Title: Concert tickets for sale or swap
Post by: Hoof Hearted on May 22, 2012, 07:17:06 AM

My other half would like to swap two standing tickets for two seating tickets for the Westlife Concert in June. Her's are currently for Dublin, but she would swap for Belfast if it suits someone. If she cant swap, she will sell at face value - circumstances have changed (for the better)since they were bought so she needs seating tickets now !

Thanks in advance.

PM me if interested

Evening folks, reviving an old thread with a desparate and very hopeful plea....

I'm looking for tickets for any of the Luke Combs concerts in Belfast or Dublin - ideally 4 but 2 would suffice  :P

I want to give 2 family members something to look forward to as it's very much needed for them.

If anyone has any leads on this between now and October pleeeeeeease let me know :)

Any of yous ever use TicketSwap? Got one off it yesterday for Luke combs, there's been next to nothing on there for months then yesterday about 20 different tickets came up and I got one. It's an evenbrite ticket with an Irish girls name on it as the buyer but the timezone in nigeria. Not convinced it's legit

tried the Coldplay presale there. what a joke.
logged me out 3 times when in the waiting room and when I logged in the 3rd time there was about 7500 in front of me in the queue and when I got to 1 in the queue it logged me out again lol. got back in but there was no option to search for tickets.
ticketmaster really isn't fit for purpose.

It's really poor that they have no idea how to scale a system up and down. Every single time this happens. I guess they still get their money so they probably don't care about investing in that kind of thing.

That's  probably for the best.  I mean, come on...it's Coldplay .  Why  would you want to subject yourself to  2 hours of   that? Did you lose a bet or something?  ;)

The daughter got one for Sunday which was added all of a sudden. Its a farcical system on ticketmaster but as someone else said they dont care as they fill the venue. 250 quid for a ticket is ridiculous though.

Superb live band. More recent output nowhere near as good as the first couple of albums, but they put on some show 
Title: Re: Concert tickets for sale or swap
Post by: clarshack on July 28, 2023, 10:54:43 AM
Ticketmaster must have sold a load in presales as there was hardly any tickets left for general sale this morning.
No way there's that many Coldplay fans in Ireland!
Anyway it's a long time between now and August/September 2024 and I think you can't sell/transfer the tickets until closer to the time so hopefully karma ends up getting anyone who bought hoping to sell on for profit.

It's the usual FOMO event junkie nonsense then loads of tickets become available for sale closer to the event. I can't imagine 320k Coldplay fans exist in Ireland.

How much crossover is there between the Garth Brooks and Coldplay fans?

Clearly there is. I know a right few young ones who were mad to get tickets. Coldplay attract people who like their music and ones who like the show they put on.

No point in complaining about people selling tickets for a higher price. Im sure you have sold a car or some other item for a higher price than you bought it for at some somestage. Concerts are no different.

To be honest,  it's the same  now with  GAA matches.

The amount of  people I heard that went  to Garth brooks last year  despite not even liking his  music was unbelievable .  People have to   be seen going to events , posting on Facebook, showing the world how  great their  life is. There's something  seriously demented about that

Their album 20 years ago rush of blood to the head likely had that amount of sales on this island.

Been thinking this myself. It's definitely getting worse and I can only presume is being fuelled by social media. Watch any concert on TV and you see how many watch it through their phone screens. It's a serious condition which Ireland seems to suffer from worse than others. Travel seems to be the same. A bimbo in work seems to go on holiday based on where "influencers" post their photos from.

Can't understand the big rush for Coldplay, few good songs the height of it, bit like Gareth Brooks last year, Irish people do lose the run of themselves when certain acts come over. Then listen to the hotel industry talk about poverty then bleed people dry for football or gigs,

Post by: tintin25 on July 29, 2023, 01:18:17 PM
Gauranteed that come the time of the concerts there'll be a pile of people selling unwanted tickets - it was the same for Garth Brooks.  Gone are the days that people are prepared to pay stupid money for these type of concerts.

A lot i can imagine will be selling their tickets once they see the price of accommodation.

Yellow and Trouble  I liked.  A couple from second album  sort of listenable. After that,  forget it.  Fix You was the  end for me . Awful  song, with awful lyrics.

Anything I've heard from them from  about 05  sounds like  music you'd hear in Poundland .  And the more  they churn out  terrible music the more  it taints their earlier stuff for me

Agreed.
I think the songs all sound the same(ish).

I like a good concert as much as the next man, but would I f*ck spend hundreds of hard earned money to go and stand on a pitch to see anyone play. The prices are just extortionate if you ask me and I don't care who's playing, no way would I be spending over 100 on a ticket.
Then take into account travel/accomodation costs.

The hotel/b&b industry is really ripping the back side out of everyone too, not a chance from me anyway.

Maybe I'm just a miserable auld sod.
