The internet pre sale doesn't include Belfast or Dublin. Anyone know why?

Hi all, great news about the tour! I was just wondering, what site can tickets for the Dublin gig be purchased from as the link for the presale only lists every gig other than this one. Cheers!

The link to the Presale is on the front page, under Dreaming Of A Pogues Christmas. Do you lot always come in the back door like Southies?? *

There is no reason to suppose that the larger venues - Dublin, Belfast, London, Manchester - will sell out immediately, but if it were me buying a ticket, I certainly would not want to take a chance on deferring booking for any of the provincial Academy shows.

Traditionally, if the London shows sell fast enough, we add a third at some point. This would be December 20th this tour. However, this is by no means certain to happen - it didn't last year, for example - so don't try to second guess the promoter. At a certain point the venue will want to take back its reserved third date for another Artist, so we sometimes have to make a decision about the third show with less than complete stats at our disposal, depending on how early we have to relinquish the date. There are no plans to add any shows anywhere else, which you should take to mean we definitely will not be adding any more shows to this tour.

The reason why the Belfast and Dublin shows go on sale later is that the promoter, McCann-Desmond (MCD) works separately, though in close co-operation with the UK promoter Simon Moran (SJM). MCD tend to go about a month later than SJM. Nobody will have authorative information on this before this website, so check back regularly.

Hi !

What do you guys think is the best way to find out when the ticket sale for the Dublin show starts ? Just keep looking here in the forum or is there another way ?

No listing on Ticketmaster.co.uk for Belfast (or Glasgow) show. Where can I buy tickets online for Belfast Kings Hall?

Thanks.

You have two options for the moment:
a) read this thread back and patiently wait;
b) plague the forum with the same question again and again.

You choose how to kill time anticipating desired announcement.

Guys - I'm a newbie to any forums so bear with me.

Desperate to get hold of Belfast tickets, travelling from The Isle of Man for a pre-Christmas treat, Does anyone know any more as to where they are on sale? Ticketmaster + The Kings Hall itself know nothing.

Here's hoping... :D

Just ordered my tickets for both Brixton dates. As far as the RDS website is concerned tickets for Dublin go on sale on the 21st of September.
