This queuing system is shit. I don't know why the British aren't up in arms about it.

If there's 90k tickets and you can get 4 each, and I joined the queue at 95k, and there's still 68k in front surely the tickets were all gone by the time I reached 70k?

I suspect lots of people are like me. They get to the front, see the only ones left are £500 and then decide not to buy them. So might be worth sticking with it if you’d want platinum tickets. 

I would imagine (hope) they’ll be adding more dates.

Now daughter booted out after we declined platinum tickets at a mere  £489 each. I’m not paying that.  

Hopefully they’ll release more dates or at least tour again. Good luck to everyone else. 

Almost sold out I think bud.

Am I just being old and miserable? Would you have spent £1000 on a pair of tickets? That’s a very decent guitar! 

No mate I wouldn't, me and Mrs Ed agreed to max out around 300 quid and no behind the stage or shit like that.

Cheers. We set a similar limit. And even that is frankly bonkers!

RIGHT - officially given up... fuck it... will look forward to learning the new album, must remember G, Cadd9, Em7... that will do...

Everyone who got tickets, enjoy, well done

Fair enough. Maybe I’m being an idiot. 

maybe i am as well. 400 sovs per ticket for a  gig ffs lol

I’ve got to the front of the queue but it just says ‘something went wrong’ when it has checked availability.
so assume it’s sold out.

How do I put this politely?

It’s interesting watching this from another country, which completely removes the option of getting tickets and puts a totally different perspective on it. 

I completely get why people are going crazy and prepared to pay huge amounts for tickets - the nostalgia for older fans and the chance to see them for fans who were too young the first time around - I’m sure my 14 year old nephew will desperately trying to get his hands on some.  

But being removed from it all, I honestly don’t think I’d be bothered if I was in the UK - a combination of Liam’s voice being shot and it basically looking like NGHFB’s plus Liam, just doesn’t get me excited.  Or perhaps I’m just an old bastard now and stadium gigs just don’t do it for me anymore.  Having said all that though, I’ll definitely be following all the build up and reviews of the gigs and watching clips as they go onto YouTube!

Will this be enough for someone to actually do something about it is the question?

I had that several times. Try platinum tickets if that happens.

Y'know - when G 'n' R reformed (Slash's divorce bill in that case  ), everyone went nuts as it would be their only chance.  Then they played Download, then Glastonbury...

Good point...

Zero joy in the pre-sale (was at work so couldn't access it on the phone properly), and none this am.

Still queuing for the queue which is mad, how many times and different artists do we have to go through this with before someone invents a better system? Honestly at least paper tickets at sales venues favoured the fans not shit house touts and bots.

Hopefully the band follow through and cancel the tickets that are being flogged for thousands and allow everyone another chance, I'm sure there will be more dates anyway.

Well done to those that got tickets, wish I'd favoured Heaton over Wembley now but life works out either way!

This is no surprise. Hype+kids+legacy fans+Ticketmaster = mysery. I hope all the Jakes and Mollies enjoy it.

Exactly. This is the way popular culture is now we largely socialize and transact online.

Can they honestly cancel tickets being bought on 'unofficial' re-sale sites, or are these just empty threats?

Can this thread be moved to the Recent Scams thread?

If it’s in the T&C’s that tickets can only be sold at face value, then I guess they can.

You would think with the amount they charge in fees they would be able to afford a website that doesn't do this every single time big events go on sale.

Boromedic

Finally into the actual website and into a queue (for shits and giggles), 372000 in front of me, fuck off.............. what a load of shite, send some to the independent record stores, I'd have gone and queued as would other genuine folk.

I'm trying to understand this platinum thing. Whenever I've seen those listed on gigs I've assumed it was some sort of package deal maybe with a drink and goody bag included or something.
I just googled it and on the Ticketmaster site it says it's not part of a package it's just a normal ticket that they've seen is 'in demand' so they've upped the price.
Well they're all in demand aren't they? Its been in the news all week. So have they said that a ticket is £135 but then as soon as they go on sale they're pretending they didn't realise it would be this popular and actually they're going to have to be £400?
