Stevie Wonder to play Dublin's 3Arena this summer https://jrnl.ie/4581281

He's been on my list for ages, (don't know why I'm even sharing this with you all.)

Tickets on sale this Friday at 9am
From €99.50

johnnyskeleton · 08-04-2019 10:10AM

Id love to see him, particularly as a heritage act in a festival, but I find that €100+ is just too much to pay for a gig!

Zardoz · 08-04-2019 11:25AM

€98.50 - €188.50

Stevie just called to say he loves Irish ticket prices.

rubadub · 08-04-2019 02:49PM

Don't forget the €7.15 service charge!

the 188.50 might not even be the highest. I think a few gigs have had higher prices than initially declared, pretty sure the rolling stones ones did not declare the price of the best pit tickets.

The boom is back.

rino87 · 08-04-2019 05:49PM

Fairly steep prices alright, I just can't see the point.......

whiteshorts · 08-04-2019 06:59PM

Gold Circle has been over taken now with DIAMOND Circle at 75% over the price of GC!
Boom is back for sure.
€105 for starting Irish price is a bit high all right but once off concert?

Mucky_Tackies · 09-04-2019 05:08PM

Massive fan for years. Sir Duke and Master Blaster live alone would be brilliant to see live. But 100 snots a ticket and shur, you'd hardly go alone so another 100 for the missus. Thats a lot of money

No chance we can pay him cash for the ticket, slip him 2 twenties and tell him they're 50s?

fryup · 09-04-2019 10:33PM

I'm not funny.

Pinkman · 09-04-2019 10:43PM

Legends always charge around this. Bruce has been charging 100 for standing for a decade.

Pinkman · 10-04-2019 09:05AM

Standing gone already. nightmare:mad:

Censored11 · 10-04-2019 09:25AM

Its sad the way big concerts have gone. Pre-sales and extortionate pricing.
I used to go to all the big gigs & would have loved to go see Stevie but I've been priced out of these events now.
Lucky you to the people who got tickets, have a great night!

Thundercats Ho · 10-04-2019 09:48AM

I just got 2 GA tickets.

I was there in 2010 and it was an excellent night.

I had no interest this time, but my brother who missed the last gig was looking for someone to go with him so I said, sure why not.

€273.30 for 2 standing tickets. I know i've no right to complain, as i'm the one who shelled out, but that's fúcking madness altogether.

No it hasn't. They're just trying to make you panic buy the more expensive shítty seated tickets at the back.

Not quite. 70 quid creeping up to 90 last time out.

Its the norm now for these big acts unfortunately.

WTF? I thought the were 99 each + fees?

The only €99 ones were the tiered seating at the sides, and they were sold out.
The standing were sold out too, strangely.
Then i got the option to buy 2 no. 3+ GA tickets for €273 incl fees. (GA are standing tickets)

It's possible the 3+ tickets i got were more expensive than the standing tickets in the general sale on Friday, i'm not sure about that tbh.

Third post in this thread ,prices €98.50 - €188.50

The from 98.50 is just the starting price and extremely misleading as there were probably only a handful of tickets at that price.

Mrcaramelchoc · 10-04-2019 01:36PM

Good man stevie no wonder its a party and you charging 100 euro a ticket.

Legend and all as he is, that's a disgusting amount of money for a concert.

keeponrockin · 11-04-2019 07:14PM

Just a heads up for anyone trying to guess pricing for this for the morning..was just on 3 presale link and there were single tickets available in blocks N, P and KK..Rows 40,42 etc so right at the back of the 3arena. All of these tickets were priced at ,€159 + booking fees so it seems if you want decent seats in the lower blocks your going to be paying just below €200 a ticket with the fees..crazy!!

chuky_r_law · 12-04-2019 12:37PM

i was looking forward to seeing him again since he played the last time. i think tickets then were €80ish. it was an excellent night.

but i can't justify going to this at that price. pity

And it seems a whole load of people thought the same as you this morning..the only seats available in the lower blocks (certainly in the app anyway) were in blocks A and G out at the sides and and at the full €189+ booking price. Of course when i found tickets in blocks C and D they were exclusively in the platinum package and were..wait for it..€450 each..gouging at its finest. Thanks ticketbastard but no thanks!!

Well at least you get a seat for that price ,its £324.95 to stand in the Diamond Circle in a park in London .:p

I just called to say I love You-ro's

Platinum tickets are dead, long live Platinum tickets.

rubadub · 12-04-2019 04:38PM

Currently there are no platinum tickets on sale, and the other tickets are only in the upper seated section or standing. No doubt this will change again.

The Princess Bride · 12-04-2019 06:04PM

I got my single standing ticket with ease this morning, so am delighted.
I don't think anyone is worth paying hundreds for, unless they're gonna perform in my living room, perhaps.

Lucifer31 · 13-04-2019 05:48AM

Got my two standing tickets, and am well happy. Gig is on the night of my birthday too. I didn't want to miss this (potentially last) chance for me to see him live.
The ticket price is very steep though...

okidoki987 · 13-04-2019 11:48AM

I would have gone but not at those prices, over €320 for 2 tickets. :eek:
There will be loads of tickets returned in next few days.
Loads on ***gogo which won't sell and because of the T/M guarantee (which gives the sellers a free get out card), these will be back on sale in a few days.
If the prices weren't so steep, they would have sold more tickets.
