MOD:
Dear Everyone.

Ticket swapping, selling, buying or trading are not permitted in the forum and that covers implied sales too.

Anyone trying to shift tickets on the forum will be banned.

Telling us something like "I have 10 tickets and I hope I'll be able to use them all" or similar ruses is implying that you are willing to sell tickets and you will be banned.
Please don't try getting around the ticket trading section of the forum charter because I'll just ban you.
I will err on the side of hard-headed in any ambiguous cases and ban you till after the concerts.

MOD NOTE 28 JUNE 2014

I genuinely hate doing this. But if people can't be civil to each other, this thread will be locked at first for 24hours and then longer.

Stop bitching.

There was a decision made. From here on talk about the concert only, not the circus around it's planning permission, if you want to do that, there's a Dublin forum

===========================================

No personal insults please. Keep things friendly. I do not want to have to close this thread again.

Doom

===========

So Garth Brooks has finally confirmed he is going on tour in 2014. Will there be an ireland date and if so which venue would you like to see him play?

hopefully the set up will be on ticket master before the tickets go on sale, so I know what to aim for.

My sister is fairly certain that tickets are all the same price. So that only leaves two options for his concerts and ticket sales - standing and seating with no options of picking sections. Standing on the pitch and seating on the tiers.

Would a ticketmaster outlet allow you get friday and saturday tickets at the same time?

Technically, yes, absolutely. There's no rule that says you're only entitled to buy tickets for one concert, but if there's a hectic queue of people scrambling to be accomodated (which there will be), they may say "one show only", in an effort to facilitate as many people as possible. I've seen them do it before.

It won't let me register! I think my computer might be too old.

But on the list here: http://www.visaeurope.com/en/cardholders/verified_by_visa/go_shopping.aspx#imageArchive
it doesn't mention Ticketmaster.

Its a password linked to your Visa account that you have to input with various retailers, added protection. You can skip it a few times but I think after the 3rd time you have to set up the password.

Do you always have to use it on Ticketmaster?

I've bought tickets over the years and don't remember seeing this before!

I've never been to Croke Park for a concert before,
After a quick google I think the pitch is split into four areas?
That the two areas closest the stage are pink and indigo?
Also if it sells out really quick, what seats would be the best?
Thanks in advance for any advise on which area to go for next Thursday

You speak of the pitch divided into sections and the two front sections are pink and indigo.

I think perhaps you were looking at an image of the pitch layout for another concert. Perhaps one direction? I know I had a look at the pitch and stage layout for one direction and one direction has a catwalk and the pitch divided into four sections and I remember one direction had yellow and pink sections along with two more colours. Can't remember any more.

My understanding is that every band is going to have a different stage and pitch layout. What one band will organise the venue, another will do differently.

I checked out ticketmaster and there's nothing up there yet on garth brooks. There's no image and general idea of how croker will be set out for Brooks.

If you are using Visa and want to be really sure you can get through Verified by Visa quickly if it turns out you've forgotten your password make sure you have all your card details, including your credit limit. It's quick and easy to change the password there and then but you'll need your credit limit.

The Mastercard one is even easier. I had to change a Mastercard password recently while buying tickets and it was no problem.

I *think* I know mine (at least getting a new one is quick), does anyone have any idea how to check it or an on-line store that uses it?

Even when you do know your password, your heart still sinks when the Verified by Visa page pops up. First you refresh and enter in your order as fast as you can, which never seems quick enough. You then have to endure Ticketbastard's wheel of death, which on high demands gigs like this, could turn for what seems like hours. If you ever do get past that, you then have about 2 or 3 pages of confirming your tickets and payment. And just when you think it's all done, you still have to go through Visa's verification process.

Crap, this one got me before what can I do to figure this out before next week?

Yep, the memories of Bruce Springsteen tickets come flooding back. A clock ticking down like a bomb & you've no idea what your secure password is, 1 min 45 seconds to go before your carefully picked out East Stand Upper Row tickets go to the next guy . . . . . panic panic

Note to self "never be in that situation again"

Use a 3V card to avoid 3d secure and Verified by Visa 3D secure will cause alot of people to lose their tickets.
Use a good wired internet connection with the latest version of chrome with plugins disabled to ensure the website loads fast.
Practice the captcha a few times beforehand.
DO NOT REFRESH TOO FAST - Ticketmaster will block your computer from accessing their website for a period of a few minutes if it gets too many page requests within a short amount of time.
The app has no captcha or verified by visa but its also buggy.

Thanks for all the tips. My tummy is in knots already just thinking about the booking process. Lol.

Best thing to do is register an account with TM and add your card to your TM account if you haven't already. If you have a smartphone, download the TM app. On the morning, sign in to your account, hit refresh until it goes on sale and hope for the best.

Agreed up until the refresh part

Mr.S wrote: »

Have the event page open a good bit before tickets go on sale

Do not click refresh before the on sale time. There is no point.

1 second or 2 AFTER the on sale time, click refresh. ONCE.

Click Find Tickets.

Fill in each box with how many you want, section etc.

Click order/find tickets ONCE.

WAIT. DO NOT REFRESH.

Buy tickets as per instructions.

+1, I refresh after 5-10 seconds into the selling time, I have a GMT website open to have the correct time.

I have lost out when refreshing in the past, I have never failed with the short wait method, got ACDC tickets when they played the O2 like this, which were gone really fast.

The other option is trying to phone, not sure if you can phone in advance of the sell time. I heard of someone ringing TM in the UK which were also selling tickets for a U2 gig. You could try ringing TM UK the day before and ask if they will be selling any, and maybe also ask if they are going to be accepting irish CC, and sending to a irish address. You could possibly use parcel motel if they will only send to northern ireland.

by phoning you have the added advantage of possibly being able to select your seats.

Also the ticketmaster captcha's (the muddled up words for security) can be very hard to make out, so I sometimes refresh at that point, and do not agonise over every letter, they seem to allow 1 or 2 mistakes. Seems stupid to even have them if you are logged into your account.

Also have your CC ready, there is a timer dropping all the time and the tickets will be unreserved again, my mate is crap at typing and ran out of time before, I think its longer now but you might have to run to find your CC.

If a few of us are going I get other people to log on and try for tickets, then email each other straight after the selling time and see if anybody got them, also do this with work colleagues. If a few have gotten through you can quickly decide who got the best seats too, if its not standing obviously.

They've their own kiosk software which is different to the webpage. They usually take a name even if you pay cash (they won't check it though so no ID is required). You'd probably want to know exactly what tickets you want and have a few fallbacks predecided upon if they're not available.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Just another thing. If I was to queue up for tickets.

Can I go in and say I want whatever, hand over cash, print tickets.

Would they use online TM themselves and ask me for my details, name, address etc. Cause time could be saved instead of telling someone else your details. Sure I can type it in myself.

Buy for one show, then go back and start all over again.

Sound Cellar does still do it, I would imagine their allocation is gone by now though, I remember reserving tickets with them for stuff in the Point back in the day and waltzing in on the day of sale past the TM queues heh.

There's another record shop in town that still does it, off Temple Bar. I can't remember the name though, looks like it should be back in the 60's.

'The 60's shop' it's called.

Mrs Garth Brooks

As much as I would love to get them online. I've got mobile internet and im terrified of the network going down. It has happened with three, quite alot actually. Im almost in tears just thinking about it. I'll do whatever it takes.

Queue up, with laptop in hand maybe.

There used to be a few "off the grid" ticket outlets that would get a preprinted allocation of tickets for gigs rather than have to print them from the general pool. Sound Cellar on Nassau St. being the most famous. I have no idea if this is still the case (or if Sound Cellar is still open) but in the past if something sold out online that would be the place to head.

Close, I'll give you a cigar, but there are others in the box
