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

Good grief, it's not 'beyond selfish' 🙄

I queued for about 6 hours, no joy. BIL got some tkts in the presale, luckily we're going with him. Now I've got a place in the ballot (I didn't ask for it) if I could get x2 more tickets, I could transfer them to friends, who also desperately wanted to go but didn't get a tkt either.

Don't panic folks. I'm not going to go twice, or sell them for a fortune on Viagogo or whatever, as I understand it they'd be cancelled anyway!

If I didn't do anything with the invite, it doesn't mean that it would be reallocated to somebody else would they get it. So that really would be a waste.

So perhaps take your 'beyond selfish' and reframe it as somebody trying to do a nice thing. It might/probably won't go any further anyway!

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

I got the email filled in the registration and get to the nearly there section and have had no email of confirmation and it's been half hour hoping it's a backlog as most people will be up and registering now how long did it take for your confirmation emails to come through?

I doubt anyone else would have access to your email address, let alone know you were registered and in a queue on that day.

They're genuine but I can understand pp being wary. This is how these scammers operate... sending out thousands of emails in the hope some will fall into an appropriate inbox. Like the fake evri ones etc.

Me too! I do remember the presale ballot confirmation took a while so still hopeful. Can't believe I'm putting myself through this again after the hell from last Saturday!

My confirmation email just arrived! Good luck everybody 🤘

NancyLe · 08/09/2024 09:29

My confirmation has just come through. Can breathe a sigh of relief now 🙃

My DH is considering buying tickets on viagogo - would these definitely be likely to be cancelled? Is that what happened with Taylor Swift?

If you do you become part of the problem

Rumplestiltz · 08/09/2024 09:26

my confirmation has come. Took over an hour.

SlashBeef · 08/09/2024 09:25

Yeah got confirmation but I'm not holding out much hope!

Its been about 90 mins since I filled out the ballot entry, not had a confirmation email, am getting twitchy!! Now worried that I answered the question wrong!

Do not buy from that website

Clarice1974 · 08/09/2024 09:19

I received the invitation email, filled out the ballot form, still no confirmation email re oasismynet, going to retry I think 🤷🏼‍♀️

NancyLe · 08/09/2024 09:18

I'm getting worried now. Filled in the form 2 hours ago at least and still no confirmation email?😫

No it's for people who queued for any date, I only queued for Manchester and have had the email overnight.

Sorry typo. I meant to say for specific dates – not specific Wembley date.

Bluebellsinthewind · 08/09/2024 09:12

@Didimum it's for any venue. I tried to get tickets for Edinburgh last weekend.

Don't do it, or at least definitely not yet, they'll likely be cancelled.

Twickets is your best bet, but not until nearer the time.

The confirmation emails can take a really long time, so no one should fret.

In order to have been invited to the ballot, you had to be logged into Ticketmaster for the main sale and have queued for a specific Wembley date – they aren’t going out to everyone who logged into queue in general and it isn’t connected to the pre-sale date.

I was in the queue for Manchester. 🙂

Yes me.

And me.

giespiece · 08/09/2024 09:08

Yes, and had the confirmation email that I've been entered into the ballot

Bluebellsinthewind · 08/09/2024 09:08

Not long woken up and was surprised to see, I had the email. I've filled it in and the last page said, nearly there with the terms and conditions.

Here we go again 🤣

I live in the Highlands. If I am lucky enough to get tickets for Wembley, will cost us a fortune 🤣

Josephina7470 · 08/09/2024 09:04

I am still waiting too.

Mine has literally just come though! It took around an hour and a half.

FunkyMonks · 08/09/2024 09:07

Yep got it as well
