Does anyone know where Ticketmaster is finding the Block B tickets it is still selling for Lissadell Sat. 31st., since it was supposed to have sold out in 6 minutes? Do they deliberately retain some tickets, for later bookers? If so, the "sold out" tag is inaccurate. On the Pod site Sat. is still labelled " Sold out".

Any truth in the rumour that Yusuf Islam is playing at Lissadell also? ;-)

This happens frequently--I would like to know what their policy is re holding back tickets!! :?

I remember reading somewhere that tickets can come back on sale where there was an initial error in booking them that wasn't picked up by TM straight away and only discovered when they were processing the order. If you try to buy tickets for a sold out gig they have a notice to try again later as more may become available. That is what has happened here.
For those who are worried about their tickets they can log onto TM and check the ticket status.

Re Seaweed baths:
I am interested in having one and see that there is one in Strandhill close to Sligo and one an hour away in Enniscrone called Kilcullen's.
If anyone has been would you mind telling me the difference as I can't decide which one to go to.
I will be going by local bus or taxi.
Thanks

Hi All
I'm sorry if this question has been answered already. i haven't been able to catch up on the posts in the last two weeks and there are so many now ! :D :D
Do we know who is supporting Lenny yet? I see that Westlife are confirmed for the Friday, is seems a little suspicious to me??? will they be the support act?

Also is anyone else a bit upset of this, i really wanted to tell my grandkids that I attended the first concert in lisadell house and that it was none other than the great leonard Cohen :(
It would have seemed more appropriate for such a historic building.
thanks and again appologies if this has already been addressed

As far as I know, there's been no word of a support.... I think the vast majority of shows have not had a support act (certainly the ones I've been to...) although if memory serves Damien Rice was at Kilmainham (I wasn't ;-) )

I think you can rest easy.... not a chance in hell that it'll be Westlife (I hope :shock: :shock: :shock: )

Westlife are doing their own show on the Friday.... so you won't be at the very first concert at Lissadell... unless... :roll:
you may be right, I may be crazy.... but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for...

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..... plenty

I heard that at least 6 maybe more, women from the Olympic blouse throwing team (and some of their partners) from the last concert in the US in November
(see thread 'Closing Time' in San Jose 2009)
will be at both concerts in Sligo!
