Only in Ireland would you get a "post sale" instead of a "pre-sale" 
thanks to Doug and Tom for the tip-offs. managed to get lucky. This will possibly be the hardest non-club show ticket on the European tour to get,so good luck everyone!

Gazza I told Doug the 2nd I made my purchase to email you then posted hear and told lazybones hoping word would get to you glad you managed to pick them up. I tried for floors but it would not let me have them after I took to long to fill the form out then did not want to chance it the 2nd time when all it would give me was seating. However after I realized I had Block E Row B seat 1 and 2 right be the stage. What did you end up getting
I came home from work refreshed the page nothing then 2 seconds later did it again and there they where. -)
I am surprised they are still available since it is sold out and Iam sure lots want them. My guess is not many were sold to the public creating a good demand on the fan club web site and increasing funds a fair bit adding a 95 dollar extra charge on many more sets of tickets.
I never realized you could get 4 tickets or I would have in case someone else missed them. I am sure I could have sold them.

Didn't check e-mail at work this afternoon. What's important is you guys have tickets. Thanks for getting on the horn, Tom!

BillyBoll and myself managed to get four in Block B Row G. Level two pricing.
At eight tickets per applicant,not many people would have got them on the public sale. There will be an absolute shitload of these tickets available on the black market and the promoters (MCD) should have to account for themselves as to why for such a small show,they ended up allowing a maximum of that many which would be similar to the ceiling imposed on STADIUM shows in many countries. Genuine fans have hardly had a look in because of this fiasco.
My guess is a certain percentage are held over for fan club members. In this case, it was a "post sale" instead of a "pre sale" because they added the second show as soon as the first one sold out and with no advance notice (has this happened anywhere else on the entire tour? I'm not so sure. Even the SECC site for the Glasgow site were advertising the date of the 2nd show and that tickets were coming soon just before their first gig sold out) - Dublin #2 wasnt even mentioned on the official site as EXISTING for days afterwards,let alone listed as being available.

Oska - I have to get my tickets same way as anyone else does so I'm not sure what *I* can do.
why dont you go to www.ticketmaster.co.uk and buy them? Manchester still isnt sold out. theres public and (I think) fan club allocation still available.
Dublin? forget about it unless youre getting them through a hotel & ticket package deal or want to take your chances with ticket touts. |

well i've got my tickets for dublin 9th sept. bought on e bay �100 each, ground floor standing, i've also booked accomodation nearby. planning to arrive at point theatre by 12 midday to queue for a good position near stage, i hope ! gazza do you know if there are a number of entrances to queue from ? if so, which is the best ? and which is best to get to keiths side of the stage ? wow i can't wait! |

theres only one major entrance that I know of,at the front of the hall (ie the opposite end from the main stage)
I'm not 100% sure as I dont live in Dublin and have only been to the Point about three or four times
I'm staying at Jurys Custom House Inn which is less than a mile from the venue,so hopefully see you at some point, although (unless they add a show BEFORE the 9th) I'll only be arriving in Dublin around lunchtime that day
You did OK getting a standing ticket for �100..I think its about �60 face value but it'll be hard to get them for that price unless youre going as part of a package deal.
Speaking of which,I got an offer in the post yesterday from Event Travel (the Stones officially endorsed travel company) who have a package for this show as well as most others on the European tour. The cost of the same level 1 ticket plus ONE night in the same 3-Star hotel as the one I'm staying in works out at around �80 more than what I paid for my own ticket & hotel.. Ain't it good to know how the vast majority of these much sought after arena tickets seem to be going to either brokers or officially endorsed travel companies who are ripping off the people who should be getting a chance to buy them - and doing so with the Stones organisation's blessing... |

i tried to stay at jurys inn hotel, but they are now insisting on 2x night stays only, at �110 a night, so im staying at a small b&b only 10 minutes walk from the point, if we meet up it will probally be in the queue from tues midday onwards - as i go home on wed's morning ferry to holyhead. so not much chance to sample the 'craic' . btw i'm still trying to find 3x tickets for manchester if you know of any. |
