YOU FOOL, if you tell people then they'll know! Wait until saturday to mention it. Since you brought it up though, they're playing the 5th and the 6th, ticketmaster only has the first date listed, the second one will most likely go up about an hour after the first sells out.

As a general warning though, if anyone does miss tickets for the first day, don't trust ticketmaster when they give an onsale time for the second day's tickets, they always jump the gun for follow-up dates. They've done it before.

tywy · 01-12-2007, 09:58 AM

w00t! I have a ticket for the first night if I want it...

who are you calling old?????

Tickets for the Dutch gig go on sale tomorrow, hopefully I can get tickets for that as well!

Bumpman · 01-12-2007, 10:54 AM

I didn't get tickets, I was on ticketmaster at nine, I clicked on buy tickets the second they came onsale, and they were sold out.

Gatsby · 01-12-2007, 12:20 PM

^ im quite glad i heard that simply because i totally forgot.

im sure there might be a few floating about for you tho sean. fingers crossed

Bumpman · 01-12-2007, 12:30 PM

I doubt it, they all seem to have been bought up by a small amount of people, mainly because there wasn't a restriction on the amount of tickets one person could buy, it would have been easier if you could only get two or one. I'll probably have to buy one one ebay for €150.

#Ian# · 01-12-2007, 12:57 PM

I've got one.

Same here, I'm so disappointed.....

Bumpman · 01-12-2007, 02:08 PM

Disappointed doesn't even approach it, I was sitting there screaming 'NOOOOOO' at the computer monitor... If I could equate it to anything I'd say it felt like someone stamping repeatedly on your chest during open heart surgery.

~Aoife~ · 01-12-2007, 04:28 PM

I got so angry when I looked on ebay. The touts must have snapped them all up. It baffles me that I couldn't get tickets to either show in the Olympia having been on from half 8 until 10 this morning. People must have been buying handfuls of tickets for it to sell out so quickly. Plus, which genius decided Razorlight tickets should go on sale at the same time? Phone lines were completely jammed.

Grrrrrr

tywy · 01-12-2007, 06:26 PM

there's also speculation that there have been a load of VIP tickets allocated due to the major hype about the gig.

So maybe not that many tickets went on sale in the first place...

Emelie · 01-17-2007, 01:28 PM

They're coming to Sweden to play the same venue as Damien, though the night before

I'm gonna have such an awesome concert-weekend!

it's the same in Copenhagen, only the other way round (Damien first)

Finally some sunshine over grey old Scandinavia eh?

Emelie · 01-17-2007, 03:37 PM

About time as well!

~Aoife~ · 01-17-2007, 07:04 PM

Hey,

If any kind soul hears of a friend/foe/family member selling tickets for either of the Arcade Fire Dublin dates, I would much appreciate it if you would let me know!

Thank you!

tywy · 02-03-2007, 08:03 PM

Just back from Arcade Fire in London. I CANNOT WAIT TILL THE DUBLIN DATE!

They are excellent live. I shook Win Butler's hand!

Bumpman · 02-03-2007, 08:47 PM

I hear some guy repeatedly punched a girl in the ribs there because she had a spot in front of him...

tywy · 03-04-2007, 05:56 PM

how early do you think you'll need to be there tomorrow to get in the pit?

#Ian# · 03-04-2007, 09:52 PM

You'd need to be there for the doors I'd say.

Timeé · 03-04-2007, 10:54 PM

aye. 6:00 am.

Bumpman · 03-05-2007, 12:03 PM

You could always just mooch around Dame St. until the queue looks like it has about 50 people, there's only space for 100 in the pit I think. I ended up getting a seating ticket for the tuesday show.

tywy · 03-06-2007, 10:25 AM

I got in the pit

Front row centre!

It was a fantastic show!

#Ian# · 03-06-2007, 12:13 PM

Yes it was, going again tonight.

You weren't the person pulling Win's hair were you?

I took pone photo last night. I think I made it count.

Gatsby · 03-06-2007, 05:48 PM

I wasn't pulling his hair no, his guitar was against my face! The fretboard to be exact.

#Ian# · 03-07-2007, 01:44 AM

Even better tonight.

Bumpman · 03-07-2007, 09:04 AM

Good to know I got the better show... The second encore was really unexpected.
