Just tried 3 presale.
Again all behind offered was the €186 tickets. Not a sign of any €96 or €166 for that matter.
But Aiken don’t give a sh*t if there’s demand and won’t answer any questions on Twitter. They should have to show a map of the ticket prices though to show the different pricing structures. Guessing there’s only a handful of the €96 tickets.

I got offered €166 and probably should have taken them because by the looks of it the €96 don’t exist. And if they do there must be 10 in the very back row because that’s where the €166 ones were.

Got the Presale code for family. 200 quid a ticket? Not a chance. Not. A. Chance.

I mean, each to their own. I had a debate with others before about the price of Eddie Vedder tickets. My angle was "It's up to a person to pay what they want". And I still think that. Nobody's putting a gun to anyone's head to buy tickets but holy moly that's a LOT of money.

Finally a bit of sense! She should be run out of the country for charging those prices.

They’re putting up a big screen outside by the Luas stop, tickets for €96.

Sheog · 02-10-2019 11:02am

Sigh, it's an absolute joke! I've been trying with the 3 Presell for the past hour and keep getting the same seats in block N or Block H. I am not willing to spend €200 a ticket to be sitting up in the sky scrapers with my elderly parents!

By the sounds of things people aren’t buying them at those prices. So they may have no choice but to drop them. Stronger together and all that! :-D

what the hell! · 02-10-2019 11:31am

The same thing happened with Taylor Swift. They had loads of tickets left and they literally started handing them out. Different with Croke Park though. They had to try fill that.

There is no chance they will drop the prices.
Gig isn't on for 11 months so they would nearly a year to sell them.
Fans would be of the "older" generation and probably have more money than a Taylor Swft fan.
2 concerts will be a hard sell at those prices though.

H8GHOTI · 02-10-2019 11:47am

I went to Dave Chapelle (comedian) last year. Ticket prices were stupid. The good seats were being sold as Platinum and did not sell. About a week before the show, still loads left. They dropped the prices.
I ended up getting seats in the second row of block F for €90 each, originally they had been around €140. Celine Dion will be more popular than him but it’ll be interesting to see what happens. Can not see it selling out on Friday anyway.

They will drop the prices as it gets closer. The same thing happened with taylor swift, 2 nights in croker and the cheapest tickets were over 100e. The sold the vip ones way cheaper and there was loads on donedeal going cheap. It makes zero sense to buy a ticket for this now as it’s never going to sell out and you might get one cheaper closer to the gig.

They have a year to sell them.
There will be early buyers now, buyers for Christmas presents for next few months and then the hard sell with posters, ads etc and that will last for at least 6 months after that.
The premium tickets would be only ones sold for a discount by the promoter and that would be a couple of weeks before the gig and would be sold at the normal price for tickets.

May be "cheap" on sale by buyers on Done Deal etc for various reasons
but that wouldn't happen for a while yet.
People would need to keep their wits about them if buying from a secondary source as the gig is so far away.

It will easily sell out ,its only 20,000 tickets .

People would have no issues paying 150 euro for crap seats in Croke Park .
200 is steep but its a much better concert in the 3arena than outdoors.

Me personally I wouldn't pay 200 euro for any ticket ,its simply not worth it but other people will.

I will probably wait till a month before the gig and pick up one of the unsold floor platinum tickets if the missus really wants to go .

Sottol · 02-10-2019 6:54pm

I would imagine come Friday morning all will go with the exception of the VIP Packages and “Platinum” tickets..
I paid €403 the other morning in Presale for 2, didn’t think that was bad at all. Saw her in Vegas a few years ago, it was $900 for 2

Smokie399 · 02-10-2019 7:30pm

Scandalous amount of money for tickets to be sitting up in the top tier. Personally I love celine Dion and her music but there isn’t a snow balls chance in hell I’d pay €400 for 2 tickets on a Monday or Tuesday nite. Add in accomadation for the nite and food etc and you’d have a long weekend for 2 abroad. Greedy promoters is what this is and sadly some people will buy them no matter what the price. People could justify €300 for 2 tickets just about but even that would be dear and anything more than that is just completely taking the piss

Cher tickets are €186 across the board. They haven’t dropped prices and looking like it’s close a to sell out so people are willing to pay those prices unfortunately. At least MCD didn’t advertise any seemingly non existent €96 tickets as Aiken have done.

"At least MCD didn’t advertise any seemingly non existent €96 tickets as Aiken have done".

My sister in law got 2 tickets for €96 yesterday in the three presale.

H8GHOTI · 03-10-2019 2:58pm

You know what block and row she got? Curious.

For the price they are pretty good seats.
Would have expected the €96 to be Upper corners at the back.

It’s a restricted corner view - the corners are always less €€€ than up the back in the centre and surrounding blocks

H8GHOTI · 03-10-2019 9:36pm

Ya I’m guessing the seat numbers are 200+, rather than the more central part of that block.
Still though, close enough to the stage, doubt the view will be that bad and there could be people sitting a few feet away paying €161.

Clareman · 04-10-2019 9:04am

A girl in work is looking for tickets for this, is there any pre-sale code available?

Presale is finished, general sale begins at 10am

peejay1986 · 04-10-2019 10:03am

15th sold out already?

EDIT: Can't get any two, at all.

okidoki987 · 04-10-2019 10:08am

Both sold out according to a mate who was looking!
That was quick.

Was sold out at 10:01

phunkadelic · 04-10-2019 10:09am

Fake sold out, so they can push people towards platinum and VIP packages

peejay1986 · 04-10-2019 10:09am

Hopefully another date added. Fingers crossed anyway.

leahyl · 04-10-2019 10:11am

Not a hope of getting the 96e ones. Hoping she comes to Pairc Ui Chaoimh...stranger things have happened!

This just shows that no matter the ticket price they set for her or others they will always sell out one or two nights. This reinforces their decision for their prices and the next big name to come will also have prices at this level.
For every person who was disgusted at the price and said no way there was another person waiting to snap them up

Have a look at the amount of tickets under the 'VIP packages'. THey will try to sell them first, and when no-one buys, they will be drip feed to general sale at normal price:

Same for platinum:

This is the new business model for TM, since they closed seatwave.

The Megaphone · 04-10-2019 10:47am

Madness - middle of Block P (3rd Seating Tier) in as VIP Package seating?

Well, you do get a poster, an exclusive VIP Tour laminate and lanyard included with your seat for just €299.

H8GHOTI · 04-10-2019 11:08am

Those on about Platinum and VIP are bang on. This is nowhere near sold out. Nearly half the tickets were put aside for these. Between that and the two presales, probably not a lot of normal tickets available this morning.
And whatever about front rows, upper tier shouldn’t be VIP. That’s a bit much. Paying nearly twice the price as someone next to you for a bit of merch.

H8GHOTI · 04-10-2019 11:18am

Some tickets starting to appear now for both nights, if anyone still looking.

Does anyone else hate the layout of Ticketmaster now? You can’t select what section you want, it already shows up what’s available.

This morning when the countdown was on, I was able to select ‘flat seating’ and search but now I can’t do that when I go back in.

No luck for me anyway! Phone and computer both at 10am on the dot and no flat seating, but of course I expected this.

I’ll try again around March/April time. I just can’t comprehend how people are paying these prices. But maybe they are not....maybe these tickets are being held.

I hate it too.. I very nearly accidentally bought 2 X rubbish tickets for €200 each because I was refreshing over and over to try to get better seats and the search button and the purchase button are both in the same place and both green.

Wheety · 04-10-2019 12:04pm

You're right about the VIP tickets eventually falling to standard. But the standard price is almost €200 including TM's fee. I had a look the other day through the fan presale and was something like Row 45 in Block M for that price. The 'cheap' ones must be a few in the far corners. I reckon you'd miss some of the stage up there. The don't even use them for some shows.

Zardoz · 17-02-2021 1:39pm

Celine Dion has pushed her tour back to 2022.
Dublin dates are now Jun 1-2, a Wednesday and Thursday.

jamieh · 14-10-2021 1:54pm

Hi all - I'm about to buy resale tickets from a seller on adverts, but seems to only include the lanyard tickets (with barcode, seat numbers, etc)? Could someone with tickets confirm if you also got paper tickets to accompany the lanyards, or will the lanyards alone suffice? Thanks!

Celine Dion
