I'd imagine they sold out to people who bought the album. It was a decent deal really, €11 album and get the right to buy 2 tickets, not surprised it sold out yesterday

You didn’t even have to buy the album.

MisterAnarchy · 30-03-2018 11:14am

Killarney still has tickets if anyone wants to see the band in May.

I pre bought the album through the link posted earlier for universal store and never got a presale code and this morning was just a disaster, gonna cancel the album now.

When did you buy album? You had to buy it before 5pm on Tuesday I think or sign up to their new mailing list link before then to get the code

I have been on the mailing list since 2004 but only people that pre ordered the album got the code
It wasnt a mailing list pre sale - for want of a better word
Just for people that pre ordered before the cut off time / signed up to the database again using the no purchase necessary link

They sold out nearly all of the tickets in presale ,its the normal practice now.
Sell them all in presale ,then general sale sells out in seconds and huge hype is created .
That is what the bands want as they will come back later in the year and play bigger venues and people will rush out to buy.

General sale is a joke for these small events .

To be fair they havent had an album out in 7 years
To the really big fans thats a long long time and they were going to be very eager to get tickets and for the opportunity to see them in smaller venues

marvin80 · 04-04-2018 10:16am

Some tickets left for Killarney if anyone is looking

Toutless.ie might have some?

Does anyone know the stage times tonight for Cork? Doors are at 7. I think it starts at 8 but I dunno if that is for support or Snow Patrol

I'd guess that's for support. Then snow patrol on around 9. I'd call the opera house to be sure.

Support will start at 8 ,it always starts on time in the Opera House .
Snow Patrol probably on 8.50-9.

siblers · 12-05-2018 2:51pm

Cool, thanks

siblers · 12-05-2018 11:03pm

Superb performance, flew by, were on for 9 and off by half 10. Played pretty much all the hits and 5 off the new album, crowd were excellent too

aka accounts 2010 · 13-05-2018 1:16pm

Absoutely fantastic in Cork last night. Really fabulous stuff.

Crowd were well up for it. New tracks sounded excellent live.

Gary and the band seemed really happy on stage. Great to have them back.

Zardoz · 13-05-2018 1:56pm

Thoroughly enjoyable night at the Opera House.

The band were very relaxed and seemed to be enjoying the gig.
The gig was a bit short at 87 minutes but thats to be expected as its an album launch tour.

The sound was superb ,nearly always is in the Opera House ,its a superb venue .

Porthallian · 13-05-2018 11:03pm

Who are the support act?

Checked them out on Spotify and them seem ok

That's a bit harsh. You could tell they're a young act but they're clearly talented musicians. If they can improve their songwriting, I could see them having some minor success.

They also brought a lot of energy which warmed the crowd up.

Agreed.

Very young act and you could see they were overwhelmed to be opening for a band the size of Snow Patrol. I actually enjoyed them as a warm up act.

Plenty energy and had a nice crowd in early to see them.

Bought tickets off somebody. Does anybody know if they are enforcing the strict ID and ticket checks?

In the Opera House you were lucky if they even checked your ticket not to mind ID.

McLoughlin · 14-05-2018 1:24pm

Would like to have seen them play in my hometown of Wexford but tickets were too expensive. I pay at the most €30 for live music in Wexford but nearly €70 for Snow Patrol was far too much.

My friend was at the Cork gig

It's for charity....
And they knew it would sell out in seconds so they might as well make the most for the chosen cause as they can
I'm so excited to get to see them in my hometown after travelling to Germany to see them twice and to the UK several times

cloneslad · 14-05-2018 6:29pm

I've been to see them 3 times, once in the old Point, once in The Odyssey and the reworked tour in the opera House in Belfast and was really looking forward to tomorrow night but can't make it mow due to a family funeral.

Is the best way to sell them on at cost price on Toutless? Mine are digital tickets so I'm just wary of anything that might mess me up on them.

Toutless is probably your best bet, yeah.

Cheers, put them up earlier, and got a response on it but struggling for signal where I am so hopefully it'll be grand.

Bummer1234 · 15-05-2018 2:18pm

Anyone know the stage times for tonight in dublin?

Edit: Checked the olympia website it has the following details

http://olympia.ie/whats-on/snow-patrol/

Approximate stage times are as follows: Doors 7pm, Support Act Brand New Friend on from 8pm, with Snow Patrol on approximately 9pm. We expect this show to finish around 10.45pm.

Shlippery · 15-05-2018 11:28pm

..that was class.

"Make this go on forever" - my highlight.

New stuff is great. Brought me back to Oxegen '09. Good banter. He said his voice was going but the crowd carried every fecking song, even the "guitar bits" as he said himself.

People may not have liked the ticket prices but I fcking loved the night.

antodeco · 15-05-2018 11:36pm

Excellent gig. Unfortunately I was in the upper circle which meant waiting for the international space station to pass to see he gig, but what a fantastic show. Olympia is such a great venue for being "close" to the band. Look forward to their o2 show in late November!

Really enjoyed it and definitely felt the nostalgic trips of oxegen 07/09.
Said they’re announcing gigs soon. Presume 3arena?

I was up there myself...Christ i didn't know you could go up so high in the Olympia...Great gig... Gary was great with the crowd and answering back to people like the "Mayor of Boston" :pac:

Already looking forward to what will more than likely be there next gig in dublin in the 3 arena.

Lavdogg · 16-05-2018 6:50pm

Did they check the names on the tickets etc? I have got two for Friday but not in my name...

Never checked our tickets just scanned tickets and searched bag.

Wellyd · 16-05-2018 11:45pm

Just home from tonight’s show in the opera house in Wexford and I have to say I thought it was a brilliant show. Gary was in fine voice and full of craic. I absolutely loved What if this is all the love you ever get and to hear make this go on forever took me back a few years! The only downside to the show was the idiot sitting beside me recording the whole show on their phone with the flash on.

JMD adds so much to that song, love it so much!
Ahhh did the camera police not get onto her?
We had staff shining torches at us anytime we even took our phones out

I said the exact same thing to my fiancé last night about JMD. I always enjoy a good snow patrol harmony! I was really unsure what to expect in the small venue but I have to say it worked. There was a really good mix of old and new and I look forward to seeing them when they hit the road later this year. Hopefully not on a school night the next time though!
