Shred · 29-04-2006 09:09AM

Just went to the home page (http://www.ticketmaster.ie/) and it says it is sold out

Fúck:mad:

verdidnt · 29-04-2006 09:12AM

I don't beleive it!

Have been trying with 3 browsers since the minute tickets went on sale. Didn't get one

( Only wanted 1! Crap..

ergo · 29-04-2006 09:12AM

actually, just got one standing ticket after I posted above so keep trying

Chris IS Cool · 29-04-2006 09:13AM

that's so annoying! i was online at nine but it never found me any tickets... damn selling outness...

Shred · 29-04-2006 09:13AM

God dammit, why the hell didn't I just select 'best availabe' instead of just going for standing and waiting a minute for it to refresh:rolleyes: I couldn't have got up any earlier...

Ain't happenin' for me:(

thenobody · 29-04-2006 09:16AM

Well there you go. Theres your problem. They know if you use more than one window or browser and you wont get in. Just use one window and you would have been fine.
I got my tickets bang on 9. Best seats there too.
Couldnt get back in after.
Was lucky

DubOnHoliday · 29-04-2006 09:16AM

I was online since 8:45 also, with best available selected (using 1 browser window).... no joy, b@stards.

horsesnout · 29-04-2006 09:17AM

I've actually ended up with double. First time I went for 'Best Available' 4 it gave me 4 balcony block E tickets, thought if I backed out I'd end up with nothing so I bought them. :mad:

Then after a few failures I eventually got through again and got offered 4 standing, so I'll probably sell the 4 balcony seats here in a few days if no one I know "in real life" needs them..

It's a 4 ticket limit so if both of those orders are goin to the same adress then one will be cancelled without notice

ergo · 29-04-2006 09:19AM

think I just got very lucky

got mine at about 8.08

before that I had tried "best available" but it was giving me nothing at all, couldn't believe it after that to get one standing

anyone not sorted might try Soundcellar in Dublin later on, sometimes they get a load of tickets and have them after ticketmaster seem to have sold out

unbelievable though, less than 10 mins to sell out!

horsesnout · 29-04-2006 09:20AM

No it wont. Have you never bought more than 4 tickets before :rolleyes:

Youre right, there was a 2 ticket limit for the 3rd U2 gig last year. I was able to buy 4 by using my laser and credit card. Same address on both.

I was gonna Q in talla-fornia but decided against it as I'm sick.

For once, ticketmaster online has been good to me ;-)
I've 2 standing tickets in my posession!

It was like taking Candy from a baby!

Yahhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooo!

Back to bed for me.

Earthhorse · 29-04-2006 09:30AM

It seems to be totally random whether you get tickets or not. Regardless of selection, time you've been up since, you just get lucky or not.

If those seating tickets are going a begging I'm interested in two.

herobear · 29-04-2006 09:36AM

i know its a bit late, but

things to do, to help your chances:
create a ticketmaster account,
have only 1 window open, with ticketmaster on it,
keep refreshing, from around 2 minutes too,
have a fast connection(broadband preferably),
wish yourself luck!

The one and only way to do it. Thats what i had done. Didnt set up the account for this only though.

herobear · 29-04-2006 09:41AM

having an account is dead handy, if you use ticketmaster regulary like i do. no need to enter your credit card detaiils/billing address detaiils as its saved securely onto your account

if they'd been going on sale Monday I'd have been alright, bu as I've exceeded my cap, I should've just gone into the job this morning and tried from there..........but it's ridiculous the amount of ticket pairs on sale on ebay and the obvious amount that the other touts have - it's just beginning to make buying tickets a joke, it shouldn't be a lottery, bring back the days of queueing overnight if this is what's going to happen everytime a popular band comes here after not playing for a while............ah well, think I'll go to The Cult now......
