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

I've not had an invitation email overnight - does anyone know if that's it or if they are still being sent out until some later time today? Haven't been able to find any details around an end time for invitations....

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?

That’s what I got-I think we will get another email that we have to confirm on. It’s pretty painful though as you have to agree to emails and texts from Oasis and I certainly don’t want that!

Tbf, I think Ticketmaster lost any moral ground it had vs viagogo and the like the moment it started dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster wankers.

Yes, that was incredibly unfair. I’ve never known that happen before.

Just got the confirmation email after about 2 hours so if you don’t have it yet - hang in there!

Thank you 🙏, was starting to worry as registered over 1hr30 and still haven't received the second email...

Sorry 🤭

It's not financially fleecing when it's a luxury and people are willing to spend the money on it. Everyone has different priorities.

DontBiteTheCat · 08/09/2024 09:54

Got the email, just waiting for the confirmation to come through.

Disappointed it’s only 2 tickets per person. The whole thing has left a sour taste in my mouth, I wasted a full day last Saturday getting to the front of the queue and then being kicked out, then selecting tickets and being kicked out on repeat. Feels like I’m now back in the queue to join the queue 🙄.

If my son wasn’t so desperate to go I wouldn’t bother.

My email came through just after midnight. Saw the tweet so checked my emails and it was there. Confirmation came through immediately

Annoyingly it’s only 2 as we were a group of 3 trying last week. If I get a code then will have a look but not spending another full day in a queue

GrizzLee · 08/09/2024 09:50

No ballot email here. I was in the original ballot (no joy) and was queuing for hours last Saturday.

Tulip8 · 08/09/2024 09:50

I'm gutted. Not for myself but DH genuinely wants to go and we've had such a terrible year that I thought this would be a nice treat. It's turned in to further disappointment though.

Is there anything we can do, do you know?

I suppose just wait for resales. The whole process has really fucked me off. I feel like I only want to go now to throw bottles of piss at them to vent my frustration

Greentreesandbushes · 08/09/2024 09:47

yes! Fingers crossed

Quacking4it · 08/09/2024 09:45

No. Am pissed off

Not true says you can resell for face plus booking fees

You're right, it was the code that they said wasn't transferrable!

Were you logged in to your ticketmaster account when you joined the queue?

Yes

whowhatwhen · 08/09/2024 09:41

Yep, got mine this morning

Pretty sure the T&C's on this ballot said you can't transfer the tickets.

Neither DH or I have received emails, does anyone know why? I was quite close to the front of the queue as well and still didn't get any. Doesn't seem fair.

Summernightsinthe21stcentury · 08/09/2024 09:38

My brother hasn't received an email either, and is very disappointed as he was right at the front of the queue with tickets in his basket that he was unable to buy due to the system being terrible.

Leasybaby · 08/09/2024 09:37

Yes, like you, it said nearly there and i would get a email then nothing 🤷‍♀️
