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

Cattery · 13/09/2024 22:53

No code for any of us but when I’ve looked on YouTube at the standing crowd surges I’m not sure it’d be for me

I've not had one. Bit disappointed in a way but equally relieved not to have the horror of ticketmaster again. I think they've probably made sure that everyone with a code will get 2 tickets which is fair enough I guess.

They've been fairly explicit that codes don't guarantee tickets so I expect we'll still have disappointed people

frustratedhuman · 13/09/2024 21:01

no codes here

@Itisjustmyopinion i was also wide awake in the middle of the night and responded straight away. But no code for me! 😢

Same

Itisjustmyopinion · 13/09/2024 20:01

Out of everyone I know that applied I was the only one that got a code. I happened to check my emails just as the registration email came in (was during the night and having a couldn’t sleep night). Registered and acknowledged straight away while everyone else I know didn’t do it until the morning

Not sure if it was a first come, first served thing but made me think why I got one

Annoying that it’s only 2 after it being 4 last time and even if I get on tomorrow I am not going to go high in price. Let’s see how much Ticketmaster can screw it up this time

Hopebridge · 13/09/2024 19:58

Nothing and apparently all the codes have been sent :(

Squeezetheday · 13/09/2024 19:56

Nothing here either 😭 although slightly relieved to not have to spend ££££ on tickets or do battle on Ticketmaster again

Bonnie79 · 13/09/2024 19:21

It's only two new dates isn't it? 27th and 28th of September, so 180k tickets, presumably everyone wanted to buy the maximum of 2 per person it's 90k people who will be successful with their codes.

You're right! Don't know why I said three. I would have imagined they'd release more codes can tickets available, however – assuming they are looking to easily sell out. Do we think more than a million people were in the ballot?

FriendlyNeighbourhoodAccountant · 13/09/2024 18:56

Didimum · 13/09/2024 18:32

Yeah, the maths is strange to me. Three new dates, so circa 270k tickets (though we know the organisers hold some back). Polls on Twitter suggest 8% of those in the ballot received codes. So it's ... weird.

Yeah my DH has got a rugby match tomorrow and I’m feeling quite content I can have a glass of wine tonight and then saunter off to enjoy watching him in the morning without any stress or distraction

I hate to say it but am curiously relieved not to have got a code. Felt like I had to enter the ballot after getting the email but the idea of another Saturday queing for overpriced tickets isn’t that appealing. Sour grapes probably but it’s working for me That will all change if I get one am sure…

I completely relate to this. I actually found it all so bloody stressful. I was so over it that Saturday, hours and hours spent trying to get on to the websites, waiting in queues, constantly being kicked out, being told I’m a bot. It was so draining!

I actually have some work to do tomorrow and juggling that and trying to buy tickets would have been even more stressful.

i have seen them quite a few times, including Knebworth though I am gutted for my DC who really wanted tickets.

OH, well.

Ah ok, mine came through at 13:09 so about right I guess. I'd love to know how many codes have been sent, especially considering not all those with codes will get tickets. Must be hundreds of thousands still.

It did, but it's clear from social media that anyone who got one received it between 1-2pm, and none have appeared after that. As it's now past 6pm, I highly doubt any more are coming. Startlingly few seem to have gone out.

Didn't their initial ballot email say codes were being sent out by 9pm tonight?

Chickydoo · 13/09/2024 18:15

Out of 4 of us in the family...no codes...

Summerdew · 13/09/2024 18:00

No code here either, absolutely gutted but clearly not meant to be. Hope those who have codes get tickets and have an amazing time.

There was a Twitter message from Oasis earlier this afternoon saying all codes have now been sent.

No code for me either :(

Skisearcher · 13/09/2024 17:52

Unlucky in the ballot - can’t quite believe how unlucky Iv been trying to obtain these. Ah well…does anyone know when any resale tickets usually happen for the people who decide they don’t want them or cannot attend any longer?
