Has anyone else got the email being invited to the ballot for the new dates?

I was being patient waiting for my email confirmation but I've just seen on TikTok several videos where they get the "you're confirmed" after they've looked at the Ts and Cs. I didn't get that. Others have said they didn't seem to get a confirmation so I wasn't too worried but now I've seen these videos I'm thinking something is wrong somewhere.

3 hours and no email.

No email here for me or DS despite trying the first ballot and both of us queuing for hours last Saturday ☹️

mrshoho · 08/09/2024 11:42

Finally got the confirmation email so first hoop jumped through. Next hoop will be wait to see if I get another email with a code that should arrive no later than 9pm 13th September. If I get a code then third hoop will be logging on to ticketmaster I assume next Saturday and queuing to enter a fecking lobby to wait to buy the tickets. I should know better but here goes.

That creates its own unfairness though in being more accessible to those who don’t have to work that day/can take annual leave easier/don’t have kids to sort etc.

I would have those issues too but it still seems fairer to me. I live in an apparent ‘hotspot’ where people couldn’t even get onto the site, so even with work/ kids sorted I had zero chance. Technology is great when it works.

@Mebfl if you registered for the previous ticket ballot they would have your email address from that I think, even if you didn’t get a code last time. It looked like the same page I got before.

That’s the thing - I didn’t .. I only took a punt last Saturday morning and logged into ticketmaster at 7.55 am to see how I got on !

What form?

The first email takes you to a form to complete and answer a question, you then get a second email which can be a few hours later with a link to click on to join the ballot

Lex345 · 08/09/2024 07:16

I just got my confirmation email about 40 mins after completing the form

What form?

No confirmation email yet here but fingers crossed. 2 is a joke though, queued 5 hours on Saturday for 4!

They'll by 20 and 18 by the time of the concert, so no worries there

Ah you're grand then, good luck!

IWasHittingMyMarks · 08/09/2024 11:09

FriendlyNeighbourhoodAccountant · 08/09/2024 10:49

How old are they? Need an adult with them and the ballot is only for two tickets

premeditated · 08/09/2024 11:08

Just got my confirmation email - 3ish hours after completing the registration form. Good luck everyone🤞

JustLikeJasper · 08/09/2024 11:05

@TokyoSushi how about leaving tickets to those that haven't got any at all?

SkylarkKitten · 08/09/2024 11:02

I got the email from Oasismynet but the registration involves accepting marketing emails AND marketing texts which may charge you (as stated on the tick box)

There is no option to proceed without accepting both!

Much as I'd like to go, I'm not being forced into accepting marketing junk and being charged for texts (at an unknown rate) and it's frankly unacceptable.

I wonder how much more pension pot money the Gallaghers are getting by this latest method of ticket purchasing.

I'm done with it!

Yes this is what I got too and that was it. Seems a bit odd. I think from reading it multiple times that it until you hopefully get access code on 133th September?

No, you need to keep an eye on your emails for the confirmation email. Once you’ve clicked the link on that you’re successfully entered for the ballot. It’s taking a few hours to come through but you’re not in the ballot until you’ve had that email and clicked the link.

TUGGY2006 · 08/09/2024 10:54

FHNow · 08/09/2024 06:48

Yes. I found the registration form a bit unsatisfactory though. I don’t know if I am
signed up now for oasismynet and have had no confirmation email yet. My last page said ‘nearly there’ with terms and conditions. Is that what you had?

SpanielPaws · 08/09/2024 10:54

Yes had the original email at 5am and thanks to a grandchild staying over, saw it almost immediately had the confirmation email an hour or so later.

I'm just not sure that my heart is in going through all that palaver again on Ticketmaster though - I was in the waiting room for nearly 3 hours and then got bombed off!

Dancingqueen90 · 08/09/2024 10:50

I didn't get the email! Nor did DH. We were in the queue for ages...such a farce!

Good luck who got into the ballot. Hope it goes your way x

IWasHittingMyMarks · 08/09/2024 10:42

Hilarious.

I signed in to see if there was any chance of getting tix via Ticketmaster on the day, was about 200,000 in the queue, realised there was no chance and prices were insane and fluctuating upwards, so gave up after about 10 minutes. Closed my computer and went out for the day.

Just got an email that I'm now in with a potentially sensible chance for the new dates. My teenage boys will be thrilled. They really want to go.

GrammarTeacher · 08/09/2024 10:49

So irritating. If it hadn't crashed when it did, we would have tickets. But nothing. Again. And it's not even for me. I'm still confused that the Manics supported them at Knebworth. If they promised to only play stuff from the first two albums and those b-sides I'd be more interested.
Still, I'm sure Economics teachers can get a whole term's worth of lessons out of all this.

IWasHittingMyMarks · 08/09/2024 10:47

Proud owner of exactly 2 teenage boys 😃
Chalk and cheese at times, but they'll figure it out if I get them 😂

Fingers crossed you get them! That would be some serious mum points for you Smile

IWasHittingMyMarks · 08/09/2024 10:47

DontBiteTheCat · 08/09/2024 10:45

It’s limited to 2 tickets each if you a) get a code b) can buy tickets with the code.

I hope you only have 2 teenage boys or there could be some fighting!

How long after comleting the form did you receive this? I’ve completed mine and not had one back 😔 it’s been about half hour.

Mine took well over 2 hours. Don’t worry.

fadedrose · 08/09/2024 10:35

We wanted to sit together as a family of four so even if it was for a venue near us it wouldn’t have been any good with the two ticket limit.

I much preferred queueing up in person at ticket offices/ stores. I got oasis tickets with no issue doing it that way in the past.

That creates its own unfairness though in being more accessible to those who don’t have to work that day/can take annual leave easier/don’t have kids to sort etc.
