The email and the ticketmaster site just says "Pitch". Look at your actual ticket PDF and it should say "Pitch 1 Standing".

ClaptonBay · 20-11-2018 11:27am

bagged two as well for pitch 1...then i seen on the confirmation pitch G2, was like fack it anyway...but its fine says pitch 1 further down.

Not seen them live since slane when they supported the Chillis...what a gig that was. Good times.

Ah grand. Thanks

davywalsh7 · 20-11-2018 11:28am

I like the way there’s no price differential between pitch 1/2

The killers last year was a bit of a joke the “golden circle” went almost halfway down the pitch and they charged extra

Got 1 ticket just there block D Angelsa stand €96.35 ðŸ˜£ðŸ˜£ðŸ˜£

Prices are as follows exclude tm fee
€79.50- Standing 1 and 2
€89.50- Seating level 2
€129.50- Seating level 1

Crazy prices after paying a bit less to see them in the UK this year

130 for seating??In the rds that’s crazy it’s a side view

Rmgblue · 20-11-2018 11:42am

Glad I popped in here this morning! Thanks for sharing!
So I’m wondering does it matter if you said pitch 1 or 2? Just if a few of my friends are in the other can we hang out or will there be a divide?

Almost certain there will be a divide

There will be definitely be a divide and you won't be able to move between the two whilst on the pitch. You'll be able to meet at the food stalls etc but not on the pitch.

There will be a divide but if you have pitch 1 id say you can switch between but if you only have pitch 2 then they wont be able to get into the pitch 1 area.

tgdaly · 20-11-2018 11:47am

Thanks a million lads, got my tickets!

EPAndlee · 20-11-2018 11:48am

Ticket master kicked me out twice but got there eventually so happy days

boosabum · 20-11-2018 11:49am

thanks, got pitch 1 standing

Exclamation Marc · 20-11-2018 11:55am

Just for anyone concerned about the naming of the ticket as pitch...

If you buy either Pitch 1 or Pitch 2, they'll both be displayed as 'Pitch' but on the purchase page there is a difference if you click the ticket details.

In other words, if it just says 'Pitch', that's normal and it'll reflect Pitch 1 if you picked it when the tickets come.

Greg81 · 20-11-2018 12:04pm

Thank you.

Pitch 1 tickets secured.

ILikeBoats · 20-11-2018 12:04pm

Got Pitch 1! Woo

If you selected to post your tickets, it definitely says Pitch 1 when you view the receipt

Thanks for the presale code update

Furious-Red · 20-11-2018 12:11pm

Mine just says PITCH G4

Zardoz · 20-11-2018 12:14pm

It says Pitch 1 and 2 now in the ticket selection page ,it shows the different categories.
Ticketmaster Ireland seems a very amateur outfit ,they seem to have a serious lack of staff for both technical and customer service aspects.

machiavellianme · 20-11-2018 12:25pm

Bought 2. Haven't seen them since Feile 97 and haven't been much of a fan of the "samey" sound on everything since There is nothing left to lose.
Still, it's worth it for "this is a call" alone...if they still play it?

I've seen them around 4 times since 2011 and as far as I remember they've played it every time.

sibeen99 · 20-11-2018 12:36pm

Got 2! Thanks for sharing the link. Surprisingly easy. Now to just tell everyone Christmas is cancelled

Thanks for the heads up... I got pitch 1 but I'm a short gal and sometimes I can't see the stage if I'm in a crowd... does the crowd control improve with the pitch 1/2 situation? i.e. should there be a little more room at the back of pitch 1 so perhaps a short gal can see?

Thanks for sharing the pre-sale link and code guys, I'm so relieved to have those tickets in the bag

Judes · 20-11-2018 1:07pm

So yesterday I registered with MCD presale and then I tried the link directly to Foo's site - but today - no code - no nothing - no response - so I can't get tickets yet. Seriously - I get so stressed every time anybody I really want to see is selling tickets as I can't get my hands on the early ones - no matter what I do. Biggest farce was EP - have my accommodation booked - but no damn tickets. Seriously - thinking the way to go in future is just to book a weekend away to the UK and see whoever I want to see there - less hassle - and possibly worth the extra flight/hotel - as it's all so much easier. In the meantime if any of you have any suggestions that could help a techno-phobic blonde here - all "helpful" suggestions WELCOME.

Yeah there's always a bit of space at the back of pitch 1 in these types of set ups.

You'll be able to stand in comfort and move around a bit at the back of pitch 1 no problem without being in a mob.

antodeco · 20-11-2018 1:13pm

3 purchased for pitch 1. Thanks for the code!

Drake70 - I LOVE YOU!!! Seriously - I DO!!! I've just got my two tickets for the Stands in G Row P. I was in Stand G for Paul Simon last year and going to be there for Fleetwood Mac next year - fantastic place to be as you can see so much - under cover if the word we won't mention happens - and if I over-do the head banging I can just sit. I am so excited I cannot tell you how much I really really really appreciate your help. All you guys/gals out there on Boards who put up helpful links and info - the BEST XXX:D

Zardoz · 20-11-2018 1:29pm

With the Reading and Leeds festival on the Saturday and Sunday its unlikely a second gig will be added for Dublin I'd say.
4 gigs in 5 nights would be a stretch.

underneath that on the ticket it says Pitch 1 Standing on mine. I was just looking at the Section before

although for some reason I can't rint-at-Home option on the website anymore, it's only giving the Mobile Ticket on my phone link now.

keeponrockin · 20-11-2018 2:00pm

More pitch 1 standing available now

Radiant Cool Crazy Nightmare · 20-11-2018 2:29pm

Never been to the RDS before, for anything (not just concerts).

What's it like as a venue?

CorkClaire82 · 20-11-2018 5:07pm

Are people still seeing Pitch 1? I'm only seeing Pitch 2, which I bought already, but I'd love Pitch 1 so I'm curious. I'd buy again anyway!

I've been there for 4 gigs with the last being The Killers a few months ago. Honestly can't fault the sound or the logistics of the venue - easy to get in and get out of too.

Woolygloves · 20-11-2018 5:43pm

Thanks for the links guys, I was all stressed about missing out on these tickets!!

I bought them at 10.15 this morning and selected best available standing. Do you think that was pitch 1? I can't see it written anywhere on the receipt.

PTH2009 · 20-11-2018 5:45pm

been years since i was at a show in the RDS (Bon Jovi in 2011 and Bruce Springsteen in 2012) but always park there for matches in the Aviva and find it a pretty run down but massive overall venue. The Angelsa stand is pretty old fashioned but Grandstand/South/North stands are pretty modern. Lots of areas inside the venue for pubs/food etc out in the parade ring area. Very nice area around the venue too

Have 2 trips there next summer with Bon Jovi and Foos. I was almost sure the place was getting redeveloped in 2019 but obv not now

It doesn't say it on your e-mail confirmation, but if you go into your Ticketmaster order history on the site, it's more detailed and it will state there whether it's Pitch 1 or Pitch 2.
