Tickets from €59.70 according to Joe.ie

Who's excited? The new material is sounding great so far. Shame it's a Wednesday night though.

maximoose · 09-04-2019 12:11pm

Looking forward to it.

I'm a fan but didn't really enjoy the show at Forbidden Fruit a few years ago tbh, hoping indoor might be more suitable

09-04-2019 12:15pm

They were my highlight at ep in 2015(?)
Wednesday in Dublin is a nightmare for me but needs must!

Sell out do ye think?

I say standing tickets will sell out quick enough.
I'd be surprised if it would fully sell out right away though.

Wednesday is a nightmare for myself as I will probably be working. Also travelling from Cavan isn't ideal for me lol.

They were brilliant at EP a few years back. Late night in the tent and blew the place apart. Not the best venue but its the day I finish my exams so catch me there

Standing gone already. More than likely hoping to get rid of the seated areas first. I had no luck today hopefully Friday will be different.

Effects · 10-04-2019 4:20pm

Totally forgot about the presale. Damn. I probably wouldn't be bothered with the seated.

Weepsie · 10-04-2019 4:30pm

Aargh forgot about the presale! Don't want to sit for this

I think it is(ive yet to do it tbh) Just go downstairs for a "cigarette" and you will be on the ground floor

Weepsie · 12-04-2019 9:04am

Got my standing tickets. Phew.

Rothko · 12-04-2019 9:09am

Got one too. Delighted

Granite Head · 12-04-2019 9:10am

Seemed easy enough to get tickets this morning :cool:

beecee · 12-04-2019 9:21am

All gone now!

maximoose · 12-04-2019 9:24am

Still there, I added 2 to basket now just fine

marvin80 · 12-04-2019 9:27am

Yep, still available

Lotus Flower · 12-04-2019 9:47am

Sorted. Can't wait!

Effects · 12-04-2019 9:53am

Didn't get a standing ticket. Was offered seating at section GA1 ROW G3 SEAT 498.

Can't find on the seat plan but probably over in the corner miles away. I'll wait for the DVD of the concert instead.

Thanks!

Effects · 12-04-2019 9:57am

My mistake, went back and was offered standing.

Noelmcgov28 · 12-04-2019 10:12am

Got mine happy days! There's a resale on the web page too. Thank ****!

Effects · 12-04-2019 10:17am

My email says SectionGA2 G4 864. Confused as to whether I have a standing ticket or not now.
Can't seem to find this on the seating plan, if they did actually give me seating. Any one else know?

GA is General Admission which is standing. I have a GA2 ticket which is definitely for standing. I'm 95% sure it is.

That's what I'm hoping. I've contacted Ticketmaster so will wait for their confirmation.

100%, all GA tickets are standing and all in one section

That should be standing. I could be wrong but the 864 is for how many standing tickets are sold on the site.

For example your ticket is the 864th standing ticket to be sold.

Very confusing and misleading. But it is definitely standing.

Le Bruise · 12-04-2019 11:37am

Seem to be loads of tickets still available for this. Still in two minds as to whether or not to get them. Why must my favourite gigs be mid-week!!

I think part of it is that Irish people will pay higher prices and tolerate mid week gigs more than people in other countries, hence bands will play here on a wednesday so that they can play elsewhere at a weekend.

not really. there's 5 "weekdays/schoolnights" out of 7. we get plenty of weekend gigs too, but the likelihood is obviously that they'll fall on a weeknight.

look at any bands' tours and they'll be playing plenty of midweek gigs all over Europe or the UK too.

the idea that bands are schduling their trips across Europe or the world, with a view to playing in Ireland on Tuesday rather than Friday, is absolute nonsense.

Is this a serious post? There's loads of mid-week gigs elsewhere too

For this gig, Ticketmaster give you the option to resell your ticket for the same price or lower. I agree mid-week is a nightmare with work etc. wish it was on a weekend.

Conor Bourke · 12-04-2019 12:34pm

Also forgot about the presale but picked up three standing tickets at about 09:11, delighted with myself

What he says is true .
Dublin and London rarely get weekend gigs as these are two of the biggest markets in Europe .
The weekend dates are kept for less attractive markets to drive sales.

I totally disagree. There's a gig on almost every night of the week in London, sometimes multiple. One of my best friends lives in Amsterdam and same thing there, she's at midweek gigs all the time

Amsterdam is a big market too ,probably third in Europe behind London and Dublin .
Of course London has gigs on most nights of the week but the big acts tend to play indoor gigs midweek there so as to keep the weekend gigs for the weaker markets.

Take this weeks major tour announcement by Khalid.
Dublin on a Tuesday ,London on Tuesday and Wednesday .
Glasgow on Friday,Birmingham on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday.
Its no coincidence that the weekend dates are reserved for the 3 weakest markets .

The Lumineers tour also went on sale today ,Dublin and Glasgow are getting a Friday gig ,Manchester Sunday and London ..a Wednesday .

In a largely festival tour, standalone indoor gigs are likely gonna be midweek due to slots being used at weekends by festivals

Le Bruise was commenting on the fact that most of his favourite bands play midweek here. My point is that people in Ireland pay for mid week gigs and so get mid week gigs. They also pay more than people in other European cities.

Very often youll see a band playing here mid week and sure enough theyre in London at the weekend. Its a lot rarer, IMO, to see them play london midweek and here at the weekend.

so Dublin is getting a Friday night, and Manchester is getting a "schoolnight" gig, completely negating your point

they're playing Madrid on a Saturday night, no doubt a big market.
playing midweek gigs in Hamburg and Utrecht, which I can't imagine are bigger markets than Madrid...

paying more is a separate issue.

you'll see them here midweek and in London at the weekend as that's the natural route. They'll play in Belguim/Netherlands/France midweek then as that's the easiest route for trucks/shortest travel time.
although your assertion is completely at odds with Zardoz's that they play in London midweek...

there's a 5/7 chance they'll play on a "weeknight" here. or anywhere.

Anne-Marie is here on Saturday 1st June.
Michael Buble is here on Friday 7th June.
David Blaine on a Saturday 8th June.

there's nothing booked for the whole midweek 2nd-5th.
there's nothing booked on Sunday 9th/Monday 10th.

why put those gigs on at the weekend and keep the middle of the week free?

even looking through the 3Arena dates, it's a mix, mostly weeknight gigs, but some weekend gigs too.

The Eagles playing Saturday and Monday. why not Sunday and Tuesday?

Cher on a Friday.
Sigrid on a Friday....

Anne Marie is playing a Saturday night because the 3Arena is by far the biggest venue on her tour so it needs a weekend date.
Likewise Sigrid and David Blaine.

Bubles gigs in the 3Arena are the most expensive on his UK and Ireland tour so again from a promoters point of view higher risk so need a better date .
Chers tickets are astronomical money so again higher risk .

If an event is viewed to be a higher risk it will get a better day of the week ,if its a hot ticket it will be a midweek gig .

So you're changing your story and it's not down to the biggest markets but whether a gig is risky/ too expensive?

Arghus · 12-04-2019 7:16pm

It's total nonsense to suggest there's some sort of conspiracy to have mid week gigs here instead of elsewhere. I've been to loads of weekend gigs over the years.

And maybe ticket prices are expensive here, but people seem to consistently conveniently foget that we're an island that takes a bit of extra money, effort and time to get in and get out of compared to mainland Europe. The UK is an island too, but people, usually play a few gigs there to make it a bit more lucrative than here.

Le Bruise · 12-04-2019 11:04pm

I seem to have kicked off quite the heated debate. Mid week or no, I gots me a ticket...roll on June 26th, can’t wait!

Its not a conspiracy at all. In fact, your second paragraph is exactly the point. As a smaller market we have to pay a little bit more and live with getting the less desireable nights for a gig. We pay more and accept mid week gigs over weekends. Thats the price we pay for being an island off the west coast of Europe.

The alternative is we dont get these gigs. But that doesnt disprove the argument that Dublin will not be the number one location for bands

Sorry but it is total nonsense. I've been to many gigs on a Friday and Saturday over the years. Besides, those who work regular Monday to Friday hours don't make up the whole working population. A midweek gig to those in shift work, etc, is the same as a weekend gig for a regular Monday to Friday worker.
