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

No code here. Wonder how random selection was.

DrRiverSong · 13/09/2024 17:08

No code here either. I’m almost relieved the decision has been made for me!

MrsChestnut · 13/09/2024 17:02

Boo no code for me either ☹️

Out of a group of 6, 1 of us got a code. I'm still not very hopeful. Determined not to invest so much time into it this time but I know I'll get swept up in the drama of it all.
Really hoping for no dynamic pricing.

Another one who was in the ballot but hasn't had an e-mail. Getting a bit sick of it all now if I'm honest. I'm not sure I'll try again even if more dates get added.

My daughter got one, at 1.09, she is the only person I know out of loads ( including me and dh) that were in the ballot that has one. My other daughter had signed it to her ticket master acct on 2 devices on the day the first tickets went on sale, got to choose her tickets and then was thrown out before she could complete and no invite to the ballot.

It's a bit curious. It definitely seems like an incredibly small % of people received them. I know 16 people who were confirmed in the ballot and none of them got one.

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 Grin That will all change if I get one am sure…

Well it'll be interesting to see how well the sale goes tomorrow...

I think there still will be complaints over people having a ballot but timing out of their 1.5hr slot.

There will also be issues with site traffic despite this I suspect.

And we haven't yet been told if dynamic pricing will be in action.

If there is a problem, then not all tickets may go in the slots. If that's the case, what happens to the left overs.

Will be interesting to see.

It says they "expect" each slot to last "approximately" 1.5 hours... so I'm assuming each queue will be open till they're all gone.

FunkyMonks · 13/09/2024 16:37

Didn't get a code they've released that everyone that was getting one has a code and the rest of us sods luck.
Think I'm done with the whole bollocks I won't be wasting another day of mine trying to get tickets.

If anyone got an email today, the code is right at the bottom of the email.

IWasHittingMyMarks · 13/09/2024 16:08

Boo. Just got home from teaching all day and no code. Disappointing.

Onyoupop · 13/09/2024 16:06

I didn't get one either, gutted!

ChessieFL · 13/09/2024 16:05

Oh well, looks like I’m not one of the lucky few!

Didimum · 13/09/2024 16:00

The latest tweet from on Oasis suggests that all codes have been sent now.

Interestingly there’s a poll on Twitter asking if you were in the ballot and did you get a code and only 8% have said yes, out of thousands of answers.

Picoloangel · 13/09/2024 15:30

No code for me. I’m getting deja vu. Nine hours I was on that bloody website trying to get tickets on that Saturday!

ChessieFL · 13/09/2024 15:15

No code here either yet

Evenstar · 13/09/2024 15:13

No code for me yet, it’s DH’s birthday today it would be great to at least have the chance of a pair of tickets

Yuja · 13/09/2024 15:09

No code for me yet. Am seeing online that they're going out now so probably not getting one :-(

Hales1926 · 13/09/2024 15:06

Hales1926 · 13/09/2024 15:04

Same not seen anyone saying they got a code yet !!!

Also text ? It's meant to be email that's why we had to sign up with email connected to ticketmaster !!

Hales1926 · 13/09/2024 15:04

Same not seen anyone saying they got a code yet !!!

Lovewine1975 · 13/09/2024 14:42

Still no code, just my luck Friday 13th!

CharlotteBog · 13/09/2024 14:34

mucky123 · 13/09/2024 14:00

No code yet. Not sure whether to give up on the constant refreshing.

Just refresh again after 9pm this evening.

GeordieRacer · 13/09/2024 14:33

Meh, no code yet. Not giving up all hope yet until either 9pm or they declare all codes have now been issued!
