I'm missing two lectures for this. I'll do my nut and so will my lecturers for missing it! But Celine is more important!!

[nic]

2/3 is such an akward time though.  It's right smack in the middle of the day.

[carys]

Haha, I'm right there with you, I intended to only miss one lecture at 2, but not with this nonsense I'm going to end up missing another at 3!

But as you say, Celine is so much more important!

[carys]

I'm only being offered row T - is that going to be any good?

[nic]

I'M only getting 303 n, don't know whether or not to buy them

[carys]

Me neither to be honest. Its annoying that we're only being offered that far back. Really wanted to be pretty close up.

When do the packages go on sale?

Also, mine say 303 low  which isn't even on the pitch according to the ticketmaster seating plan?!

Yeah, same here.  Think i'm just going to wait for the general sale.  It's really disappointing though.

[nic]

Did anyone manage to get seats on the pitch?

[carys]

I feel like whats the point in paying more money if we're still not even that close. I don't understand where all the pitch seating has gone. What's the point in offering us a presale if we dont even get half decent tickets?!

I was so excited about this, and now i'm just totally diappointed.

I completely agree.  What annoys me more is that the pre-sale tickets for places like Manchester were apparently in the first few rows.  What's the difference?

[reynolds]

just got my tickets

Whereabouts did you get?

Strangely I keep retrying to see if i can (by any chance) get some decent tickets, and I keep being offered row L, then further back, then row L again. Seems quite weird.

[fallenlacrymosa]

So dissapointed with the pre-sale....totally crap!

got row g in 303

Where's Block A - Row A! Not fair!

[carys]

I emailed musictoday.com to enquire about the pitch seating.

I wonder if they'll reply...

[nic]

I'm in the middle of doing the same.  I'm kinda worried now that seating on the pitch might not be available to the general public

[carys]

I can't see how it couldnt be - there's going to be thousands of seats on the pitch!

Are there packages for the Dublin concert? Cos even if there are front row seats reserved for that, there's no way there'll be that many people for the whole pitch to be blocked for them.

[carys]

Just got this as a reply:

We are given an allotment of tickets to sell for the presale. We are given prime seats, as well as seats through out the entire venue. All tickets are sold as best available at the time of purchase.

In the ordering process, you will be given seat locations as soon as you select the number of tickets you need . If you are unhappy with the seats, simply empty the shopping basket and try again.


Thank you,

Doesn't exactly tell much does it?

[nic]

That just kind of seems like waffle to me.

[fallenlacrymosa]

Got Row J - 303 - not happy but I can't do Thursday so they'll have to do!

[pepillo90]

I already have it! LOW 303, Row E, Seats (8)



I'm from Spain, and I'm in love with Ireland... Can you tell me somewhere to stay?

[ZoraSourit]

I haven't bought mine also. The best I could get was Block 303, Row E. I'm gonna wait for the public sale.

[carys]

I'm waiting also. I figure, worst comes to worst and i get offered even worse tickets on thursday, I'll just go and buy some of the teamCeline ones, as i still seem to be being offered the same tickets even now!

[ZoraSourit]

It is very strange indeed... go figure.

[J-Man]

Well, I waited around for the pre-sale at 2, five minutes to go the link for the Croke park tickets dissapeared. After 30 min of agony, it was re-posted as starting at 3. Great start!. Then we get offered the seats in section 303. Not worth buying these, so after another 20 minutes of hoping for better seats to become available, I decided that I'd wait and see what happens on Thursday. There is 4-5 of us going anyway, so hile I'd drop my mates in a heartbeat for first few rows on the pitch, I ain't doing it for those seats. This is a very shoddy treatment handed out to us fans. What are we, a bunch of freaks to be shunted over into a corner somewhere?! When I joined the fan club 12 years ago it was great. Pauline Dion did a better job then and even though it's much slicker now online, it has been sucked dry of nearly all other features. I don't know if I'll keep up the membership next year, which is sad. 2 seats for an entire tour was a step back and now the location of the seats in Croke park is a bigger let down. When you're only allowed 2 seats you have a right to expect better seats!!
I don't blame Celine (never do) but this is a slap in the face to paying, loyal fans, and I've had enough!

CANT UNDERSTAND THE PRESALE.LOGGED ON TODAY 5 MINUTES AFTER PRESALE STARTED AND WAS OFFERED ROW T !!!???
WAITED A WHILE,TRIED AGAIN AND WAS OFFERED ROW R,HAD TO TAKE THEM AS COULDNT WAIT ANY LONGER
BUT CANT BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST TICKETS AVAILABLE.
NOTICED AS THE DAY WENT ON PEOPLE WERE GETTING ROW J AND E SO IT LOOKS LIKE WHOEVER WAS RELEASING THE TICKETS STARTED AT ROW T AND IS WORKING UP TO ROW A!!
THEY SHOULD BE FIRED FOM THEIR JOB FOR NOT UNDERSTANDINGTHE CONCEPT OF T IS A THE BACK AND A IS AT THE FRONT.ITS HARDLY ROCKET SCIENCE!!
SUCH UNPROFESSIONAL WORK FOR A PRESALE....
ITS A SHAME SO MANY IRISH FANS ARE BEING GIVEN SUCH RUBBISH TICKETS WHEN THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY CLOSER ONES AVAILABLE AS HAS BEEN PROVEN BY PEOPLE PURCHASING LATER ON IN THE DAY.
THE ONLY PLUS IS ,LOOKING AT THE SEATING CHART,BLOCK 303 MAY BE THE 1ST BLOCK ON THE SIDE AS 302 AND 301 SEEM TOO CLOSE TO THE STAGE FOR A SIDEVIEW SO MAYBE NOT BEING USED??.IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THE BLOCK IS NOT BAD BUT THE ROWS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER...
I SHALL WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY TO SEE IF I CAN GET BETTER ONES .SO MUCH FOR A "PRESALE"......
