Got 2 in the upper hogan, had to go through the online queue twice, starting at 15 minutes or more both times!
First time I specified pitch tickets, second time I went with best available
€72 for 2 tickets isn't bad, my brother paid more than that for one Springsteen ticket
just paid €195 for 2...oh well, really dont care as long as i got oneOriginally Posted by tetsujin1979
I got standing for friday and seating for saturday night.
I got them through the presales earlier in the week.Also got tickets for the wembley gig in august and hope to get tickets for the opening gig in barcelona in june.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
Been ringing and online since 8am. Not a friggin dickie bird. I'm off to ticketmaster HQ with a box of matches and petrol can. Haven't missed U2 in Ireland since '87.
Me too, standing for the Friday. Not bothering with any other nights or venues this time.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Queued up for 15 hours outside the Ticketmaster in cork and this is what happened to me and a few other people...
I was queuing since 5 O Clock and I was second in the line. Few more people joined up until 2 o clock in the morning. There was 15 of us in the line until abou 7:30 when a queue started to form steadily. There was great banter for the "original 15" of us so twas good craic and we were all getting standing tickets.
Heres where the plot thickens...
The kiosk people were late so they had to rush print tickets.
Ticketscan where running the queuing for it. We were let in at 7:55 and we were told we'd have to take the tickets we were given. I told him we had queued overnight for 14 hours and we should be entitled to ask for tickets we would like, I got no reply just a scowl. Got to the ticket kiosk and asked for two pitch standing and I was told they dont have any tickets for it even though we were told that they print some out early to make sure they have them. I asked what was available and he said stand tickets. The guy behind the counter then tried to sell me the dearest tickets, whilst others were getting cheaper ones, which I refused to buy to which he muttered something under his breath.
After queuing up for the bones of half a day a group of us felt like we were being treated horribly so we said we'd try Pro Musica (which were selling them) on the off chance. There was no queue and we got the tickets we wanted from them.
We were lied to basically so we went back to find pitch tickets were being sold. Incompetence, arrogance and idiocy being shown by the staff who were having a go at most people in the queue including myself when asked why weren't standing available on either night.
Anyway got two tickets for the pitch Friday night and I cant wait!!
I originally wanted to go Saturday to see Kaiser Chiefs as well but after that farce by ticket******* I'm just delighted to be heading up Friday.
I think I forgot to mention that Ticket******* started selling standing tickets after we got ours in Pro Musica after telling us there wasn't any left at all.
Good evening!
At least you got some tix but thats some friggin scam by the sellers trying to rip you off like that.
I actually got through on the phone around 8.25 and it was automated and went through the whole process and selecting 2 GA tickets for friday. Then BAM..told no tickets availiable go through whole process again only to get cut off and couldn't get through again.
A friend of mine got a GA ticket for friday at 9.10am online. Then another friend in Central Europe of all places emails me to say he is online and buying his tix at 9.20am.
All this time I was on the phone and online and the TM browser just got to end of its cycle each time and said no tix availiable..please try again.
I know TM are a shower of you know whats but I'd like to know how I can be told no standing tix availiable at 8.25am and then someone else gets one 40 minutes later.
Should have done the pre-sale.
Ticketmaster are an awful shower and you'd think they'd be a lot more organised to deal with the demand for the phone and online customers. I feel sorry for those who genuinely want to be there but couldn't get tickets as they've been snapped up by touts, all due to Ticketmaster's shambolic system.
Where I got my tickets they didnt charge handling fees so it was 8 euro cheaper than Ticketmaster, so I'm delighted that the extra money didn't go to them.
To be honest I'm just happy to have gotten my tickets.
Make sure you queue early for tickets when U2 announce the Monday gig
Good evening!
Singed up for the U2 fan club on wed night for 37 euro and then as a member bought 4 pitch tickets in the presale,all on wed night!

Did you go to ZOO TV at the RDS? If so, was it as good as everyone says it was? I would have given anything to have been at one of the ZOO TV shows.
Anyway........I got 4 standing for the Friday night and 3 seated, (upper Cusack stand), for the Saturday night show. I believe that there is probably going to be a third concert, so those who missed out on tickets will have another chance to get some.
The ZOO TV shows were much better i thought than the POPMART shows that followed in 98.
I was at the ZOO TV gigs in cork and dublin that year.
I've been going to U2 gigs since the Joshua Tree tour in 87.
I've been to 13 shows so far and i've barcelona,wembley and the two dublin shows lined up for this year.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
The ZOO TV shows were incredible because nobody had done anything on that scale before plus the Achtung Baby album was pretty much amazing which only added to the whole spectacle.
I know Depeche Mode at the time were a bit miffed as they claimed the whole TV on stage thing although they were more like watching portables as opposed to the Giant widescreen plasmas U2 had.
Was probably too young to appreciate Croke Park in '87. I agree with the previous poster about POPMART in Lansdowne. Good but not great.
Slane Castle was pretty much brilliant for the most part.
Croker in '05 was another. Friday show was ok but Will never forget An Cat Dubh on the Monday night and the wonderful weather and great show.
I'm confident I'll get a ticket from somewhere this time around despite TM's best attempts to thwart me and thousands like me.
Well its official. 3rd date on sale April 1st 8am. I've gone against everything I believe in and signed up for the pre-sale. The CD softens the blow a bit but at least now I should be sorted with tickets.
Could be worse I suppose. Could be buying a Vantage Club seat. Now there's value for money
IT makes perfect sense for 4 people to split it and join the fan club and will cost 13 euro each for it and you get your tickets no problem. I split it with my 3 brothers.
In Trap we trust
Yeah thats a good idea alright if you have friends unlike loners like me
Gotta love Bill Bailey.
