    pre sale codes are out and nothing earth shattering and could easily be guessed :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    FOB and Weezer mailing list pre sales are 10am tomorrow with Green Days mailing list at 11am (Webstore presale is 10am)

    What do you mean nothing earth shattering? Tickets aren't even on sale yet?

    I think he means the actual code - its the name of the tour.

    Oh really? The one I got from FOB's mailing list seems unique.

    Just checked the Green Day email. Yeah, you're right sorry :)

    The 10am code is the pre-order album one.

    No under 16’s in the standing area? Is that unaccompanied by an adult or are under 16’s actuality forbidden from entering the standing area?

    I ask because I’ve a 15 year old wanting to go.

    Yes they have to be over 16 to stand.

    Where'd ya see that? Having been in Pitch1 for Foo Fighters I'd gladly pay an extra tenner to be in there

    Didn't manage to get Pitch 1 for the Foos, what was like?
    Was on pitch 2 but couldn't see much (I'm a shortie) Still had a ball though!

    Definitely up for this and will try for Pitch 1 for sure! Have waited patiently since the 90s to get to chance to see Weezer live! Ek!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,136 ✭✭✭endainoz


    I don't think a presale code would be necessary here. I'll probably go but will also wait till closer to the date. Only just recently forked out cash for EP next year so funds are a little light.

    They probably won't play anything off Pinkerton.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,589 ✭✭✭circular flexing


    Just checked ticket prices for Seattle (closest one to me) - $216.30 for GA after all the TM fees. Good night.

    I know, that wouldn't bother me too much. Serious missed opportunity if El Scorcho isn't on setlist though what with the Green Day reference.

    Incredible. It's all personal but I wouldn't go to most gigs if I had pitch 2. You can end up so far back unless you're in early and it can really get rammed. That said, some have had great experiences.

    With Pitch 1, you can stand near the back and still be super close without being enveloped in a huge crowd. It's incredibly worth it. You can move around pretty handily too.

    Why are American concerts so ****ing expensive?

    Perfect, Nice and easy to get within 30 yards of the stage, with enough space to get out and back if you need a drink or toilet break. Nothin obscuring views, and decent set of fans (seeing as you were around the first 5,000 people who bought tickets so in theory all fans)

    Foos didn't charge for this! Incredibly worth it? It's incredibly stupid to accept this and that's why there is an increase in this practice tbh, friend of mine is 5 foot nothing so is pretty much obligated to have to cough up for her to be able to simply see.

    I'm not saying that I agree with the practice but where it comes down to it, I'm happy to pay a little more to be much closer. So yes, incredibly worth it.

    If they were seated areas, the closer seats would cost more, so it's not wildly out of practice. I'm not going to get pitch two tickets :out of principle' or because I'd be 'stupid to accept it' because I want to be as close as I can and not be miles back unless I turn up bang on doors opening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    I'm really surprised there aren't clear prices up for the different ticket types yet...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,427 ✭✭✭Shedite27

    I assume its because they're going to suprise us with cheaper prices :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    I'd imagine gold circle will be around the 100 mark.

    Pit tickets for their show in LA were 700$......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    Nope a hope it'll be anywhere near that here, what was the starting price for the american shows?

    Standing in paris was 80 with seating 100

    expect GC here to be touching that

    They had tickets at $40. You're right though, circa 100 for standing I'd say here.

    Not true if you wanted to be on front of stage barrier say you'd have to turn up at doors even with Gold circle, at a regular show getting up close if you want is never an issue even if you arrive before main act comes on. Seating is different you have a reserved a fixed spot with no obstructions and goes without saying...you can sit :p

    wouldn't go pitch 2 again unless was a cheap/freebie near the time.

    They're not. They're the polar opposite.

    I've paid $25 to see the likes of Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead and a dozen other bands at one festival ..and same for Korn, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God etc.. at another.

    Foo Fighters with Weezer was also only $35.

    I don't know where the other poster saw $200+ for the Hella Mega gig.. they start at $39.50.

    He saw VIP tickets.

    I had a look at the US gigs last night, they had far more variation. Probably 20 price points. Everything from $30/$40 in the top tiers to $300 for the best seats

    Gold Circle €99 + fees
    Pitch €89 +fees

    Just got mine there.

    Bear in mind there is a Green Day presale at 11am and then MCD tomorrow - probably small allocations for all 3 pre sales.
