Tickets are £136.70/£88.70/£72.20/£56.45

Block C, rows Y and X are price level 1 £136.70
Block 13, rows Q, U is price level 2 £88.70
Block 11, rows J and K are price level 3 £72.20

The Ticketmaster interface is horrible with no option to choose your seat by plan and each time you try for "Best Available" you have to enter two hard-to-read non-words only to be rewarded with crap.

My first impression is that the presale is a waste of time if you're looking for good seats.

Sneaky. The face value may be £125 but they're selling them at £235.
Now available for priority booking.

[Glennsallnighter]

That's what I got for Dublin.

[UndertheWire]

I missed it. I wasn't really prepared mentally, didn't undertand the game and I was too busy catching up from my trip to Canada to research the subject. If more dates are announced, I'll know better.

This is how it worked:

O2 priority regular tickets, sold at face value but rotten seats
O2 priority club tickets which included pre-show gathering, priced at £315, blcok B or 2 but without specified seats.

Then later in the day:
O2 priority hot tickets. Priced at £235. I was offfered Block B row F (floor central block, fifth row, I think) but passed as what I was after was a tiered seat.

Then yesterday, Platinum tickets which are "market driven" which I think means the prices are set to match the brokers. This has all the seats I might have wanted but sold in pairs at prices up to £600.

I hope that more seats might be realeased at the start of the general sale, but all that happened was that all the £125 face value tickets sold out within minutes.

I found out too late that the venue's own ticket site were selling tickets before today, at face value, and their site is less annoying than ticketmaster. However, there were only a few top priced tickets available by the time I found them and not quite as good as I was hoping for.

I'll check back from time to time. I can get to Birmingham with about a day's notice or even look at London when the extra dates are announced.

Still available at my end for £235 (tiered I think).

[UndertheWire]

I'm getting a few more seats showing up now. Obviously the best seats were held back for Platinum and they are being sold in pairs.

I have a ticket. I used the venue's own ticketing agency because it offered better seats and was easier to use then ticketmaster. At least I should be able to see the screens behind the band.

:yay: for you on getting your ticket, UTW!

[UndertheWire]

Thanks. I'm feeling much calmer now it's sorted and I can go back to sleep for six months. I can hardly believe I'll be seeing them a second time.

[Brooke]

Very exciting for you, UtW! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Congrats UTW!

[UndertheWire]

Maybe I should have held on for just a few more hours. They added another show with tickets going on sale yesterday afternoon.

[Glennsallnighter]

Look at it this way. Maybe nearer the date when your finances have recovered from this one you can treat yourself to the extra date!

[Suze]

Only one month to go now. Going with a girlfriend and we are planning our day out in Birmingham prior to the gig. Getting excited. Who else is going to this one?

[UndertheWire]

30 days and counting...

I'll be there. It will be my first concert on my own but I'm not too worried - at least it's in this country.

Oh, I Wish......:sad:
Have an absolute ball Suze.....and don't forget to come back and tell us all about it! :)

[UndertheWire]

Two weeks!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

WooHoo! I know you'll have a good time! The guys are just awesome!

[StephUK]

Not long now until the guys set foot on British soil !! 5 weeks until London though. I notice they have a break of about a week between Dublin and London. So keep a keen look out Elizabeth(GA) and you might just see an Eagle(hopefully Glenn):grin:

Hope you all have a great time at the Birmingham show. We want a full report on the first UK show please!

[Glennsallnighter]

Suffice to say a lot of 'Birdwatching' is planned between now and then. Less than 3 weeks to Dublin Frey Fever is mounting.....

You can look out for Glenn 'birds' GA, and I'll search for Don!:hilarious:

Oh, to think that they'll be at least four nights anyway in Ireland if not longer. They might do a bit of sightseeing, there's interesting spots down my way. Let's see - kiss the Blarney Stone or Me Don. lol.

I know Don's friends with Paddy Moloney (re I Can't Stand Still) and he lives in Wicklow. Fancy a stake-out GA?

OH, IT'S TOO MUCH FOR A GIRL :faint:

[Glennsallnighter]

Definitely DD! Maybe Desperada can join us too.

[UndertheWire]

I was nice and calm, going about my normal activities, and then I received the "Venue Information".

TOMORROW

Where have the last 6 months gone? And how am I going to get on with some work?

[thelastresort]

Literally a ten minute train ride away from me and I can't do either night because of exams :( Will be interesting to see how they spend the day around here, I look forward to pictures of the Bull Ring on Joe's Twitter :lol:

[UndertheWire]

I feel for you. It must have been hard to resist.

[MaryCalifornia]

WOO HOO UTW and Suze!!!!!

The DJ on The Sound 100.3 actually mentioned on air today that the Eagles are playing tomorrow in "Birmingham....England". I was praying he wasn't going to say Alabama!!!

Can't wait for your reports.

[Glennsallnighter]

Me neither!! Have fun, and this time next week............. :partytime::partytime::partytime:

[Brooke]

It's finally here! Have fun everyone going! :partytime:
