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?

Pretty sure there are some sort of limits to number of gigs per year, could be locals or something. U2 would sell out a few dates in a row easy. But looking back in recent years there are a max of 3 gigs per year most years. Maybe someone else already has it pencilled in. There were 4 in 2009 and I think U2 might have had hassle getting the 3 dates that year.

One direction have 3 shows coming up in croke park this year. Just surprised that they have said no chance as garth mentioned in his interviews that they was possibility of more. It still wouldn't surprise me if he does a 3rd show

Just heard on the radio that Aiken promotions have said there is no chance of any more dates being put on. Don't know what to make of that as thought they would definitely do a 3rd show as the demand will be there for it

Would a third date sell out?

My sister introduced me to his rock version of The dance. My heart skipped a beat. I swear. It's beautiful and powerful.

They really do.

If there are 2 dates (and some rumblings say as many as 5) that's 120k tickets at least (unless it is a 360 setup they lose a stand behind the stage in gig mode so 150k is probably a bit too much). There are going to be tickets around for at least an hour and I wouldn't be surprised if longer. They won't be GOOD tickets and it might be a case that there'll be a fair bit of misery to get them but 3 mins for 120k tickets is just not happening (quoted in another thread getting hard to keep track of them all at this stage).

The real wildcard in this is the international interest. If this wasn't gig one of a comeback tour Ireland alone wouldn't sell this out straight away. It is really hard to account for what America will do. However these will be going on sale at 9am Irish so 3am - 4am on a Friday morning in America so it might be a case that there'll be tickets around right up until America wakes up in force.

I wouldn't say anyone is walking into Ticketmaster at lunch time and picking one up without hassle but if you are up at 9am and trying consistently and don't mind being up in a nosebleed somewhere you'll almost certainly get some sort of a ticket.

there is a huge huge interest in these gigs. Almost everyone wants a ticket.

I cant see there been anymore than 2 shows

It is a bit strange that someone up close to the stage is paying the same as someone in the nosebleeds but there ya go.

This is for US cards only. As far as I can see there is no way to access this except at the point of paying for something with 3D secure.

I don't remember being asked for a MasterCard one ever so I'm a bit worried now and I can't remember the one for my VISA debit card either.

Another thing if I was to use visa debit which option do you chose on the TM website. VISA or lasercard as there is no visa debit option.

You choose VISA.
People need to calm down, there'll be approx 150,00 tickets with possibly a third date..

From experience, I can lend a bnit of advice though

If it can be helped, do not rely entirely on the site, as when things get busy, ticketmaster.ie can turn into an absolute cluster-feck-mess.

however if you are relying on online. Chose best available EVERYTIME! and a reasonable number of tickets(2/3) this is because if you choose seating for example and decide to be a smart ass and buy 6, to make a profit, ticketmaster will try and get you 6 beside each-other and makes getting tickets a lot more difficult.
WAIT IN THE QUE YOU ARE PUT IN. DO NOT REFRESH THE PAGE OR YOU LOSE EVERYTHING.

Most ticketmaster outlets will have been told to expect demand by ticketmaster and will open at approx 8.50. In Limerick and Cork at least, a shop worker will come outside before opening, walk down the que and ask people how many ticket they require, and also if standing/seated. They will then go inside and at 9 will start printing as many tickets as they are allowed. (if 6 is max they will just start printing in groups of 6, until the system wont let them print anymore)
Having cash going into these shops is the easiest, as they do not need to process you online then, and can just hand you a printed out ticket.

Being at the shop for half 6, is plenty of time, there is absolutely NO-NEED to camp out overnight, that is just overreacting.

Also, although yes they are picking form the xsam,e pot in shops, they servers in shops dont seem to get caught in queing, ans shops just start printing.. just please dont go into a shop saying "i need hogan/cusack stand tickets and only htat exact stand will do" take whatever sitting ticket you get, there really will not eb itme to get you your exact demanded ticket.. take which ever you can get and be happy.

he ticketmaster app, also, if you are worried the shop mightn't have your allocation(majority of times for these gigs they do though) is a very easy way to get tickets..

finally, and probably most importantly, ALTHOUGH 65 IS THE RPOICE, YOU WILL PAY ABOUT 70-75 FOR THIS TICKET, AND APPROX 85 FOR A 75 EURO SITTING TICKET! THE PRICE AIKEN AND TICKETMASTER ADVERTISE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TICKETMASTER FEE, WHICH CAN GO UPTO €7 PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.. THE TICKET WILL COST MORE THAN €65/75.

think I've covered most area, who knew being a ticket whore would eventually come in handy :P
hope this helps a little bit

TM have just confirmed there's a 6 ticket limit:

Would/could online ticketmaster crash next thursday morning? Does it ever happen?

It does happen. It happened for Take That's Croke park gigs.

Adventurous001

Hiya, if you select 'best available' on the ticket master website rather than a particular section of Croke park for the Garth Brooks concert, does the ticket master system sort 'standing' as the 'best available' before all the 'seating sections' or would it be best to just select 'standing'?Thanks!

Mrs Garth Brooks

I wont be able to relax until I get tickets.

Woke up at 6am this morning. So afraid of missing tickets. Its not for another week.

schemingbohemia

It states in numerous posts that the outlets are picking from the same pot as those online.

Cbeamy

I did read through all this thread as I have been on it since the start. It doesn't actually clarify if there is an allocation per agent

Guys does anyone know how it works with the ticketmaster outlets, are they allocated a certain amount of tickets to sell for themselves or are they equally logging into a web based system in order to purchase? As in does one have a better chance with queuing at the outlet than sitting on line.. Its so frustrating.

If you read through this thread, you should find all your questions answered.

delbertgrady

I see Ticketmaster have small print saying "ticket limit subject to change" for the concerts. This is not generally stated and is not normal practice. Don't be surprised if, at 9:02 on Thursday, they reduce the amount allowed per customer to four (or even two) if they think that it will make it fair for as many people as possible.

poundhound

My tip for booking online is to print off a Croke Park seating plan in advance of the tickets going on sale.

That way when the website gives you a stand, block and seat number you can see on the seating plan exactely where your located.

It saves the panic of wondering if your seats are good or not.

Been on ticketmaster browsing around and my head is melted.

What is best available, unreserved, general admission ?

Best available would mean the system selects the best seats available at the time. Unreserved/general admission usually refers to standing gigs or the standing section or it might refer to a seated gig or section where there are no reserved seats.

Two other pieces of advice.

1) Keep trying. Tickets will be held until they are confirmed and as you've read Verified can cause problems. So those tickets will go back into the queue once the timer runs out.

2) Keep an eye out incase another gig is put on sale. This generally happens at 9:15/9:30 or 10.

lordgoat

If you're in dublin queue up for the main kiosk in stephens green, they are normally reliable to be there on time. But you will need to be at the top of the queue. This will sell out in 10 mins i'd say.

PTH2009

can u sign into your ticketmaster account on the app and on a desktop/laptop the same time
