Tickets There may not be sharpest tool in the bottom drawer but we do try and keep ourselves relatively secluded from the world we snide and gribe at so if you need (or want) to contact us here and Ireland’s 8th greatest music blog, comment one of the posts or head to Tickets There @ MySpace and send us a private message.

Or! – You can mail tickets there by clicking here ticketsthere@hotmail.com

We’ll be sure to get back to ya ASAP!!

PS – We will reply, no matter how nasty the mail is

BANDS:

Dear bands,

Tickets There has some rules about our reviews and site. The three main rules are below,

• We do not accept any material by post. Tickets There HQ is located in a strictly private, underground, government funded bunker and we are forbidden from revealing the address. Please do not take offense if we refuse any CD’s or other offered items for review. Instead, point us to a streaming source and we’ll check ye out.

• We do not accept Guest List slots. Tickets There isn’t here to create a social life of your back. If we like your music, we’ll be more than happy to pay to hear you play it. It doesn’t mean we’ll get to all, or even 10% of the shows we’d like to but if you’ve really won us over, we’ll catch you sooner or later.

• Tickets There is anti-downloading. If you offer us a link to a site where we can download your album, please don’t assume we’ll do it. We like to protect our machines aswell as your rights. We don’t want a virus and we don’t want to join any sites that offer illegal downloading.

MySpace Reviews:

The MySpace Reviews are based on bands we randomly find from Ireland that we haven’t heard of. These reviews are completely (well, almost) unbiased and they’re generally written up and hour after we’ve found the band. If you ask nicely and we like your music, we may want to review it but not all the time.

If we refuse, it’s either because we didn’t like it or the words just weren’t coming. So far, we haven’t rejected a bands request so make sure you have a quick read of the site, see what we like and ask yourself, ‘will they call us eunuchs if they review us?’ it’s happened before.

Irish Noise! Reviews:

If you’re in a band that’s been mentioned positively on Tickets There and you want more coverage, let us know when you have a new single / album / tour or just general news and we’ll be delighted to stick up a post. We spend a lot of time trying to check of all yer MySpaces, websites, Twitter feeds, face book updates..etc, etc and it never ends so any heads-up mails you can send are greatly appreciated.

Interviews:

Tickets There will soon be moving into the grand auld world of Interviews. We’re waiting on a few things to fall into place before starting but if you’re interested in doing an interview, please let us know.

All queries should be sent to ticketsthere@hotmail.com

So that’s it, please get in touch,
Tickets There
