£145 for standing?? Dirty deeds aren't done cheap after all.

Same. By the time I got through for Dublin tickets, standing was gone and it was €146 for a seat and I would have been sitting alone. So fuck that.I was eager to see this Band live and they're playing on a Friday which is followed by a holiday here in Germany. But I'm not gonna pay 310 Euros for 2 tickets.
Probably seeing Live Wire or Barock for 30 Euros then
Got Vienna second night. Floor. Decided to see the Jonna/Young orchestra, since Maiden Euro gig looks unlikely this year and I haven't seen them before
Utter rat cunts. I can't believe they are allowed to operate in such a fashion.Ticketmaster are horrible though, they kept standing tickets back and just released them later at higher prices. €335 general standing for Dublin or €440 for gold circle. Seville standing all gone then all of a sudden gold circle available now €317. Same with WeWembley.
They did a queue thing which I'd not seen before, ye can join the queue from 10mins before they go on sale. I joined at 7mins to 9am and I ended up number 35,400 in the queue.
I would have taken seats but the guy I was goin with wanted standing or nothing and I didn't wanna sit alone. I went to several gigs alone last year and I've lost the love for it. It's a shame nearly all of my old gig goin comrades are now boring as fuck and don't go out anymore.
I had tickets for DC in Dublin in 95 but my lift bailed and I was 12 so I wasn't allowed to go alone. I thought I had forgiven him but typing this has made me realise that I have not, not one bit, no ma'am.
A mate did the hard work and got our tickets, got upper tier in the Hogan Stand, basically had 30,000 ahead of him when he logged in so was happy to take them.
I didn't go to the Point in 95, but I imagine ticket prices were probably between IR£10 and IR£20 in those days and it was half full, some jump in prices and attendances since then.
Shame! Shame!!I was a fool in 95, I was 15 and AC/DC weren't "cool" anymore
Just keep an eye on Ticketmaster resale and in the week coming up to the gig. More production standing will be released periodically and there will also be lots of people selling who need the money/bought them abroad and couldn't get a hotel in hotel in Dublin.They did a queue thing which I'd not seen before, ye can join the queue from 10mins before they go on sale.

Maiden show in 1995 I think it was 3500 pesetas = 30 €Someone posted a ticket on another forum, quite dear for those days, I think Maiden that January was 11 or 12 quid

YOU'RE RIGHT!!!30€ was 5000 pesetas. They were not even starting charging those prices on the reunion tour (the ticket price for the 1999 show I went to was 4000 pesetas, i.e., 24€).
The ticket price when I saw Maiden for the first time in 1996 was 2200 pesetas (approximately 13.20€), with Helloween as the support band!
