    Got flat seats for the second night. Very happy with that.
    They clearly jumped the gun listing it too early and then putting it up again.

    Looking at Viagogo, people have paid some insane prices for tickets on there if they are right, €750 for Flat seating, €600 for Block D, Block A €350. :eek:

    Viagogo are truly evil.
    They pay Google to be top of searches for tickets ,so unwitting people get redirected there.

    It would have said on Ticketmaster on Friday that general sale was today ,but alot of people unfortunately think Viagogo are an official site and they probably never even made it to Ticketmaster.
    Nobody should buy anything on Viagogo,their business practices are vile.

    It was listed at about 9.15 but I got an error when trying to get tickets .
    I couldnt actually get tickets until around 9.45.
    Managed to get 2 flat seats in row A ,right bang in the middle after searching for 10 minutes.:)

    The second night seems to be struggling .

    TM had to make back lost revenue from the loss of seatwave.

    This is their ploy-cut resale sites out of the picture and tout tickets directly on TM under the guise of 'vip', 'up close and personal' etc. Same seats at quadruple the price

    It'll be more a slow burner, but I expect it to be gone by the time of the gig. The same thing happened with Elton John's shows last summer: the second one was added and there was still good availability, even close to the time, but it did sell out, and ticket were comparable to Genesis. Plus, like Phil, he sits down all night. ;):):D

    When looking earlier there was 500+ tickets for the 2nd night and it's now down to 260.

    Was expecting a 2nd gig, was quite obvious after almost all the UK venues added another date.

    So, wasn’t happy with the choice available on either the 1st gig :3 Presale, or the MCD presale, but a much better choice for the 2nd gig this morning, was going to go for €109.50, but felt they were just too far away, but eventually got 1 in section F row 11, for €159.50, don’t normally pay anywhere near that much, but its a one off and rare event.

    Got a ticket for the second night. It is one of the relatively cheap ones, high up, but that's fine.
    Starting to worry now about what they will play. As you might guess, I'm a fan of the A Trick Of The Tail era and I'm hoping for a decent selection from around that time.

    A lot of it depends on what Phil can sing. I mean, Dance on a Volcano would be a very long shot, but Ripples is probably guaranteed, and I could see them doing Los Endos too, even without the double drums. Phil may like the idea of Nic getting to showcase his prowess on some of the seventies material.

    Got tickets in P block. I was over in H for a UFC event and it wasn't great but a gig will be better I hope since I don't have to see them the whole time to enjoy it!

    Can't believe they didn't get Steve Hackett for the reunion. He was the one who always wanted a reunion!.

    Anyway expect Genesis 'pop lite' version.


    Doubt anything will be played from Selling England by the pound which is their best album by a mile. 70's their output was unreal, experimental, classical, skilled, progressive, amazing changes.


    The prices for the tickets are insane, some €700 tickets on ticketmaster is utterly absurd.

    Total and complete fleecing.

    I hate this 'oh it's a once off thing' so we can charge whatever the hell we want.
    A concert is still just a concert.

    Still going but know I'm getting the pop lite Genesis.

    Thats been the lineup of Genesis for more than 40 years, since the late 70’s, so hardly a surprise Hacket, who hasn’t played with them since ‘77 ish, is not there. I am sure they will dip into the pre ‘80’s output, but not that often i would think.

    Oh would harden up a little, people will exploit when something is in demand like this it's just life.

    And anyway Ticketmaster are worse, they have tickets up for €700 'officially' priced tickets.


    Ticketmaster tout like crazy then have the nerve to say don't use tout sites. The nerve of these priks beggars belief!.

    Viagogo and co can't hold a candle to ticketmaster in ripping people off

    Anyone who can't see the VIP packages are a rip off are away with the fairies.

    No doubt it.

    Despite selling England by the pound being amazing it's a odd very non pop album

    Many going won't have heard of songs like Dacning with the Moonlit Knight.

    they did quite a bit of the older stuff on their last reunion tour. Maybe they'll bring Hackett on as a guest on one of the UK dates (though I get the impression the others still hold his departure against him to some degree, so maybe not).

    Hackett is on tour at the same time and he is the one with bit of chip on shoulder its allways the 5 piece or 3 piece line up never 4 piece. Last time all 4 were on board and wanted Peter but when Peter said no Hackett was also dropped. Even the last documentary glossed over the 4 piece era of the band and Hacketts career.

    It's sad but 4 piece line up doesn't get much praise or interest

    Steve Hackett's touring band is amazing. They put on a fantastic show at Vicar Street a couple of years ago.

    Latest tour is a rework of "Seconds Out" the stunning 70s live album when they were a 4 piece.

    Unfortunately I don't think they're coming to Ireland this time round. Still tickets and flights to a European or UK venue would be cheaper than some of Genesis ticket prices

    the 4 piece lineup would be very awkward. With Collins singing they'd have to do all the hits, what would Hackett do on the likes of Invisible Touch? He'd be a spare wheel.

    If they had all 5 members, some sort of "Genesis Revue" would be interesting, where they could cover the various eras of the band, maybe some mini solo sets and then come together at the end to do a bit of The Lamb, or Supper's Ready; but as mentioned earlier, Gabriel's not interested in going back to that stuff.

    I don't think anyone seriously considers Hackett rejoining the band for a full set, but what about part of the set? We're still eight months away, the set list is not finalised, and pigs might fly ... :P

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Steve was asked if the band had been in contact and he said no. I would imagine the same case for Peter.
