Argh, that's awful Gwen! I suppose it can't be stopped, but it's pretty shameless...

Good morning friends. I want to say this has been an amazing LC journey for me in that I have met all of you wonderful friends from so many different places. And I'm really looking forward to meeting you again in Dublin. I agree with what many of the comments; we allow ourselves to be caught up in the concert frenzy and we are adults!!!! Lol. However, ticketmaster is a swizz -- when we go to Kilmainhan you will see every journalist, tv celebrity, smoozchers, hangers-on, langers etc. etc. in the best seats-- they have no interest in Leonard. I had this experience in Lissadell. This is how it works in Ireland. I don't expect seats in the first few rows but in a fan pre-sale I expect decent seats -- that wasn't the situation yesterday. I tried again this morning but it was a waste of time -- no tickets at 9.01AM. So the madness stops here. We will have an amazing time together in Kilmainham and we'll give our overseas friends a huge cead mile failte -- 100,000 welcomes. This will be a very special concert for me as Ciara and my other Canadian will be with me. All good things for the weekend, friends.

Yesterday, I posted in frustration so I want to acknowledge what is important -- the people I have met along the LC road.

To Jarkko and Eija -- many, many thanks-- you are the best.

Thank you.

Well said Paula and I 100% agree with everything you said and indeed with so many of our friends coming from far and wide we are all going to have a great time.

I also add my thanks to Jarkko, Eija and the other forum moderators who always try and help us and to you we are eternally grateful.

If i heard it right just now, a new date for Dublin just added ! Friday 14th September!!

According to 2FM radio here in Ireland, another date has been added (I may have misheard but it's the Friday? Doesn't make sense considering the other gigs are on Tues and Weds but I may be wrong)

Did they say when on sale, nothing on TM yet?

Didnt mention on sale date.

An ad on 2FM just now - with Dave Fanning (so he knew!).

Didn't catch that but I'd imagine Monday morning

Great news, especially as I couldn't get decent tickets for the Wednesday.

A third concert on Friday would suit lovely, though it does entail another ticketmaster experience

LC and the band must be doing the tourist thing on Thursday

Ticketmaster have just told me on Facebook they have have no information about a third concert.

So you think I shouldn't keep hitting the reload button of their homepage until my finger is raw?
Going crazy, guys. First the Ghent news and now this...

Up until I had got the info from them I was also refreshing the page. Stopped now. I live in faith that Jarkko will keep us informed as always and just maybe they might release some decent tickets for the fans this time!

Well that's a good one!
I think they must have jumped the gun.

Unless i'm going completely mad i heard an ad on 2FM about 9.20 this morning advertising a third gig on Friday 14th!

I wonder would an ad like that be pre-recorded 'just in case' and they've played it by mistake??

That is a strong possibility. After seeing posts about 2fm I forced myself to listen to it for an hour and heard no ads so chances are it has now being removed.
