My understanding was in the past Soundcellar didn't have the ability to get hooked up to the computer system when everyone else did. My guess is they probably can now but their unique setup probably means they've chosen not to upgrade. Yeah I wasn't sure if it was still something they did but someone else said it was. They might only get tickets for certain events (probably of the rock/metal variety).

The only situation where queuing MIGHT give an advantage is if there are physical tickets preprinted from before the pool opens to the general public online but there is no evidence this will be the case and unless a representative or an employee or otherwise of Ticketmaster says so I think you're taking a major risk with regards getting tickets if you queue. Even at places that have done some sort of preallocation in the past you are counting on the pattern to be repeated and there to be no unforeseen situation like a hardware failure at the outlet or an employee being sick or late (just when is flu season anyway?). I reckon some people will do it anyway.. some might come back and tell us how they had a great time and got their tickets ( I've said before I reckon there will be SOME tickets left for at least an hour) but ultimately it will have been unnecessary at best and cost you tickets at worst.

When further questioned about what ticketmaster outlets are these, east galway came as a reply. There is only two ticketmaster outlets in galway and that's on shop street in galway city and the other is out in Ballinasloe. I rang Stronges, the ticketmaster outlet in Ballinasloe (east Galway) this morning. They are open Thursday and selling for Garth Brooks.

Skyebear07 wrote: » Funny that because we psychically called into Stronges, he stated he would not be selling GB tickets as he has had bad issues with Queues previously, drinking, fighting etc. there is also another TM incorporated within another business in galway, we called to them, they also said the same thing, anytime they sold for big events in the past that people were queuing up outside for overnight they had complaints and Garda presence so they have opted not to sell. If you follow other feeds online I have seen a number of people state that certain places around the country are not selling. I am very close to Stronges in Balinasloe so trust me if I thought I could trust getting tickets there I'd be outside it like a shot as it would save me a whole heap of hassle. My friend has just rang and been told they are not sure if they will be selling thurs. I am only repeating what I have been told.

Toast wrote: » Croke Park capacity for matches is 82k. The stand behind the stage is unused when a gig is on though there is extra capacity on the pitch. For past gigs typically the number given is about 60k. If it's 2 nights it will be 120k but most seem to think it will be 3 so 180k or about 4.5% of the population of the country.
