More of a personal thing and adapting to the current life

I dunno why you'd be buying tickets for gigs. Totted it up the other week and we were refunded about 80% of what we paid for tickets; over a grand, for all the gigs cancelled this year. There were three scheduled this week just gone alone, the bastards still pop up in my calendar. I doubt venues and artists will be able to afford to be that generous next year. Fair dues for supporting the industry and staying so optimistic I guess.

JvmcM puts on a tremendous live performance. He's always releasing stuff, such a grafter and gets better with age. Seen him six times though so he can definitely wait.

I'd absolutely die on the spot seeing Doves live. They've been among my favourites forever, since I was about 9. I can wait though.

John Spillane is doing an online gig on Thursday, sound biy, really looking forward to it. I was busking as part of a charity group on the Coal Quay a few years ago and he just rocked up with the guitar unannounced and joined in. He'd been busking up the road for charity so we all joined together and made buckets of money for penny dinners.

Tickets there, we paid full prices even though we're half unemployed. He's worth it. Enjoy

quite a few would be fond of the owl hard drugs and drink. Social distancing would also not be part of their culture. Seriously though he would have a rough enough following but all his fans aren't like that

Teenagers and young adults love him, i was on a bus down to when he supported Liam Gallagher last year and most were only there for Gerry

I got an email today to tell me about John Bishops Irish dates for 2021 2022.

Yip, thats right folks. 2022!

That must be a new record for selling tickets in advance.

Its quite a common thing for comedies to announce shows/tours way in advance. Not sure of the reason but maybe its a creative one (announce the tour a year or 2 before hand and write it then)

Elton John I think announced his dublin 2020 (now 2021) shows in 2018

Yea i think Peter Kay did the same and his Irish dates were close to 2 years away

Little Mix have announced a UK and Ireland tour for next April and May.
The 3Arena is pencilled in for April 28th.
Bit ridiculous announcing a tour when there is almost no chance of it going ahead as scheduled.

We'll see a lot of that in the next few months. Get people buying the tickets and then postpone. Then they have your money on the books.

It seems like a cash grab to be honest.
Their last tour was only last October and November and before that it was Oct/Nov 2017.
Very odd going back on tour only 18 months after the last tour considering the current climate.

.

Its exactly what it is. Trying to get a refund on a flight at the moment and its been ongoing since March. "We'll respond within the next 60-90 days" sort of stuff. So its taken them since March to reply to two emails. Still no refund. My 2K is still sat in their bank account so it looks like they're more liquid than they are.

Same for promoters etc. Otherwise they have no business at all.

Heilung are due to play Dublin next year, 10th Dec 2021.

They're in the National Stadium- has anyone been for a gig there before? I'd like to book seats but don't know what section to opt for- the incline doesn't look great and am concerned about view being blocked by standing folk. Thinking of B D or F but would love to hear how others got on as I've never been before.

I was wondering if the numbers will just be limited and seating spaced out more!! My girls are mad about them and get tickets to all their shows, so unfortunately they will be asking for these tickets for xmas so have to get them!! but i am super curious as to how it'll be done, I've already had load of gigs pushed to next year

I think they will be doing selling it on full capacity basis on the hope that it can go ahead but I'm not 100% sure. Whatever about gigs which have already sold and have been rescheduled, it seems mad they could sell tickets on that basis but guess they could always reschedule or cancel again. Think it could be to get cash in the bank for a while.

As far as I'm aware, like the other poster said, these are being sold at full capacity. While it seems bizarre to think that we'd be able to return to normal by April, they obviously want to secure sales. This is probably especially relevant to an act like Little Mix, who had to cancel their 2020 summer tour around local UK outdoor venues which gave them a nice boost over the last few years.

Most rescheduled concerts or new announcements seem to be putting October & November 2021 as their schedule, which seems a more reasonable timeframe.

Really hope we see the summer shows return in 2021

Didn't he barely sell out the bord gais last time? Still he's a guaranteed entertaining night out, I'll see how the world is in May.

He sold out 2 nights there quickly enough bar the VIP holdbacks.

Standing tickets for his Killarney gig on the last tour were 67 euro, the missus went with a few friends.
He is looking for over 100 euro for decent seats in Dublin this tour and most of the floor seems to be VIP seating at over 200 euro.
Absolutely ridiculous prices.

Balls. That puts a dampener on the chances of Sunstroke happening next year.

That was my first feeling after the gig was announced, unless they have another headliner instead (if it even goes ahead).

Save yourself the hassle and don't buy tickets for any gig announced next year yet.

Don't know how the organisers of longitude are hoping to pack thousands of people into a venue when things are still so uncertain.

None of these big gigs or festivals are going ahead without any insurance and theres no insurance company in the world who'll offer an insurance plan at the moment.

The only way they'll go ahead is if covid-19 is no longer an issue and I just don't know how they're planning for July gigs while we're been told the majority of us won't be vaccinated until late 2021.

I don't know how they're able to sell at all tbh with that issue. Understand it's always subject to license but seems very unlikely they will be able to go ahead when scheduled.

Fairly sure All Together Now didn't have a license last year and still went ahead.

If you're only looking to see one particular artist at Longitude, do you have to buy a full weekend ticket as they don't release the schedule yet? IF it even goes ahead.

Pretty much, only day breakdowns so far are for the headliners,

Although if there's one particular artist you're interested in maybe check out their websites tour date section and you may get lucky.

Usually have day breakdowns in the 2nd announcement or maybe this thursday before tickets go on sale.

There's some amount of optimism by promoters for these summer shows going ahead - or is just a case of it being easier to reschedule then cancel out weight and lose a lot of cash?

I really cannot see the likes of Longitude going ahead - sure none of the attendees would even be vaccinated at that point!

Unless they make everyone wear masks!?

Say it's basically getting cash in because they're hoping gigs will come back in summer 2022 either way.

Whatever about masks, don't think social distancing would be logistically possible with usual numbers on same site.

I think attendance at GAA games next year will be the bellweather but more chance of those games going ahead with reduced capacity say than gigs being sold at specific capacity.

DarMul17 · 14-12-2020 8:56pm

Could possible move towards etickets linked to clarification you have taken a vaccine.

A vaccine passport is not something I would rule out; nor do I not see it as being unreasonable.

I am cautiously optimistic, I'm about 10 percent happening, 90 percent not expecting anything happen. At the end of the day the money is what will be looked at, and that industry needs a stimulus. And I'm not talking about the artists or promoters, but the crew members, riggers, etc.

PTH2009 · 20-12-2020 2:45pm

Could we see a regional return for gigs mid/late 2021 ?

In regional i mean UK artists can play gigs all over the UK and Ireland only (vice versa for Irish artists). Plenty of options for European bands to tour mainland Europe

Taking Elton Johns tours for example who has scheduled dates for UK and Ireland throughout November/December 2021
