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!

Got the email after midnight, registered & got the confirmation by return. Last time it took about 12 hours. Think it's very random!

Yes me.

I am still waiting too.

Glitterybee · 08/09/2024 09:03

No 😭

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?

Yes I’ve had one. I’ve still not received a confirmation email yet though. I think I got the bot question right hopefully. I keep checking to see if I get confirmation but nothing so far.

ItsMintUpNorth · 08/09/2024 09:02

Just got confirmation email after about an hour and a half.

Snackpocket · 08/09/2024 09:01

No email for me and I was registered before with 2 email addresses. I absolutely cannot complain though as we have tickets for Heaton park my husband got in the presale so feel very lucky!

But we’d rather have Wembley and one of the new dates is on my husbands birthday. If we’d have got tickets to that we’d have sold the Manchester tickets to my cousin.

Squeezetheday · 08/09/2024 07:47

Beyond selfish. So you already have tickets but thought you’d try and get more even though it’s supposed to be for people who didn’t get tickets the first time

Come off it. It’s called a lottery for a reason.

Donna1001 · 08/09/2024 08:56

Yes, both my husband & I have got the ballot email so we’ve both applied. Only if we both get codes will we buy tickets though as there are 4 of us.

no confirmation email yet though. I only did it an hour ago though.

Yes me.

Just got mine now

I got one this morning which said they noted I had tried to get tickets using my Ticketmaster account last time and failed. Took about 30 minutes for the ‘confirm entry’ email to arrive. After the whole Taylor Swift code fiasco I’m a veteran with this code/ticket/resale malarkey. If I can get 4 just to stop the scalpers then I will.

It’s only two tickets per code this time it says on the terms

Beansprout30 · 08/09/2024 08:50

Morph22010 · 08/09/2024 08:48

I had the same and I’ve just had my confirmation email after about 2 hours

Thanks perhaps I’ll get one soon!

unchienandalucia · 08/09/2024 08:49

Yes me! And the confirmation email followed an hour after I'd entered.

Lampan · 08/09/2024 08:48

I got it last night. Won’t be bothering though. I only registered initially to try and get tickets for a friend, but the whole thing is such a farce and has got very unpleasant.

Beansprout30 · 08/09/2024 08:40

Im stuck on the terms and conditions, can’t go any further and no email yet. I completed the form an hour ago

Clarky76 · 08/09/2024 08:41

Same here. Completed form and it said nearly there. Checked emails and no confirmation one. Completed again a couple of times because I was unsure if had gone through?! Fingers crossed

I got two emails overnight to the two addresses we have registered for ticketmaster but they both came from an email address openstageit.com. I’ve googled and not convinced it’s genuine. I was expecting it to come from Oasismynet. I want to join the ballot but don’t want to get scammed. Anyone had the same?

Yeah same here. Same email address, openstageit,com and scared to click on the link incase someone out there is scamming fans and these are not the official emails.

I took the plunge. For anyone else concerned, the email link from oasis@ openstageit.com took me to the questionnaire and ballot question, then the Nearly there page saying I will get another email. So either legit or we have all been scammed

I'm in Ireland, I got the email.
I don't want to go to Wembley! I doubt they are putting another Irish date on.

Me too! Also got the email, also was trying to get tickets for Croke, along with literally everyone else in the world as they made the crazy decision to put Irish dates on sale an hour before everyone else 🙄

I actually don’t want to pay £150 to see them though. We went to Liam Gallagher a fortnight ago in Belfast and it was great fun singing along to all the Definitely Maybe tracks and B sides, but he had support from Kasabian and it was about £65! And it wasn’t even sold out 😂

I can feel myself getting caught up in all the hype but I’m going to resist if the ballot selection is successful I think, would be tempted by another Irish date though.

Summernightsinthe21stcentury · 08/09/2024 08:34

I think you had to be in the queue last Saturday on Ticketmaster to qualify for this ballot.
