You've got to be kidding!? Actually, don't think '!?' voices my incredulousness enough. What is the capacity of the RDS? I can only assume the same 60,000 morons who keep the Chilli Peppers fully stocked with ivory back scratchers each year here are also Killers devotees? OK, the have a few catchy tunes but c'mon! My mind is boggling good and proper now.

Oh come on now, I think the Killers ain't the worst, 70,000 fools parting with their money to see that Arse w**k Robbie Williams in Croke Park, now that's disgraceful.

It'll be EP and Glasto for me anyway. Although Glasto demand will be insane i expect next year so it'll be tough getting a ticket.

Come on AntiStar,
How cool would it be if the Red Hot Chili Peppers AND The Killers play here every year for the next decade. That would be the dream for me.

So why don't we do something instead of complaiining? Do you think its possible that an organised email campaign or online petition to Ticketmaster would give them a much needed kick up the arse?
Seriously, lets attempt a boycott? The minute one of these shows doesn't sell out Ticketmaster have a problem. Easiest business in Ireland to run unless demand took a nosedive. TM's whole business model is based on selling out gigs, empty seats and venues is just not an option and can completely screw up their year.
I think we (ie cluas readers) can start to make that change.
CLUAS READERS AGAINST TICKETMASTER (CRAT).

but ticketmaster don't set ticket prices they just sell them for a stupid service charge, I always think they take too much of a bad rap. I do agree with a campaign against ticket prices though, its badly needed.

In ten years time, RHCP will be no more having succumbed to the first recorded case of Athlete's Mickey, a little known but deadly fungal variant picked up from wearing dirtly socks on their crotchal area.
I too dream...

Start of April.
It's pure luck if you get them. I spent four hours trying to get through online and the umpteenth attempt it worked.
However, if you don't get a ticket there are plenty of resales in the months leading up the festival.
Incredible festival

Fine with me Bonzo. Ive already sent an email to Aiken to complain, but I'm all for a bit more harrassment. |

how many does the RDS hold anyway? I don't like big venues, the sound is generally s**t as is the atmosphere.

It SEEMS fairly ok to get blags for Glasto once you give them enough notice. The media room is massive and there is a huge media presence as well as guest list.
Just judging by the amount of reporters etc they don't seem too tight with press passes.
Q magazine does a daily paper from the site. I'd start making enquiries now though as it closes a few months before the festival.
