killers headline oxegen in 07 and were utter crap/flat but clearly improved as time went on.
Anyone else having issues with tickets you've put up for resale on Ticketmaster and getting confirmation for not appearing in searches?
As I said to my mates, not even Trent wanted to risk northside Dublin after dark
Yeah I wasn't expecting that or for the support to become part of the middle act of the show, was just class all around and done by 10pm no messing around, they packed a lot in for 1hr 20ish
The whole starting right on the last beat of the support was class
Nine inch nails were fxcking amazing, that production was unbelievable thought for the first night of the tour it was class and great to not have anything spoilt beforehand
Probably because they're shite live.
A few saying it was so flat
Because they're shite live?
A lot of mixed reactions to Sleep Tokens headline slot at Download last night
yeah at most they will be legally separated but no change to their charges or tactics
I admire your optimism re TM/LN. Can't see a positive outcome for the fans myself but i hope you're right.
they always close ticket sales a few hours before doors. Usually around 5pm
The smaller venues also charge less. Father John Misty at Leisureland was €51 (incl fees) via the Roisín Dubh who promoted it. €65 (incl fees) for the same gig on TM. Collins Barracks gig for him is €68. A TM tax AND a Capital City tax. Not unusual to see a €10 to €25 discrepancy in prices for acts playing both Dublin and Galway.
Thankfully there's some light on the horizon when TM and LN get split up after the US Department of Justice anti-trust case that they've no chance of winning. Early 2027 I'd guess. In the meantime avoid them when you can. Easy for me to say as LN have no foothold in Galway and only for some Summer stuff in Limerick. I imagine Cork is quite similar but alas there's a stranglehold on any of the larger Dublin gigs and that won't changed until they finally get shafted in court. I'd welcome some EU intervention also but possibly bigger fish to fry at present.
Anyone know when Ticketmaster close sales ahead of a gig tonight?
Some decent NIN resale tickets popping up
MCD posted on their story there 8pm as well, we shall see sure
Yeah same, or at least before 8 anyway.
Yes I would expect possibly 8.30 but I'm taking no chances,will go in for 7.30.
Nothing we haven't talked about in here before, no big revelations but a desperately depressing article nonetheless. Keep going to those small gigs folks.
I'll give benefit of the doubt, last time I went to a gig that was 8pm stage time the band started 40 mins later.
Is someone keeping a list of these statements?
Coming up from Cork earlier stage time suits us, out by 10:30pm and on the road home again, nothing worse than gigs over by 11 in the car and off by 11:30pm and port tunnels closed, adds another hour to a long journey
LLeast 8pm isn't a typo the other day bring it on. Home for most of the back 9 of the US Open too, how very rock and/or roll
DME productions posted the stage times for NiN there
