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?

I got two tickets for the Lower Davin - block 320, row CC - are these crap tickets does anyone know? Am hearing reports that Lower Davin tickets are the worst....

From looking at the seating plan I'm slightly halfway up the lower Davin stand - will I be able to see ok or will the stage be miles away/pitch people be in my way??

I'm happy to have the tickets anyway but just looking for feedback from anyone that knows... Thanks!

If people didn't buy from touts, there wouldn't be a problem.

Just got a few in Jervis after two hours wasted on ticketmaster Website.

Decent queue but everybody was being looked after.

Well it is at the back of the pitch but at least its the lower stand - not sure if I'd like being up too high!

Word of warning to anyone hoping to pick up face value tickets.

Be VERY wary of anyone selling face value tickets already, particularly if they are the PRINT AT HOME tickets.

Ask yourself, why would someone buy tickets today and then sell them straight away for no profit?

There's a good chance that they will be selling photocopies of those tickets to many people.

Not to discredit the genuine sellers who will have their reasons, but just be careful!!

If it's anything like an All Ireland Final you'll be fine for a swap. Go up into the stand and at the entrance tell a steward you can't sit up there.

At GAA games you'd be redirected to the ticket office at the back of the cusack who reissue tickets.

The only problem is they may be crap seats. These seats are typically held back for vertigo sufferers in the lower davin.

Ive experience of this in the past. :-D

i'm not saying i'm not grateful for a ticket, because i am. but i genuinely didn't think i would even get into ticket master, let alone get a ticket. i have a 6 months to decide will it be worth it or not to be up that high. might even go up for a croke park tour.:o

Attempts to implement ticket touting laws in this country were basically abandoned as it would require trying to enforce ebay etc to block them (and they didn't want to upset tech companies setting up here). There was some FG lad who was big into trying to get it passed but it went nowhere (talked to him once but can't remember his name).

The name on the ticket thing ala Glastonbury is a bigger pain than you'd think as it stops legitimate people selling on a ticket for face value if they can't go. It also stops people buying tickets as presents. Also if you've six tickets per person and the ticket buyer is sick on the day those five other people can't go etc.

There are other ways of making a system that allows transfers without touting but Ticketmaster are not interested in implementing it as they've their finger in reselling sites that allow touting (that they get a cut in).

Basically all that is left is refusing to ever deal with touts. There'll be plenty of spares for this closer to the day.

I don't know why something can't be done about the touts. I've been to quite a few gigs on the continent over the last few years and most times when I buy tickets the persons name is printed on the ticket, at the venue they must then show a valid ID. Don't know why ticketmaster can't introduce a system like this.

It's been so unfair this morning.

Btw, my son managed to get me two tickets, way at the back and up high. I wanted four tickets, two for my other son who lives in London. So I guess I'm still without a ticket.

As a regular concert goer for music, comedy gigs and sporting events, touts are normally outside the venues, pretty clearly shouting they have tickets.

And you will have Guardaí within earshot not giving a ****.

Just the way it is unfortunately, the system at present for booking tickets plays into their hands. Anyone with a mild knowledge of how the internet and computers works, could setup a method by which they can buy multiple batches of tickets.

A number of ways to eradicate it, but unfortunately it ends up hurting the genuine customers in the end.

Simply put while the revenue is coming into the concert organisers, and ticketmaster get their percentage, they really couldn't care less. Once that % keeps rolling in the door.

The only way to stop the tickets going on the web is to bring in a system of putting names on the tickets and only allowing people into the venue that have photo id to match the ticket names . If there where purchased online then the card holder should only get a new ticket with a changed name by going to a ticketmaster outlet with there billing information and card used to purchase the tickets . I bet that will stop all the touts having a field day .

Ya Great Proposal should be done the same way Glastonbury does theres with SeeTickets were u have 2register,upload ur details with picture & then ur issued a booking code & limited to 4 tickets.If successful ur ticket comes with ur picture & name on it..Stops the touts

Exactly my views on it , they should try to limit the amount of people buying them to tout them for a high profit . But the thing is when this happening you know it will never change .

Got 2 pitch standing for Sunday at about 10:25. My sister-in-law was mad to go, but wasn't sure she could get tickets. Turns out she did through a friend, so I offered them to another friend who couldn't get through to Ticketmaster. He couldn't make Sunday. Another friend snapped them up instantly. Happy to help out friends who don't have luck with Ticketmaster... Can't stand these a**holes who charge an arm and a leg.

Standards for professional conduct
To promote safe selling of event tickets on eBay and to make sure the sales follow all laws related to tickets sales, we've developed standards for professional conduct for selling tickets on eBay. These standards neither replace nor dismiss eBay's general seller rules and policies, but rather supplement those rules. Sellers need to follow these guidelines when selling tickets on eBay.
I agree not to sell, trade, produce, or advertise tickets that I do not have in my possession.
I agree not to participate in any way in the advertisement, sale, or trade of any ticket using any deceptive practices including, but not limited to, false or misleading claims of sales scarcity, face value, or current value.
I agree to promptly refund the purchase price for any ticket which has been deemed by the venue to be counterfeit or unacceptable for gaining entry to an event.
I agree to abide by all federal, state, and local laws relating to the tickets sales.

You can get electronic tickets - so they may have them.

i saw one or two people on here saying they went online for the crack to see if they get tickets. hello people, it's not fair on those of us who genuinely wanted to buy tickets to see garth brooks. there are probably people without now because you wanted to see for the crack :mad:

Well, she got a nosebleed seat so it's understandable in a way. She could have been hoping for pitch perhaps.

When tickets sell like that consider yourself lucky to get one . I have been on ticketmaster all morning for a friend and we couldn't get tickets and there was 4 people looking for him .

Ah, the poor woman.

If ever anyone lived up to their username.

Maybe she should stay at home altogether and give her ticket to someone who would be glad of it.

If people didn't buy them at stupid prices, there wouldn't be a market for it. I got the 3 tickets I needed and didn't buy more, but can see why people would go for 6 and sell them to make a profit if people are stupid enough to pay 400 - 800 euro for a ticket.

I know. Unfortunately peopple are willing to pay the insane prices for them! there's no way in hell, as much as I love Garth Brooks, that I would pay above the odds for the tickets

The only way to combat the pure and utter rubbish that is Ticketb@st@ard online is for them to do an audited pre-registration system.

Ive had that experience trying to get tickets for other gigs before, but frankly I think anyone who didnt get tickets today has dodged a bullet.

OldGoat

So will there be any genuine swaps allowed

Maybe she'll get a swap closer the time!

Hopefully can get a swap closer to the date.

Edit, are swap requests allowed here?

How many standing tickets did you get? I got 3 seating tickets for Sunday which I'd rather swap straight up for standing!

Ps.Ill take two of your tickets if selling

I still looking for swap need Fri nite tickets for sat night please ?

Swapping tickets is a breach of the forum charter. No ticket trading please.
