Sorry if this has been said before, but I'm not surprised Croke Park hasn't sold out.

I don't think Ireland/Croke Park was a good choice for Prince. It's hardly central to anywhere except Ireland and there obviously aren't that many Irish Prince fans! The ticket prices are extortionate (3 x the price of the O2 tickets)

If he wanted to do a stadium either Wembley or Cardiff would have been a better choice. It seems strange almost sad that 10 days after the tickets went on sale you can still get them from ticketmaster when you compare that to last year at the O2. I know I'm being selfish as I live in England, but I just hope the lack of sales doesn't cause him to cancel this gig or any plans for European gigs.

By the way, I am going to Croke Park as I couldn't miss the chance of seeing him.

It will be sold out on the day. Irish people are not freaks. We take things easy. We will decide to go at the last minute. It will be sold out

MCD : 19,000 SOLD as of 15/03/2008

FRIGGIN' MONDAY NIGHT GIG,overseas travel,day off work(maybe two)VERY PRICEY TICKETS and travel and hotel etc.....

82,500 is pushing it a tad my little purple leprechaun....

Me thinks if sales dont get any better,there will be a NOTICE at the begining of June that the HIPHOP at Croke park is cancelled as the HIP OP is due on concert date and not that half the tickets are still lying at Ticketmaster,lol....

MCD : 19,000 SOLD as of 15/03/2008

Where did you get this info?

eireboy34 said:

MCD as stated in original post

RIPGODAZIPPER said:

I'm surprised they give that sort of info.

If it's true it's fairly disastrous.....the bets are on for when they'll announce the cancellation.

RIPGODAZIPPER said:

I can't find this info on the website - was you told over the phone.

I must say I find it hard to believe it is only 19,000

WHATEVER.....
Why do people have to ruin it for everyone else?
Stop trying to make out that its gonna be cancelled just because u are not going.
I am so excited and i dont need to hear about how it may be cancelled when u have nothing to back it up whatsoever.
How does anyone know how many tickets have been sold so far?
Get a life instead of posting negative threads.
It will go on
So there

carax said:

Firstly,I am going,tickets got and already mentioned in other posts!!!
Secondly,the PROMOTER (MCD) have constant updates of ticket sales!!!
And IF and when they get a license for the event,sales might speed up!!!!
Thirdly,Life is got and this is a forum,a place for free speech,so stop crying when u see something u don't like or get your facts straight before you type ur utter crap!!!

I will go on,SO THERE!!!!!

carax said:

I'm going too and althought I'm Irish I'm flying in especially from Paris!!!

So there too!

If this really is the truth I think bringing up the idea of a cancellation is more than legit; it wouldn't be the first time he's done it.....

eireboy34 said:

Merci Eireboy,I NEVER said it is cancelled,merely a LIGHTHEARTED quip at what could happen and as u stated HAS happened before,but some people(carax)dont read and start throwing their toys out their pram before logic has sunk in.....
Besides with 3 months still remaining and along with confirmation from MCD that a license has been issued,I'm sure it will fill up,maybe not 80,000 on a Monday night,but I'm sure numbers will rise.....

Peace and Pomme frites

righty oh

carax said:

I think some people need to chill out - it's gonna be awesome and it will be bustin on the night. Cancellation my hole

19k my arse

Bring on the purple pixie

RIPGODAZIPPER said:

ouch....my eyes are hurting

eireboy34 said:

i can't see how this is true. as far as i can tell pitch standing and gold circle are sold out, along with all the sides right down to 327 on lower tier. it seems to be only the area facing the stage that are left, and in fairness 130 euro for that view is scandalous.

please correct me if i am wrong.

cathyt said:

yes i am wondering the same.
i think its someone throwing out a bunch of lies trying to scare us into thinking it will be cancelled.
i really hate some people on here with there carry on

MODERATORS INFORMED

CYA ALL at gig

RIPGODAZIPPER said:

sad

lets just concentrate on how good it will be to see prince again. i for one cannot wait,

it's gonna be a beautiful night.

cathyt said:

Indeed.....

I just got the MCD e-newsletter. No mention of Prince - it must be selling well or they'd be pushing it.

They're pushing the Police in Belfast very hard the last while which mustn't be selling to well for them.

jimmyv said:

Somebody hee mentioned 19 000 sold...still don't know where he got info.

I reckon they've sold about half the capacity.

MCD do not post ticket sale updates on their website and certainly I have never seen updates. if you go to ticketmaster and try to purchase 1 ticket, you will see gold & pitch are gone and the hogan/cusack stands both upper and lower are not sold right alonmg the length of the pitch, only the very back of these stands + davin stand remain so as estimated on previous threads approx 65,000 tickts are sold, and i believe 50,000 sold on day 1

riverjones said:

Which isn't bad.....don't know wher orger got figure of 19 000....maybe he could explain more????

riverjones said:

What riverjones is saying is true! Whoever is saying only 19,000 tickets have sold is wrong. U know this because of the limited remaining options on ticketmaster.
It's goin 2 b an amazing night!

N3B said:

WHO THE HELL CARES WHO SAID WHAT!!!! I remember reading the post and whoever posted stated it was information from a "friend" in the GARDA not MCD,so until river/n3b get what was ACTUALLY said,who are we to DECIDE who is right and who is wrong,so RIVERJONES and N3B,quit BAITING and keep on topic with ACTUAL facts that were written,I'm fed up reading about all u KNOW IT ALLS,when no one really knows at all,STFU and just keep on topic.....

LET'S JUST ENJOY THE CONCERT...

Cheers

I dont like people trying to ruin the positive mood towards the concert! Saying only 19,000 tickets have sold, which is not true, as ive spoken to MCD on the phone. I sure will be enjoying the concert will be amazing! Where are your tickets booked for in the stadium SupaFunkyCaliFragiSexy?

Thanks!

This thread was started by someone stating their concerns that they aren't surprised the concert hasn't sold out...END OF.....Nothing to do with a positive mood as that can be another thread!!!It's a forum,that person has a right to write what they want and to have a thread HIJACKED BY U know alls claiming U know this and she knows that and I phoned them and they told me this is utter crap and it's a pain in the ass to read as the initial poster just voiced their thoughts....

Now give it up the lot of u so called KNOW ALLS,ur a boring read as the lot of u know UTTER SQUAT!!!!!

Peace enjoy the concert,empty,half full,whatever!!!!!
