Yesterday, Beyoncé announced her Renaissance World Tour dates but there was a startling omission on her schedule - not a single Irish city featured.
“Then again there’s getting all your equipment to Ireland; so, let’s say you’re doing a UK tour and then you have to get everything over to another island and you’re not guaranteed the sales.
The gardai don’t want the extra work, security firms don’t want the extra work, Ireland’s meant to be a hard working country 😂😂😂 this country is really and truly gone to the dogs
But blur were always sh*te....
Blur are has beens from 25 years ago
I remember paying £40 for three days at Feilé back in the 90s. That’s three days of world class bands for just £40. I wouldn’t pay well over €100 for one band these days. No way.
People can’t afford the crazy prices for tickets. These artists are putting on borderline Karaoke shows these days.
Going to Paris for Springsteen. Total package for flights, the gig and seven nights in Montmartre, €1,150. Making a week's holiday out of it and catching up with old friends.
Sinn Féin.
RipOffIreland. In our rush to prove ourselves better than the Brits we have priced ourselves out of the tourist/entertainment industry. For example a pint of beer costs €3.50 in the EU £4 in the UK & €6.50/7 here, this kind of price gouging extends to all areas of Irish life
And Pink who’s been playing here for over 20 years. This is first tour we are not included in. And looks like the list is growing.
When Croke park is three times the cost of Wembley then something is seriously wrong!!! That’s what was reported yesterday regarding a Katie Taylor fight venue.
It’s good Beyoncé and Madonna not coming 😈😈😈😈😈
This feeds into the Katie Taylor/Croke Park fiasco. Apparently it’s 3 times cheaper to stage that fight at Wembley. Allegedly the reason is the security for Croker would cost €500,000, around 3 times as much as Wembley. Too many hands in the pie and everyone wants big slices.
They probably saw the hotel prices and it put them off coming to Ireland
Not enough for these greedy supernovas is the likely reason,The super rich forget the average salary of fans.
Something needs to be done quickly about this. Why the hell is Ireland so expensive for everything? Absolute joke. Who do we think we are?!
Regulated i.e taxed out of business innit
The cost of venues is obviously 1 problem. Maybe Beyonce, Madonna.... can't get a hotel as they are full of fakugees. LeoVaradkar will have to get out the government jet, to go see Kylie.
Probably struggling to find a hotel room - full of ‘refugees’!
100 odd blips for tickets nowadays, people can't afford it
Cost
Will you talk about this at some point
Rip off Ireland has finally caught up on the industry. I'm delighted for them . The hotels and venue owners are robbing average people
It's simple. We are too expensive. Between insurance and ticket prices. It's cheaper to go and see them in the uk and Europe. Get use to seeing more of this.
Dublin is a rip off always price gouging
It’s the smell, lads. I’d have thought that was obvious.
No loss there so.
It's not just performing artists. Tourists will soon be of a similar mindset. You can get too much of a good thing
Would it be prices of the hotels? 😉
Thankfully.
Imagine its cheaper for fans to fly to England, book a hotel and buy a ticket.a lot cheaper,than it is to go to a gig in rip off ireland.
