Only 10,000 tickets for this apparently.
Do ye reckon it would be sold out by Friday afternoon?
Working half nine Friday morning.

i think their hype has died down a bit but who knows if if it'll sell out fast. it probably will. i couldnt believe kings of leon sold out two gigs not too mention selling them out so fast.

Those tickets will fly out. Especially since they've released another album since their last gig here.

did they not play oxegen? their album was out before that wasnt it? :confused:

Didn't go to Oxegen.

I know they playde two gigs in March to promote the album a few days before it was released.

yep the girlfriend had a ticket for one of the olympia gigs and said it was great. thing is shes not too bothered about going to see them again now.
(she likes to see a band once - i like to see them over and over again if theyre good enough ie foo fighters - we're at loggerheads over that one too!:))

so the question we all need answering is will all those who saw them only a few months back go see them again?

plus theres gonna be apile of gigs on and around that gig as well like ian brown etc...that might take from the ticket sales?

I reckon they'll go quickly. I have a mate trying to get two tickets for myself and the missus tomorrow morning as soon as they go on sale anyway

I was online at 8.45 and still didn't manage to get them - they just went like that.. If anyone has any spare tickets (even just one) please PM me.. Genuine fan here! :(

Gutted.
Really gutted.
Was a delayed (ie overdue) birthday present for the girlf. About 6 or 7 ahead of me in the queue but it was the credit cards that knackered us.
Needless to say I'll sexually satisfy anyone who can help me out on this one.

I had the tickets but the laptop wouldn't allow me to proceed as it wasn't a secure page...

Out of roughly 30 people I know who tried to get them, nobody suceeded.

Haven't heard from my mate about them yet, so either he got them and went back to bed, or else didn't get them. I'm hoping he would have texted if he didn't get them, but it's probably a blind hope

i got one. havent seen them yet so it better be good.

rumours of a 2nd date abound!

I saw them at Electric Picnic two years back and they were easily the second best band there. Might sound like a slight on them, until you hear that Kraftwerk were number one

All for the intimate gigs but maybe they should have just played a bigger venue.
The demand was obviously going to be there for a second gig. It sounds like there could have been even less than the 10,000 rumoured.
Is there any chance they could be pulling some scheme of staggered ticket selling such as I've heard now occurs with that Witness circus?

The girlfriend will love that...
Hmmmmm.

Faithful Risteard versus Win Butler.

Its a tough one.

Risteard

14/08/2007, 1:21 AM

Wait in line . . . . . . . . . . . to be shafted.

Ian Brown is playing the big top aswell and there's only 5,000 tickets for it so that might be the problem there alright.

Queued up from half seven for them - was eventually sixth in the queue (after some skipping in line) in front of some annoying woman. Strange experience.

Apparently after gigs they play in the car park - is that bull****?

MojoPin

they play in some strange places after gigs but these ones are usually to smaller crowds.. check youtube when they play in a lobby after a gig...

I got one on ebay for €130 - I think it is worth it though.. None of my friends got one either though so I'll be be a bit of a Billy no mates.

You're feeding the market man, though I understand why you'd want to see them so badly. You might have made it to Rock on Seine for that amount to see them & other acts.:confused:

I've never paid over the odds for tickets before but I just had to do it this time.

Can i have them?

Yes. And yes.

Does anybody know whereabouts in the Phoenix Park the Big Top is going to be situated?

I've heard it's supposed to be beside the Visitor's Centre http://www.dublintourist.com/details/phoenix_park_visitor_centre.shtml#map like for the RHCP gig a few years ago.

If so, it's gonna be some bleedin walk!!!

Oddly I forgot this was on tonight, and have just realised that I can hear the whole thing from my house in Castleknock, they just got through playing Intervention and it sounds like they are going into Wake Up

It was a great gig too. They really put on a good show. And for once in their live MCD actually put a bit of effort into the organisation. Oh and they served Becks in the bar instead of the usual Budp1ss.

Yeah tickets were available off touts and I saw a couple of people trying to get rid of some too. I reckon it shouldn't be difficult to get your hands on tickets at cost price.

They were amazing gigs. Went up early enough to get into the pit last night - 'Headlights look like Diamonds' was my highlight. 'Power Out' was also fantastic!

went on wednesday last...
pretty impressed.
thought the band put on a very good show...1st time seeing them too..
the sound wasnt great though, given the surroundings i suppose that was to be expected

Top notch. The musical talent there is scarey. Big exchange of instruments after nearly every song.
