Is anyone else getting unreasonably mad that the ticketmaster site has completely crashed whilst trying to secure oasis tickets?!

Yeah this was me. Absolutely gutted tbh when I missed out on pre sale and queued for hours.

it takes the piss when they bash the touts and say “tickets should only be resold at face value”…. Unless it’s Ticketmaster who can use dynamic pricing???

Exactly! £400+ for 1 seat high up in the upper tier from ticketmaster when I’ve looked! So I’m not going.

AngeloMysterioso · 31/08/2024 20:02

It isn’t Ticketmaster who decides whether to use the dynamic pricing facility, it’s the band and the tour promoters. Be mad at them.

I managed to get to look for tickets but they were £356 each for standing. Not paying that, so that's that.

I’ve just got to the front after over 8.5 hours (crashed multiple times) and as soon as I could browse tickets it booted me out again. What a fucking waste of a day.

Yes basically this. I'm ok with not getting tickets. I'm annoyed I queued for nearly 8 hours to get thrown out as soon as I enter.

I was on the app too

It took another 20 minutes to get to the Oasis tickets part from saying I was about to join the queue.
So 11-4pm virtually queueing to join a queue. Makes Alton Towers look good anyway. Grin
Hope you all got the tickets you want.

Clearly... we did not! 🤣

I agree and don’t think they will be able for a big tour like Niall Horan or Coldplay or Taylor Swift who are up on treadmills all day, lifting weights, and are almost athletes with the show schedules.

The money might be rolling in today, but not many people at that age could perform at the highest level expected for months on end.

Nonsense. Much older artists have residencies in Vegas. Oasis don't exactly prance around the stage, they never have!

Myfavouritedog · 31/08/2024 16:22

I was up at 3:40am (in the US), joined queue for the queue, got into the numbered queue at 9:24, ‘my turn’ at 10:29, found tickets after search. Went to pay and booted me out. Now can’t get back in. It’s 11:21 now. My sister in the UK got 2 tickets through the ballot, we needed 5 total. So tired and pissed off. What a waste of time

4 hours in a queue for 30th July, got through - nothing left except ridiculously priced tickets and every time I tried to select two got “checking availability” and then an error and told to select different tickets.

Waste of time.

Same! Infuriating as I queued from 9am to 3pm. I even took the queue shopping with me to Aldi!

Yeah. I got to the front and it said tickets were available but there was nothing to select so I’ve shut it all down. I’m enjoying my afternoon now, unburdened by queues!

Same. Got to the front, nothing under about £300 left and we couldn't select them or check them out anyway. Given up! Oh well.

Tcateh · 31/08/2024 16:01

Went for a 2 hour nap (of sorts)
Looked and I'm no 1 in the queue 😆

Amazing. Alas on clicking I'm not I'm still a bot/error503/ saddo !

MargaretThursday · 31/08/2024 15:59

Well I went on at 11am, at 4pm it tells me they are just redirecting me to the website. I would say that my excitement cannot be exceeded, but I'd be lying. 🤣

VenusStarr · 31/08/2024 15:59

Ticketmaster keeps logging me out now, every time I join the queue due to 'inactivity' 👍

VenusStarr · 31/08/2024 15:41

I got to 24000 in the queue then it kicked me out.... 🫠

BG2015 · 31/08/2024 15:09

£357 standing - no thanks!

DrRiverSong · 31/08/2024 14:27

AnonymousBleep · 31/08/2024 14:16

42,000 in front of me - and I am not paying more than £200 per ticket so I am probably wasting my time!

DrRiverSong · 31/08/2024 13:20

I still have over 26,000 in the queue ahead of me. Not sure why I’m putting myself through it 🤣

BobnLen · 31/08/2024 13:56

I can't understand that they are saying that tickets have to be face value but then Ticketmaster is allowed to sell by dynamic pricing for a lot higher prices. Obviously there is going to be a high demand when tickets go on sale, it all seems a bit of a nasty con, I'm not interested in getting these tickets but this is not a good thing.

Phase2 · 31/08/2024 13:33

It's annoying I can't buy other Ticketmaster tickets as I have to join a queue when I want ABBA Voyage

BG2015 · 31/08/2024 13:18

Were the same. The blue line and is now under the word 'your' - just sat here reading so just letting it keep running.

Expecting to see £500 VIP tickets left.

My DP is convinced they're going to add more mid week dates to join up some of the weekends - let's hope he's right!

Lemons1571 · 31/08/2024 13:16

Anyone know if there’s any tickets still available? I am half way through the numberless ticketmaster queue (been in it 3 hours now) and also keep refreshing the 2 other tickets websites but don’t want to bother if they’re all sold out anyway.

Baneofmyexistence · 31/08/2024 12:54

We got Heaton Park tickets. Got in the waiting room at 8.20, were 23,000 in the queue when it opened. About an hour and a half to get through the queue. All worked ok on the app though and with payments thank goodness!
