Best start saving now...
Ah sure grand, would go if I got a ticket, last te around no doubt. Great band in their day.
Wouldn't mind going for that reason. But assuming the ticket price will be obnoxious and you'll be surrounded by the cast of Hills Have Eyes who've been let out for the day to air guitar to Back in Black etc.
Their show in the O2 about a decade or so back was near perfect.
I'm sure Croker would be a killer show by the band, but the thought of that many people all mongin' out just does not appeal.

I remember the scramble to get tickets for that. Wasn't there people queuing outside a place in Coleraine a day or two before they went on sale? I turned up in Ballymena at 3.30am and there was 6 people ahead of me. Still got tickets. The 13th person was the last one.
160 odd quid to stand in a field and be surrounded by 50 thousand Bruce Springsteen/ Garth Brookes fans playing 'tallica fan for the day..na baii I'm grand thanks
:laugh: That's it exactly isn't it, same bucks would be at Rihanna the week after
What was it last time they played here?
Quote from: Kunt 4 Life on November 15, 2023, 06:55:22 PMWhat was it last time they played here?
Was 100 snots for pitch, might have been 99 to sound better was certainly the most I paid for a ticket at time.
Either way it was great to see them but beyond that was an average enough experience in truth and wouldn't be paying more for similar now.
Tbh not sure it goes down well here but Slane may well have enticed me.

I was at their Punchestown concert in 2009. Malcolm was there and the setlist was a solid greatest hits affair. The rain and some sections of the (huge) crowd weren't so great however. Don't seem to remember paying an exorbitant amount for the ticket.
Setlist on the day was: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/acdc/2009/punchestown-racecourse-naas-ireland-7bd6724c.html
Refused free tickets to them 5 or 6 years ago. The main reason was that I was skint and I only had a couple of days' notice (no time to sort accomodation), but I didn't particularly regret it. I've always thought they were only OK, I've never understood the fuss about them. The Bon Scott stuff pissed on everything since.

Yeah I remember the punchestown crowd having an unfriendly feel to it, not like the O2 gig 2 months earlier. Weather didn't help.
I'm on the fence about this one, it's potentially their last time around so would be more of a sign off gig for me, but as others have said I can just imagine the crowd element that would attend this...

Same..if someone sticks them on I'd say ahh ya it gets the foot tapping ..but if I never heard them ever again I wouldn't give a monkeys toss
I hope it goes ahead, I'd like to see them 1 last time & my 3 girls would love to see them too.

I remember singing along to Dog Eat Dog and some gowl of a country lad couldn't work out how I knew the words to songs that weren't Back in Black or Thunderstruck.
Even if it's their last time round, I'd rather leave it be, especially when the brains of the operation checked out some time ago.
Am reading elsewhere that it's more likely to be the rolling stones for croke park (who announced their US tour today).
Still, even if there is no Irish date I'll probably fly to Europe. I thought they sounded decent overall from the powertrip clips and the setlist was very good.
I wouldn't be surprised to see AC/DC playing Slane.
Always get touted for it and after GNR and Metallica in recent years it wouldn't be a surprise.
In saying that it is a hellhole of a venue.
Any word on this? It's very quiet.
Apparently Italy is confirmed for 25th may
https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/reggio-emilia/cultura/ac-dc-rcf-arena-reggio-emilia-25-maggio-2024-983f864f
There is now a countdown timer for Monday morning on AC/DC's website. August 17th is the rumour for Croke Park.
I'm assuming it'll be like Coldplay or anything else there. 47-54 different pre sales, premium tickets (the roof), experiences etc etc and it'll cost €700 for two tickets.
Having not seen them before and them more or less being on deaths door I would really like to see them at least once before they call it a day but from what I remember on the old forum weren't the tickets to the show in Punchestown crazy money (close to 200) and that was 15 years ago.
I was at Punchestown, can't remember how much the tickets were but they were definitely not that expensive, I assume this will be around 100 if its on in Ireland.
Nearly sure tickets were around the 80 mark for Punchestown, they'll probably be double that at least
I looked it up and it says 76.50 but I remember a lot of people on Metal Ireland giving out about tickets maybe that was touting. Even at that with it being 76.50 15 years ago I would expect it to be well over 100. Coldplay standing tickets started at 120 according to an article I just read and that is before the rip off TM fees.
Very few snagged the Coldplay tickets at that price. Average was closer to €350
Bruce Springsteen standing tickets for the gigs this year are €160. Would say they'll be not much short of that.
August 17th. 82.50 plus fees.
I'd love to scratch them off the list and the price isn't as bad as I thought... But Croke Park, anyone ever been to a gig there?
Is that 85 starting I take it?
There's two dates at Wembley that's quite high
It has to be a starting price based on where you are in the venue etc.
I saw U2 and Bruce Springsteen there. The sound is shite and it's a pain in the hole trying to go to the jacks if you are on the pitch, Lansdowne Road is way better for sound.
When I looked up Coldplay the other day it said tickets start at €80 and standing on the pitch was €120 before fees. So my guess is with fees it will be in or around €150 for standing. Not as bad as I expected but it will be hard convincing many other people to go at those prices.
Not an AC/DC fan, but just noticed Rudd won't be touring with them, any reason given for that?
Back on the meth, I'd presume :laugh: No Williams either. So it's Angus and Brian plus backing band. Probably still go.
Rumours going around the Duff from GnR will be on bass
It's been rumoured to be Chris Chaney. I had to google him. He's played with a host of people, Jane's Addition and other such folk.

If the £145 meant you had a decent view of the band in this day and age that wouldn't be too bad. But I am sure the usual will happen with this gig TM will hold back a load of tickets to tout on second hand sites and they will claim the entire thing is sold out not long after it goes on sale this Friday.
Just after seeing the prices on the residents presale. Standing is 145 before fees.
That's a whole lotta dough fee
:laugh:
Anyone paying these prices needs sectioning
Only place I'm getting sectioned to is the front pitch standing after I paid €561 for 3 tickets this morning with that resident's link which was floating around for a while.
€187 after fees.
The mental gymnastics I went through to justify it to myself was Olympic. I'm nearby so I don't have to book flights, I don't have to book a hotel, last time they toured I went to multiple dates and this time I won't, my partner paid €210 for her Taylor Swift ticket, sure it's the same price as Pearl Jam etc etc...

I will hang for a bit and see but still only at 32k and I am only going for standing so I don't have much of chance.
Touts on twitter already
All that was left was tickets at the back, much as I love them, (saw them 91, 96, 2009, 2016), I'm not paying that much to see a dot on the stage, and I was in wait room before 9....
Quote from: Kunt 4 Life on February 16, 2024, 09:28:57 AMTouts on twitter already
typical, and probably with standing tickets..
I got Hogan stand upper tier. Have no idea where that is. Ticketmaster design that site to be incredibly stressful. Had to disable ad blockers to get a Captcha while I was accepted.
I am in now and it keeps pushing me to seats when I try to get a standing tickets tried to reload a few times now I am getting the 'something went wrong' bullshit so I not bothering now. 166 before before fees for a shitty seated ticket.
Does Ticketmaster have a map? of the layout? Like MickO)) It kept diverting me away from standing
It showed a map when I got in wasn't an interactive one though. I was offered those Hogan stand tickets as well on the lower tier. My guess is all the standing are gone.
Fucking rip off at 166. Shocking prices. You'd get a festival with a load of bands near that price
Can you imagine the calibre of fuckin idiot that'll be in attendance.
If it is anything like the Stones in Croke Pk you will easily pick up a ticket closer to the time. And cheaper too.
It is now dawning on 3% of the buyers that they booked a 2 week family break in Spain in August. 1% are already booked for a stag weekend but they totally forgot about it. ;-)
Scalpers already up on twitter along with all of the bots. Was shown Davin stand tickets but was sitting in the aviva equivalent the last time in 2015 and don't want to be seating again, sound was shite and just not a great buzz altogether. Fingers crossed for all the heads selling closer to the date
In Croke Park the stage is usually down Hill 16 side, so if you're in the Davin Stand you should bring some powerful binoculars.
https://crokepark.ie/stadiumplan2/index.html
Was considering it, but between tickets for me and herself, drinks, babysitter...probably work out the guts of €500, no way I can justify that
Hopefully there'll be a rake of people offloading tickets closer to the date
Apparently it's the same weekend as Electric Picnic. Could bode well for someone looking for a ticket later.
Had a look on Ticketmaster there, the only tickets it was letting me select was Gold Circle Standing at 440 a ticket before fees, insane prices :laugh:
Got a ticket on the residents presale but i live 100 miles away! they'll hardly be asking me for proof of address !!?
Strongly thinking of flogging the ticket I got and not going. Might as well listen to them from the car park I'm that far back.

Ticketmaster just holding standing tickets back and repricing them at €335 general and €440 gold circle. Ugly. Genuinely grateful there's no other band that would tempt me to pay €150+, once this tour is over I'd imagine I'm more or less done with these big outdoors shows.
Do people seriously pay those kinds of prices without thinking twice? must be a lot more rich people out there than I thought, I was under the impression it was ´hard times´nowadays.
It's criminal, there ought to be a law....
Is it the band or ticketmaster charging these prices???

Criminal, there ought to be a whole lot more (tickets).
Huge ACDC fan here but they can fuck off with those prices..not a fuckin hope would I pay anywhere near that...
The problem with these one off massive concerts is huge numbers going to it are utter event junkies.Splash out once a year for a big day out,thats them done then.Wheres loads of us on here are going to gigs throughout the year,every year.Like none of my friends into Metal/rock are going,simply because of the insane pricing.So as long as day trippers are paying those prices;tickets will stay high.
As someone on here described them, 'Garth Brooks fans doing tallica for the day' :laugh:

I believe I saw something lately from the Avenged Sevenfold singer where he openly admitted any band that has that setup for ticket sales had to approve it themselves and that most artists hide behind the "oh that's ticketmaster not us". He outlined that for them, they may as well be making the money instead of touts.
Absolute insanity the whole thing.leave them at it i say..tix for urban assault and blaze bayley in fredz combined probably cost less than they booking fee and are a billion times the craic :) all the fools sailed away? Don't think so
Well I bought 3 tickets and I will be at Emperor, Priest, Primordial, pixies, Xentrix, Wolves in the throne room, Godflesh, Smashing Pumpkins. Sepultura. Fuck the begrudgers.

I dont think anyone is begrudging the right to go to any gig you want.Its more to do with the neck on some big bands and ticketmaster taking the piss,and will continue to do so if Stadiums are selling out.

Good for you man I hope you enjoy them.
But €166 for a ticket is fucking disgusting, no two ways about it.
Going to flog that ticket if anyone wants it. Cost is €157. Exactly what I paid for it. DM for info.

This. No begrudge, prices are stupid nowadays. Glad I got to see concerts when they were affordable (all genres, 90s/2000s).
Ticket prices aside, Brian's voice is fucked, and the rhythm section are all new, none if it makes any sense...
There's a 68 year old man wearing a schoolboy outfit in public. Ticket price or no, fuck off.
I am still watching this Power Trip thing..... some balls charging those prices for tickets!!!!
WTF.... I knew 'River Plate' was produced as all such things are...... Live and Dangerous!
I keep stopping this going 'Williams' knew the craic!
TShirt €47.50....along with a €440 ticket ..... for this!
mid 90's Slayer ticket was 12.60 for SFX.... ACDC 60 in the point
Early 2000's I seem to recall ACDC being one of the first bands here to break 100
Later when tickets for Metallica were 68 or there abouts..... ACDC was 120 or 140
I have never gone to see them because of this.
Jagger is 80..... look at the difference! can you compare them?
A band who has sold in excess of 200 million albums can definitely have an influence on ticket prices. For example, The Cure took on Ticketmaster in America last year and openly questioned why fees more than doubled ticket prices and there wasn't a pensioner/guitarist dressed as a school boy in sight:
Ticketmaster will refund some of its fees to fans buying tickets for the Cure's US tour, after front man Robert Smith took them to task over their "unduly high" fees that were, in some cases, adding up to more than the price of a ticket.
On Thursday, Smith told fans that he was "as sickened as you all are" and he would contact Ticketmaster after many took to social media to complain about the ticket sales behemoth's additional fees.
"I have been asking how they are justified," Smith wrote to fans in a trademark caps lock tweet. "If I get anything coherent by way of an answer I will let you all know."
He said they had declined to participate in the company's dynamic pricing and Platinum ticket schemes as they did not want ticket prices to be "instantly and horribly distorted by resale".
The band had purposefully kept tickets affordable, with some as low as $20. But fans shared screenshots of Ticketmaster shopping baskets with varying fees across different venues: one image showed combined fees that exceeded the cost of a $20 ticket – each subject to a service fee of $11.65 and a facility charge of $10, plus an overall order processing fee of $5.50. A message posted on The Cure website on Friday read: "Following the Fan Verified sale on Wednesday and after further conversation, Ticketmaster have agreed with us that many of the fees being charged for the shows are unduly high, and as a gesture of goodwill have offered refunds... All tickets on sale today will incur lower fees.
TBF with Thunderstruck you're cherry picking the bum song of the whole 24 song set, which was their first in 8 years. I thought they sounded pretty good otherwise. Brian sounds weaker of course, but the band overall sounded better than they did in 2015.
As for the ticket prices, I'd say no member of the band has taken any interest in the ticket price in decades and if you asked Angus or Brian how much a ticket is they probably couldn't even ballpark it.
The dynamic pricing is ugly but the original ticket prices are basically in line with what other acts are charging, Springsteen is approx €165 standing this Summer and Pearl Jam is €118 standing, €180 gold circle. Green Day tickets were a good bump more expensive despite them playing the same venue just 2 years apart.
An added cost with the AC/DC tour with them playing only 1 gig every 4 nights and will surely be the same if Rolling Stones tour Europe again will be the insane inefficiency of the routing. The costs of putting the whole production on the road for 90+ days between May and August and only having 2 days of income per week must add to the ticket prices.
Not to defend these insane prices, if I was only able to get tickets at the platinum prices I would have left it and if Metallica or Rolling Stones announced an outdoors show with these prices I would just not bother with those either. I had a passing interest in seeing Def Leppard last Summer but not enough €100 general admission intereset.
I'd be surprised if Angus wasn't aware of what the prices are.

Got a standing ticket this morning by pure luck. Was in Dublin for work today and I went into Sound Cellar for other tickets. When I got in the girl was on the phone with someone who was telling her they didn't want a ticket that was being held for them. Turned out it was an AC/DC standing ticket.

The day I got my ticket this week I just checked TM when I got home as I know 2 people still looking for standing and a load of seated tickets were up on it but they all look to be gone now.
Same with Rammstein they had a load of the front standing tickets for sale on TM before Xmas and that section was suppose to have been sold out a few days after the show went on sale. These tickets were direct from Ticketmaster not resale ones.

It doesn't show it on the app but if you login on desktop it actually says they'll become available 3 days before the event, presumably transfers will open around then too.
This is a new thing they've been doing with big concerts, apparently this was the case with Springsteen last year and is the same for Taylor Swift, Coldplay etc. I guess they shut off resale for concerts where they're trying to push platinum tickets/expensive shit seats.

Might be able to get a feel of it from this site.
Good idea, could see where I'd be, thanks, still a long way away :-)
Geez, there's a website for everything now.....
I see there are some tickets on sale today
Anyone know where they are, don't see them on seating map???? MID???

Might MID be the area semi-corporate area above the lower tier and just below the proper coroporate boxes? Been there for work schmooze things a few times when no-one wanted to go to the camogie or ladies football. It's a lot nicer than general access, nicer bars, cleaner jacks, etc but not the full on corporate box experience. Generally, it's a private area where seats are reserved season by season so doesn't show up when tickets are sold to the general public. Looking at the numbering sequence on what you posted, the area numbers are the same upper and lower, so I'd guess 518 is inbetween 718 and 318. You get to watch the gig from far, far away on a big screen (which will look quite small from the other end of the stadium, ironically enough) and by the time the sound waves get to you, they will have reflected so much it'll sound like you're hearing multiple bear growlings emanating from a cave, but at least it won't stink of piss.

Saw them in the point in 91. They were entertaining for sure and it was a lot easier to get a ticket. For me they haven't released a good album since "flick of the switch" but I'm sure they are good craic live....but not at the prices they are charging.

Thank you sir, I'm pretty sure you're correct, too far back for me, I'll wait for resale tickets, might get closer, if there are resale tickets....
the burning question is will they play whiskey in a jar or rainy night in soho

I think that post disappeared
Ah. He must have sold them, sorry.
Any word on support? Probably be some awful shit that nobody has ever heard of. I hope we get stage times but that always seems to be rare with these massive shows.
Croke Park I assume has that 10.30 curfew I know the residents are always complaining about the concerts. Just trying to figure out if public transport home will be good or would I need to book one of the buses going from where I live.
Now sold

Thanks.
Just saw they have one of those pop up shops opening for this tomorrow for a few days looks to be in exactly the same place that the Rammstein one was in and is open until Sunday evening.

I see re-sale tickets are now available on Ticketmaster, don't know why they left it so late...
1 seated ticket €100 low 321 area
I can transfer via ticket master if any one is interested
I wonder how much they paid to get on that bill.
Looking at 2 standing tickets and TM actually want to charge a 54 euro "service charge". Absolute cuntwaffling blunderbastatds.
I've a standing ticket available lads, one person not going ticketmaster transfer 100 euro to shift it
Scored 2 golden circle tickets there on tm for 175 each. Get in.
Keeping an eye on TM here ok but on a smaller budget. Enjoy the gig everyone.

What's your budget!
So how was the gig?
Fantastic, great night
It was great everything I was expecting. Just a shame this is my first and most likely last time seeing them. Could of done with another song instead of the solo Angus did but sure you are always going to get a guitar or drum solo of some sort at these bigger shows.
Way better than I was expecting them to be on the last show of the tour. Absolutely fuckin brilliant. Had kinda shitty seats so couldn't see the whole stage but they sounded fantastic. Killer setlist but agreed that they could have thrown in Problem Child or It's a Long Way to the Top instead of the extended solo
Really enjoyable gig and thanks to Don here for a late ticket. First gig in CP and worked really well for me. Highlights: Riff raff, High Voltage, DDDDC, If you want blood and Hells Bells. Been at tonnes of gigs and this one zipped by. Surely a good sign. KK's Priest next up.
It was so much better than I thought it would be, brilliant in fact, the crowd were so up for it, never seen as many standing in the seat section of a gig before, right from the off and all the way the end. Reminded of that River Plate video at times. Sure the solo went on for a bit, but it was exquisite, and it's probably to give Brian's voice a rest as much as anything. Stiff upper lip was great to hear, didn't expect that one. Was nearly in tears at the end, not sure if it was sheer joy and elation at what I had just heard and witnessed or was it beacause of the relisation that this could well be the end of era.... Who knows if I'll ever see them again. That was 5th time, stretching back to 90's.

I don't know how an edit appeared as a reply :laugh: still floating.....
Glad ye enjoyed it. Got placed in the upper Hogan stand side of stage. There were no vocals, echoing drums and muddled guitar. I feel bad for the 30 or so rows of people to the left of me because I couldn't hear a thing and couldn't see most of the stage so I could imagine what they got. Total joke. Had to leave and watched by an exit more toward centre so I got some of it by the end thankfully. Show was stellar though, lights and fireworks, class. On the upside, went for a drive through the Wicklow mountains the next day which was lovely 😄
Fantastic gig. Agreed the sound was poor for the first half hour but got much better. At one stage you could see Angus giving out to whatever sound engineer on the right of him.
Never got to see them until now but was worth the wait. Would have much preferred to see them in the point as croker is mad for the queues.
