Can you buy 02 presale tickets from a ticketmaster booth if you have the code with you or do you have to do it through the blueroom?? Can you go directly to ticketmaster.ie and enter your code or do you have to go through the 02 website?? Thanks!

I was there for their launch night a few months back, I thought it was a good venue with a decent layout and sound quality...although it was The Minutes playing that night rather than the DJ centric route they're going now so acoustics could be different?

Yeah when I look Hangar up online its seems like a club venue that only does dance gigs but I'm planning on seeing Jeffrey Lewis play there, he's a indie - folk musician so not the type of venue I was expecting

Anyone been to a gig in Hangar before? It's the old Andrews Lane theatre I believe.

I've never heard of it before and just wondering what to expect size wise and any useful info like that.

Cheers.

i seen ASH in ALT around 6yrs ago, was a free gig with 7up or some bollocks, great little venue, you go in, bar is on left, IIRC you can't see the stage from the bar, holds maybe 3-400 but nice compact little venue, sound was spot on too

Haven't been there, and their website doesn't have lots of information, but have a look any way.

I seriously doubt there is any legislation that forces someone to give out free tickets. I'd suspect it is more likely a "sorry for the inconvenience" kinda thing that promoters do to stop people trying to block the planning permission.

I wasn't really sure what forum to ask this question on but Vantastival is a local festival out my way and it is well known that local residents have been given complimentary tickets for the event due to the noise pollution and general disruption.

Now, there is another festival (Caravan of Love) on even closer to me and I was wondering if anyone could direct me in the direction of an article/legislation where it is mandatory to give out complimentary tickets to local residents within a 2 mile radius? That is what I have been told but I would like proper confirmation before I approach the organisers.

Where should I ask this question?

I'm looking to book a table in diceys / krystal for Sunday night. Has anybody ever done this here or know how easy/difficult it is?

Thanks

Hi all would love to get some peoples opinions on this, I'm going to a festival with my girlfriend but she cant get off work the Thursday and wants to go to the Friday instead, there's still two days which is grand and we're not camping as we have an apartment in the city but I really want to go the Thursday as there's some serious bands playing and would be my preferred day overall, is it a bit dickish for me to go early and let her fly over the next day? Also is going to a festival for a day on your own a bit sad? Any thoughts welcome

Only you can answer the first question. Personally, I would but others wouldn't.

No, its not sad to go to a festival for a day by yourself. I've gone to a few concerts alone/ arrived late and met people after. You make friends at the different acts and ultimately you are there for the music.

Thank you for replying (yes took a bit o' time

I have seen that schematic of the arena (the one you posted above).

I can see/figure out where Block H is (obviously from the letter H - but there are 3 of them), but I cant figure out the row 49, seats 48 and 49 ...

row 49 will be towards the back - if you see further to the left (in block L), you will see that last row is 53.
seats 48 and 49 would be the small left section. Again you can see on the top of the layout that the seats start from right to left.

Hope this helps.

Hello there,

I am looking to book tickets for an event, and cant get my head around the 3 area seating plan.

Where would Block H, row 49, seats 48 and 49 be?

I see H obviously, to the left of the stage, but there are 3 H blocks...

thanks!

Hi Dellas I can't believe that no one answered your query yet and that was about a week ago. Anyway the first result in Google for 3Arena seating plan brought up this, hopefully it helps.

Stub hub....

What up, peeps, does anyone have any experience of using Stub hub? I am looking at tickets for a show (sold out on Ticketmaster) Not only are tix available on Stub hub, they are slightly less than face value but what really makes me Scooby dubious is that delivery via UPS is free. Does this sound too good to be true? The show is in London so I don't want to shell out for flights and accommodation and then turn up to the show with a fake (or no) ticket. There are tix available via other online resellers but the fees and delivery are crazy.

On StubHub, the shipping is included in the price you see. Ticket prices are set by the sellers so if there is low demand and/or they're looking for a quick sale, they may sell them for less than face value. StubHub also have a guarantee that's detailed here:

Have never used them but I understand that they're able to put up prices based on demand. So if there's not much demand they can't put the prices up over face value

My GF bought tickets for an event in the Olympia, and they're for the night of a wedding which we only found out about afterwards. I note that Ticketmaster don't exchange or refund tickets unless the gig has been cancelled, but i'm just wondering if anyone has any experience doing this with the Olympia themselves?...i.e. would they exchange them for a different night or refund them if she bought tickets for an alternative night?

Is the ticketmaster "no exchange" rule as hard and fast as they make it? The exact text from the website is . There is a little bit about the BGE theatre changing them on occasion, but no mention about the Olympia either there or on their own site.

Your best bet would be to try and sell the tickets or look for a swap on toutless

We regret that we cannot exchange, refund or transfer tickets unless the event in question has been cancelled or rescheduled. This is part of Ticketmaster's Purchase Policy customers agree to when purchasing tickets

Awkward question: would it be safe to leave a bag with a laptop in it inside the Olympia cloakroom? Going to a gig straight from work and cant find anywhere to leave my bag

I have to say, I wouldn't risk it.
I am not sure that the theatre would take any responsibility for lost items.

Just like any cloakroom at any venue, it's at your own risk. I don't think I would if it was my laptop.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with buying tickets from ebay. I bought a couple of standing tickets for Placebo in the olympia on the 25th for face value. Hard copies, seller since 2002 with 100% feedback and paid with paypal. Just in case there's an issue with them, like the seller says they never received them and gets reprints from ticketmaster (although I've seen on the TM site they don't issue replacements for standing/GA tickets for safety reasons), are ebay/paypal ok with refunds? the FAQ seems to say so but has anyone else had to deal with a refund like that? It'd still be within the 45 days to make a claim if they turn out to be dodgy. Cheers!

Paypal would only issue a refund if A. the tickets never arrived or B. the tickets were fake. Very hard to show them fake tickets, infact I cant think of any way you can.

Hi all, first time posting on this board and after reading the charter, I think my question best belongs in this thread.

A little context first... Yesterday, I bought 2 seating tickets for a Walking On Cars concert in the Olympia which takes place in March. The thing is they are for the back row (row n) of the middle circle of the venue, and also happen to be restricted viewing seats which I think means that there will be a column/pillar a few rows in front. (The seats are 7 and 6 by the way)

So anyways, my question is this.... will these seats suck?

Kerrangatang

For bands, it depends on what way they stand on the stage. I was 2 rows ahead in L6 for a gig - there's a pillar a few rows in front, which was basically down the middle of the stage for me. It only blocked one band member though. The people with me were in L7 and 8, which were also marked restricted, but the pillar barely affected them because of the way the band were positioned on the stage. They said it was no worse than having a tall person in front of them in the standing area, as it only blocked an empty section of the stage.

I had to crane my neck to the left a bit to see the frontman every so often...

You are right in saying that the restricted view is due to the pillars. How much it will block, it's hard to say.
At one case I have bought seat H8 as restricted view, and it was only blocking the right edge of the screen, so it wasn't too bad. Further back might be a bit more restricted.

Thanks Irish Aris. I might keep on the lookout for some unwanted tickets and sell my own ones on.
