There's definitely something strange in Ireland where the bigger the event, the bigger the draw is. Slane was always a good example, I know loads that always went but wouldn't have bothered going to Foo Fighters or whoever if they were playing in the Olympia.

Noticed a lot of videos on Tiktok of young people panicing to get tickets and it made me realise there is a whole new generation who never got to see Metallica. My aul fella first seen them in the Top Hat, and I first seen them in the RDS in 2003 but he has 2 younger kids now of 11 & 16 who would chop their arms off to go. Pretty big deal for him to be able to bring them aswell.

Yeah isn't it great that it's a metal gig that's creating such fuss.

I don't think it's a particularly Irish phenomenon..?

Quote from: Squigs on May 22, 2025, 09:45:34 AMI wonder how many two-day tickets will actually exist for €120

Did anybody get or even see an option for this?

Yes, they were €131 in the top tier with restricted view warning, was able to put them in the cart yesterday.

Standing all gone again this is a joke.

A friend of mine got two. He only joined the queue 10 minutes ago.

Must of been lucky I joined when it started at 9.45 got in around 10.20 and standing was all greyed out. Checked a few mins ago and it was showing them but same shite as the last day saying 'tickets not available' when you try to check out.

I picked up 3 seating then a mate unbeknownst to everyone got 3 standing. So now I have 3 seating spare ffs!!

Thry seem to be available again Mick, 225 I think for 2 nights that's not fucking bad now lads

They are showing on the map but when you try to check out it keeps saying 'tickets in this sections are not available please try again' I am after trying it about 20 times.

I was told by a friend there is loads of standing left but when I try to purchase them I get that same message. I got a message earlier saying they don't accept visa when i tried to get seated tickets. Ah Well I did say I only wanted  a single day ticket :laugh:

I can't believe how complicated it is to buy a ticket to a fucking gig. I am brain-dead just reading about it. If I was trying to get one... or two... or whatever it is I would jump out the window.

I got a good seated ticket on Wednesday but I really wanted a standing ticket,went on 15 mis ago kept hitting refresh and ended up getting a standing ticket,will I be able to sell the seated ticket back to ticketmaster?

Now I am getting 'Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused' probably because I keep trying to reload the page just so I can buy a ticket.
