Oasis ballot

I paid £104 per ticket, or £106. Something like that.

What were the prices, if you don’t mind me asking?

They should have and I reserve the right to say 'i told you so' over it!!!

It's not a particularly novel idea. U2 have had two fan pools for twenty odd years, before they go on general sale.

I think Ticketmaster probably shot themselves in the shoot because I do think dynamic pricing is going to be difficult to justify again...

I was amazed how easy it was today. I had a 3.30 slot and had two tickets in 10 minutes! Why couldn’t they have done that before?!

Hmmm. The ballot sales have closed. There are currently no tickets available.

However....

....this looks very much like there are unsold Sunday tickets in the system which will have to be released at some point.

I'm curious.

Also it doesn't appear like they even tried dynamic pricing this time around, which is interesting in itself . Could be wrong but I've not seen anything to suggest they did.

There's either an admission of guilt in there, there are clearly legal issues they didn't want legal liability exposure to it and/or the band were not terribly happy at dynamic pricing and the pr from it.

Interesting.

I even did it on 5G as I was at an extra curricular with my kids. I’m annoyed it was restricted to two tickets as I’m going to go with my sister and the husbands will miss out, but it’s better than nothing as many have found themselves with.

I got mine as well. The website was a bit slow when choosing seats but it was much, much easier than the first time round!

In view of no luck with tickets I'm looking at going to see some Oasis tribute bands. I love the songs and some of the performers are brilliant and very entertaining.
I'll also keep an eye on any reasonable resale too.

Got my tickets at 12:11 was very easy to get them with the ballot.

will you be trying for tix?

For those who are gutted about not getting code or no tickets honestly give it till next year and all the prats that greedly scooped up a load of tickets in hope of making £££ off fans will be selling them off for face value closer to the dates your better off holding off till then with likes of twickets who are a legit company and only sell at face value or less not more so those that paid £350 plus for £150 tickets won't get more than £150 or less.

I will be doing that myself come next year for Cardiff dates and as others have pointed out this could go either way they may have a spat and call the whole thing off or the shows could be completely awful because of the tension and lack of chemistry between the two that it would feel better sitting watching paint dry with a CD on in the background.

Also now feeling relieved I didn't get a code.
Have too much to do today.

And booked a couple of smaller venue shows at much more sensible prices to see bands/musicians who are amazing and talented and not just in it for the huge payday.

Thank you!!

I think we have seen over the last few weeks that Ticketmaster/Live Nation do not have any integrity anyway so wouldn’t be surprised that there is a loophole they can get through

Since it was only £4.95 a ticket we thought it was better to be safe than sorry

I'm not sure how they'd get round that? Surely then they're not delivering the service you've paid for so they'd be obliged to refund you?

Yeah just the link from my email about 20 minutes before. When I got in there was about 3500 ahead of me and took about 5 minutes to clear the queue

I had the code written down too as I was going from the link on my email so didn’t want to have to go back and get it in case that made me come out of the queue. You don’t put the code in until you are about to select the tickets

(important point in there for later queues - less demand for Sunday tickets.)

@Itisjustmyopinion

Well done! I'm in the 3.30 slot. What worked well for you? When did you join the queue etc and did you just use the link from your email?!?

Interesting - no queue to get onto Ticketmaster website.

There is a message saying
Latest Updates
09:08 AM
UPDATE: Standing and £74.45 tickets in the 08:30 sale for Saturday 27 September are no longer available. There are currently more ticket options for the Sunday show, you can join the queue

Twitter is quiet. Not much drama (this is good).

I do note complaints about September shows already being on resellers.

And people trying to sell lots of X3 tickets and X4 tickets for shows you could only buy pairs of tickets for.

But otherwise this is, so far, looking like a much better way to do things.

Will be interesting to see if people complain at 10am about having not got tickets.

Tickets purchased for a normal price and no stress. See if they want to they can actually make Ticketmaster work

Word of warning for those in the later queues (I know a few said yesterday that they were on the 12 queue) - buy the extra ticket insurance for £5 per ticket as there is a warning box that I nearly missed saying that standard Ticketmaster coverage will not cover the band cancelling which is a very high possibility

No code for me either. Really wanted tickets for DSs 21st, which just happens to be the weekend of the new Wembley dates. Disappointing.

No code here and completed the registration for the ballot early. Hopefully those that have codes have a better tine of it than last week. Pretty sure it will be epic and everyone who does get tickets will have a great time!

4 of us too and no codes .X

Same here am so over it all now ... hours of queuing to get through to tickets then be booted ! Never again for me ... seen them many times back in their prime so am happy enough .X

No code for me either
