Usually a Slane thread due to GNR, Metallica in the past few years but what is going on here :laugh:
Does this thread mean Benediction are opening for them? :laugh: :abbath:
Hope they play a few off Grind Bastard
:laugh: :laugh:
QuoteFans are asked to register to secure their tickets, with standard ticket prices fixed between €181.25 to €501.25. Tickets are limited to four per person.
€181 for the cheapest ticket? ???
Is this a separate gig to Fontaines?
I like cake
Are you OK?

Ya, 4 gigs in Slane next year.
Wow, they are really going for it
Why not, I suppose, but once was enough for me.
Same. I like Oasis and enjoyed seeing them in the '90s, I enjoyed Slane the time I was there, but even at a reasonable price I couldn't be bothered with this.
I see ticketmaster are now selling bus packages to Slane as a ticket option.No end to their greed.
Thankfully no interest in going to this shite but it's interesting to see that for every European date the starting price ranges from €82 - €92 yet Ireland is starting at €181 I wonder why that is. Ireland wasn't the only place that complained about the dynamic pricing last time was it?

I'd imagine shite seats in the rafters of stadiums would be the 82 to 92 range whereas Slane would be all general entry apart from an area up the front that'll probably be 500
Yes I think it's like £170 to stand at the back of the stadium in Manchester but the few restricted view seats are £70
The prices for these gigs are absolutely insane, the slane prices are absolutely ridiculous. I could be wrong on this but will people pay out like they did the first time out. I know dynamic pricing isn't a factor this time but still.
It's pisstake pricing and the more people pay even more urine is extracted the next time, it's just mental!

I think you'd be surprised how many will.
Way out of my league price wise. Probably should have gone to one of the Croker gigs last year, it looked a decent buzz in fairness.
Bought tickets for the bird for this (she's paying for them) and when I saw the prices I nearly refused on her behalf.
You'd want your fucking head examined paying that money for that shit

I'm sure the gig itself will be good. Saw them years ago for a fraction of the price, thankfully. But yeah so much was made about dynamic pricing a few years ago but people seem ok with 200e being the general admission, and then going all the way up to 500e.
I'm sure I won't mind it after a few pints or whatever but fuck me how did we get to this stage. By the time I checked out it was 470 paid because I could only buy tickets with bus tickets attached.
Have to say I'm pretty relieved though to get them because she would never have stopped going on about it until after it happens next year.
I hear there's only 500 quid tickets left now
How did it get to this? Is it COVID or just cause nobody buys music anymore.
A mixture of both I'd say....
People post those lock downs were chomping at the bit for gigs and shows and more than willing to pay the extra price with the money we saved from being penned in.

Sadly seems like they will pay.
Early discussion with friends was they'd go to 300 quid no problem, granted it was mostly coming from 2-3 gig a year people but just nuts.
I think part of the reason that people are so accepting of higher ticket prices is becasue people don't socialise as much. When I was a younger gentleman I would go out at 4 nights a week, imagine trying to drink in a pub and get steamed 4 nights of a week now. You can see with pub closures and lack of late night venues that the majority of 'young people' clearly don't go on the piss and blow their wages so are probably more comfortable with spending silly money on gig tickets months in advance. Then there's the people who have grown up with bands and now have money, i spent close to 300 euro on Metallica in the summer. I can afford it these days. The prices aren't right but it's become completely normalised. The radio advert for Oasis says "ticket prices from 180 euro", that's mental.
