Sweet i got my 2

Firstly, I got my 2...

Read a few interesting comments, there.... I got mine easily, cos I work in a music shop with a ticketmaster terminal... I just printed my own while people were paying for theirs.... cheeky or what....?!?

Shops (the one Im in, at least) dont get an allocation and we are unable to access ANY tickets until the actual on sale time. In theory, one shop could sell all 10,000 tickets.... but it of course doesnt work like that. Im led to believe that its as though there is a 'pool' of tickets and everyone (outlets, web, phonelines.. the lot) all take from this pool. That is how/why events sell out so quickly.

Also, The Boss is NOTORIOUS for only playing one night. Yes, he could probably sell out a month or two's worth of shows in Croker, but he usually sticks to the 'one night only' thing....

Plus, The Stones sold out the Point in 2 1/2 minutes in 2003. The only other thing to sell out as quick was.... ahem..... a WWE event there last year....

As for queueing at a shop ... Ticketmaster in Jervis center was a complete joke. Saw about 6 groups of people coming away with tickets when the queue finally started moving at about 9.10. The next thing the security guard was telling us they were all sold out.

It's just not fair to the fans - lots of people will end paying over the odds for a scalper ticket. Can't see why he only plays one night here - they must know what the album sales are like in Ireland.

Hhmpphh.

Well. happy trails to you trur bruce fans who got tickets, enjoy.

No such luck here, dammit. Same story as many, online at nine, etc. Waited for 10 mins then had to go to work with a puss on me. Might suss out Europe, could be diff experience.

Work colleague said I might be only a cancelled babysitter away from going if I put word out.

PLEEEEEZZZZZ

how do these assholes have "tickets in hand" already when they haven't even been sent out yet?

Hmmm it's the way it goes, they just know people on the inside, and they do deals, but they cut down on them in London

when people ordered with credit cards, there did a certain scheme so they would have to proove they wanted them or they had to proove who they were, either way 100's of tickets got declined from possible '' touts '' well it worked in London,

but i didn't realise there were so many Bruce fans on boards, if i hear of any going on sale i'll get back here, for cost price obviously, wouldn't rob a Brucie fan

Yeah, there's always people with tickets who have to cancel at the last minute due to an emergency or something like that.

redtom · 09-04-2006 06:26PM

ok, well bags I the first ticket that becomes available via this board then!

Cremated · 10-04-2006 04:10PM

Well they might add in another few hundred tickets closer to the date, they did with some gigs there?...

whatsupdoc? · 10-04-2006 04:18PM

But would you wait that long on the off chance of getting one?

Cremated · 10-04-2006 05:07PM

Try www.bosstime.net it's full of the nicest Bruce fans out there, and there is a chance someone up there could get one going free,

also pop in and say hey

it's a top Bruce forum...

As indicated above, there's NO chance of a second gig, however he's likely to be back next year.....maybe even with the E-Street band if rumours are true.

This is basically a promotional Euro tour, like he did with the Rising, before doing a more extensive US tour, then he comes back to Europe for more dates. Dublin wasn't included in the initial Rising Euro tour, but he came to the RDS for the 2nd Euro leg.

As with everything Bruce, expect changes.....

Anyway, I'm not sure non-Bruce die-hards will like the new album

Well there is rumour Clarence has had to take it easy for health reasons, but hope it's not true

would love to see the E-Street-Band, love to see Miami Steve and Clarence and Nils, would be so good!!!

hope they do, and it's in RDS outdoor Arena,

anyone know how long it took to sell out the RDS last time he was here for the Rising tour?, i heard it was the fastest in Europe, well he presently has the Fastest in Ireland, and certanly in most of Europe and the U.S

sold out some 40k stadiums in U.S in less than 30 seconds... :eek:...

RDS '03 didn't sell out quickly, it was a number of days as I remember.
