George Michael Sold Out

At least I got further then Bruce Spring.

Can someone tell me how does it go from 3 minute wait at 9.01 to
"sorry there's a problem please return to main even page" and of course you're in the back of the Q.

Aghh
That's 7 months of grief off the missus now.

extra date sat is now on sale

~Leanne~ · 26-04-2006 09:45AM

I got tickets for Fri night - queueing all morning!!!

Lindaloo · 26-04-2006 09:56AM

He has the 10th free in his diary so possibly an extra night? Can't understand why they didn't do Lansdowne for him, he'd have easily sold it.

I had standing tickets on my screen available at 9.03 - went back to change to seated and then nothing gone within about 45 seconds :eek:

Tried the www.ticketmaster.co.uk site at approx 0918 though and they had the 3rd date on sale before the .ie site (had both .ie and .co.uk open on 2 diff screens) so managed to get 2 standing for 3rd date - by then I didnt care if I had to stand, sit or hover once I got them!!!

Not good form that they were on sale in the UK site before the Irish one, it was definitly about 5 mins before they then showed on the .ie site after going up on the uk one (unless my mind played tricks on me!)

€85.50 for standing, balcony €130.50 :eek:

markf909 · 26-04-2006 10:28AM

I had the same problems as other people.
In the queue with 5 mins wait at 901. Then told to change my selection then the were all
gone. The missus was in tears but thank god I saw the extra Sat date

sharkman · 26-04-2006 10:32AM

Sorry Guys , I had no problem . Logged on to my Ticketmaster account @ 09.03 and got 4 tickets for Friday ... No Problem .... And its not often I say that about Ticketmonster.

NIBBS · 26-04-2006 10:41AM

it's pretty crap......I was lucky enough, she was trying from just before nine and got nowhere - again was in the queue and it kicked out.......I told her I'd continue trying and got lucky as the site was just changing at 9:24 with the added date, got in straight away.........most expensive tickets I've ever bought and I'm not even going........such is life - hope you all enjoy it....

EJLL · 26-04-2006 10:53AM

Was trying to get tickets online since 9. Nothing happening and all hope was lost till the extra date on Saturday night was added. Selected tickets and got to the ticket purchase page.

Submitted my payment details and still didn't get the tickets. What is the deal?

I get offered tickets and then they disappear.:eek: Was less than 30 seconds paying for them and they disappear. So annoyed I can't concentrate on anything else.:mad:

ddunne · 26-04-2006 10:57AM

i qued down at the music box in finglas village thinkin not many ppl would que there, it was full of old ladies..... who waited until they got to the top of the que to start pondering where to sit... and then paying with credit cards.
it was 9.30 when i got my tickets and there up on the balcony row H for thursday as Firday and Saturday were sold out... doesnt sound promising at all!!
if he does the sunday i might sell these

giddyup · 26-04-2006 10:58AM

I was refreshing away from about 8.50. Got 4 tickets for Thursday bang on 9.00 with no problem. Got 2 for Saturday after doing a search on "George". The Irish site didnt list the extra gig properly for a few minutes even though they had announced it but I got them through the search. Bish bash bosh! Ingenuity people. Ingenuity.

NIBBS · 26-04-2006 11:34AM

just to let you know he won't be playing the Sunday night - certainly not in the Point.........Madness are on the Sunday night...

memyselfandi · 26-04-2006 11:52AM

Totally empathise OkiDoki. I will get the same from the Mrs. I am afraid I am going to have to hit eBay and pay whatever it takes. Crazy I know but it has to be done ...

okidoki987 · 26-04-2006 11:58AM

Have you seen the prices for the UK gigs on there already :eek:

memyselfandi · 26-04-2006 12:01PM

Just checked https://www.soldouteventtickets.com. They are charding £650 sterling - Approx €1000, I honestly can't bring myself to do it

ClareBear · 26-04-2006 12:11PM

Looks like I was one of the lucky few to get 2, my sister got them in Ticketmaster in Cork no bother, she said there weren't even that many people there. Very happy. He'll probably play another gig so don't worry.

He's clearing about 300,000 per gig so I guess he'll be back. And of course if he keeps falling asleep at the wheel as well as hitting three cars trying to come out of a parking spot he'll need all the gigs he can get.

PS paid 272 euro online at 9.38 this morning for two tickets for Saturday night, crazy

Crazy but happy

George Michael sold out years ago. and at those prices he can go shove a careless Whspa bar up his hole

irlirishkev · 26-04-2006 02:46PM

I found it difficult to get tickets too.. I persevered though and got thru. Only managed when the 3rd night went on sale though. I got 4 standing, and then 2 seated. The latter was an after thought as I'd rather sit. I'll give the standing ones to my mates..

Pricey alright..

Anyone paying that to see that tosser needs their head examined.

MisterAnarchy · 26-04-2006 03:06PM

€130 to see that guy is crazy.
He hasnt done anything decent in over 10 years and he was never that good to begin with.
A ticket for a 2 or 3 day event costs a little more than that.

okidoki987 · 26-04-2006 04:27PM

Most of us probably wouldn't pay 5 cent to see him but when your other
half calls, you LISTEN!
I even tried 1 ticket at various stages and got ZIP

Mushy · 26-04-2006 07:07PM

I was walkin past Music City in Bray and saw the queue. Wondered what it was for. Then remembered it was George Michael. Couldnt stop laughin cos the mix of people that were there was unreal. What a rip-off though.

JJ · 26-04-2006 08:07PM

Indeedily, Bruce tickets cost less and are 1000% better value.

JJ · 26-04-2006 08:10PM

And if you're bitch whines about not gettin' tickets, you stand up, be a man and tell her to get back to cookin' your dinner.

You've obviously never met my missus? :eek:

If you prefer lyrics like 'gonna kill the yellow man, baaawn in the US hey hey' over the rather more sophisticated 'Praying For Time'.

Wouldn't mind getting tickets for Michael if he promised to play his funkier pre 1992 stuff and not the crap he has churned out for a few years now.

Mines quite a force to be reckoned with too.
