Sharing codes can have results, sometimes ticket cancellations, i won’t be risking that, especially as its only $20 annually for the membership, its includes hi res files of his complete back catalogue also.

As in HD quality music you can download?

There's no way this will happen for this gig. If there was pitch seating in-front of pitch standing, it would've been available in the NYA pre-sale. He's very particular on his Archives website having access to the best seats for presales.

No golden circle at NY, he does not do these,
But thats not to say there won’t be a section in front of the stage, for the early arrivals at the gig, this was in place for the Springsteen gigs there, and worked very well.

There is a Golden Circle and Diamond Circle at his Hyde park gig.

He says gig was announced before he 100% agreed, he then demanded the sponsor be withdrawn which it was. It doesent normally happen at his gigs though. Tickets had already been sold, it wasn’t possible to chage the tiering- apparently !

That's just a standard pit though, no? Same as any large outdoor gig, for crowd control more than anything else.

Appreciate a presale code too if anyone has one??

hannah9 · 14-12-2018 6:58pm

What is the pre-sale ran through? Where do you gain access to codes?

Neil Young Archives site - it's $20 annual sub, but you get presale codes for all his gigs, which is worth it for something like this.

hannah9 · 14-12-2018 7:29pm

thanks,i think I'll do that now. The presale is still running yes?

Squall Leonhart · 14-12-2018 7:44pm

If anybody willing to share a presale code, please PM it to me

Saw Neil Young twice before, 2008 in Malahide and the 2013 gig in RDS, which left a bitter taste, so hoping to remedy that!

Pay the 20$ and don't be so tight.

Neil did a great gig in The 3 Arena two years ago with The Promise of the Real.

Some of the critics claimed it was self indulgent but if you appreciate
listening to guitar you would've loved it.
I'm sure there's only so many golden oldies he can play before he becomes demented.

I bought 2 tickets to see Neil and Bob in Hyde park before they announced Kilkenny gig. Is there any way I can swap these?

Anyone ever do that?

The same happened me last year with Paul Simon. However I had just bought flights for myself and my wife when they announced Dublin.

There were people beside me in Hde Park that came from California because at the time it looked like it could be Paul Simon's last concert. I was thinking would Hyde Park be paying something extra to get the first announcement.

If you dont have flights bought you could check Ticketmaster customer service. I actually find them quite good when calling them.

Thanks, I sent an email yesterday to AXS support after getting it from Facebook so will see if they can do anything and I will mail Ticketmaster as well.

I’ve said it before on here, but i’l say it again, one final time.

Its not advisable to share presale codes, tickets can get cancelled,and i know of people on other presales, who had ALL their tickets cancelled, due to breaches of the rules i.e. making multiple purchases, using the same code.

The idea is that fan members of NY Archives, get tickets, and it is used only once. The codes issued, are unique, so multiple purchases on the same code, are easily traceable back to the member.

I wouldn’t like to see anyone caught out on this.

That's a load of bull. I've shared and received several presale codes for various bands as I go to alot of concerts each year and never heard of what you talking about or had tickets cancelled. Do you think they really follow how many times the codes are used. There is usually a limit like 2 or 4 tickets per code and that's it. All they care about is that the tickets are sold and go to fans rather than touts. Which is the way it should be.
Artists asking people to pay to join fan clubs to get presale codes is wrong as far as i'm concerned e.g. fans are already having to pay over a hundred euros each for tickets for this gig and then you have to pay another 18 euros to get a code to buy tickets early. Sorry but that's wrong in my book.

Anyway guess I'll have to wait until Monday to try and get a ticket.

Hard to tell. Tickets are expensive and its close to christmas. So funds maybe low for alot of people. But then again its Neil Young & Bob Dyaln together so alot of people will have an interest in both so will find the money for tickets.

Thanks again, have placed an add and hopefully will be able to work something out.
Great to know about that site anyway, have ended up in the past not being able to
get rid of tickets.

PTH2009 · 15-12-2018 9:49pm

just cant justify paying that much for a seated ticket (€181, €156), its not like the seats in Nowlan Park are wonderful they are glorifed bucket seats

might try for a standing ticket closer to the day if i can go

Zimmerframe · 15-12-2018 9:55pm

Big fan of both, especially Bob, seen both twice, but don't think I will bother this time.
Saw Dylan in London about 20 years and he was woeful, I was near the back and he was lit by what seemed like a candle.
The only evidence, that I was at the great Bob Dylan was the ticket stub.
Decided a few years ago when he played the 3 Arena, to give him another go, and hopefully erase the memories of the previous show, it didn't.

Former Former · 15-12-2018 10:44pm

Bob Dylan puts on a great gig but it's not what a lot of people expect. The songs bear no resemblance to the album versions and I've seen him four times but have never once seen him play a guitar, only keyboard. So it depends what you want from the show, it's never going to be a Greatest Hits.

If this was indoors, I'd be all over it but I'm struggling to picture it on a summer evening in a GAA stadium tbh.

recyclebin · 16-12-2018 12:17am

Bought two 'print at home' tickets this afternoon as Christmas presents. Still no link to print them out yet. Anyone get their link yet?

I think the opposite, most people get what they expect, but don't think it's a great gig.

Noticed this. Wondered if maybe comes on board when general sale up and running. Didn't panic......yet!!

sirmanga · 17-12-2018 1:16am

A lot of people online, on radio, in the media etc. seem to be under the impression that this is Dylan and Young "together" on stage.

This will be like the Dylan and Knopfler tour from a few years back where they played separate sets. Wish people would stop saying "together" on stage.

Yeah, it's more a co-headliner. I suppose there is a chance Young could join Bob and his band for a song (can't see it the other way around) but the odds are very slim!

I hope both get to do a full show!

Also hope nobody grumbles about Boh not sounding like his 21 year old blowin' in the wind self and Neil been indulgent on guitar solos. Slim odds again unfortunately! Ugh!

Neil doesn't do as much of the OTT guitar solos(which I like btw) without Crazy Horse.
The gig in the point with Promise of Real had some of it but not half as much as the Crazy Horse RDS gig a few years previous.

Yeah, I totally agree with ye!

Mind you there was still people in the RDS raging that he didn't play Heart of Gold or Four Strong Winds despite the gig been Neil Young and Crazy Horse! All the pissing and moaning on the way out was amusing to a degree. No talk of how incredible Cortez the Killer was or playing Blowin In the Wind and Needle & the Damage Done to please the acoustic loving contingent!?!

Mind you the RDS is a diabolical venue on a windy day and Neil and Crazy Horse suffered as a result that day. Seen the same thing happen to Bruce. I won't be going back to that venue anytime soon!

Thundercats Ho · 17-12-2018 10:15am

Got 3 pitch standing. Happy Christmas indeed..

oopsies · 17-12-2018 10:15am

Did anyone get the 76 euro ones? Getting them for my partner and Mother in Law so need seated but 180 quid!!?? No ****ing way!

Comerman · 17-12-2018 10:45am

Could only get standing for €100 the 76 stand could be hit and miss the front seats would be at ground level so you'd probably see ****all with the pitch full

oopsies · 17-12-2018 10:51am

Anyone find a seating plan? Contemplating the expensive tickets but I need to know they are in a really good spot!

Thundercats Ho · 17-12-2018 11:16am

See post 33
Some of the most expensive tickets appear to be uncovered, so bring a raincoat, as it'll be July in Ireland..

InsideatAnimo · 17-12-2018 12:12pm

Sorry to be stupid, but I did look at the seat plan on Post 33...

Tickets which indicate "GRASA H seats x...y" is that way at the end furthest from the stage??

sally cinnamon89 · 17-12-2018 12:40pm

Got a standing ticket for the aul lad this morning no bother, I will be abroad so cant make it. Hopefully the good Dylan will show and Neil will be up to his usual antics

Thundercats Ho · 17-12-2018 12:43pm

Here's the seating plan from ticketmaster.

GRASA H seats x...y
That's Ardan De Gras block H row x..y
Your seats would be at the end where the stage is.
x&y are in the blue section so covered, and close to the front of that section. Good seats.

Ticketmaster posted the seating plan about an hour after tickets went onsale. I also posted a link to the seating plan (post 33) not to mention again two posts above yours!

Ridiculous! :pac:

biddy21 · 18-12-2018 4:00pm

Did anyone get tickets for €76? I logged onto ticketmaster at 9.01 and the cheapest ones available were €100. Just wondering was there any available at €76?
