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

You can't buy tickets even if you have a code if your email address and linked ticketmaster account is not one of the ballot winners. Ticketmaster comes up with an error message.

Tbf with ticketmaster comes up with a error message when you're trying to buy as well...

The whole thing has been chaos really! The pricing system. The whole denial of knowing about pricing..ticketmaster having issues and chucking people off before they can complete a buy.
Really they should be the ones with priority but don't think has worked like that

Yes I got one…. But not using it…. The whole experience last week was atrocious and the ticket inflation leaves me wanting no part in it

Me, although I'm not sure that I got the year right! 😳 We actually already have tickets for Wembley, but we wanted to go to Manchester with friends, thought I'd go through the process anyway and see what happens...

It’s a change from vat on school fees threads I supppse if nothing else

Oooo can we start a thread about how no one can afford private school anymore because of the cost of Oasis tickets?

RedToothBrush · 09/09/2024 16:06

I'd demand a whole Oasis section but it's actually funnier to have multiple Oasis threads cos they make so many people implode.

I'm pretty sure the codes are linked to the email address.

You can have mine if you want? I don't want it

Nope. Not got it despite being logged on for
most of last Saturday trying.

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?

Yea it was really odd...but I got an email back eventually.

RedToothBrush · 09/09/2024 15:49

Yes definitely!

We haven't got enough Oasis threads yet 😁

Definitely maybe 😂

Nothing for me yet

Not yer for me

RichinVitaminR · 09/09/2024 17:42

🙋🏼‍♀️ I got the email. Registered. We find out by Friday don’t we?

RedToothBrush · 09/09/2024 16:06

CharlotteBog · 09/09/2024 16:03

😂🎸

Fair point. I was just thinking that this will fill up with "I haven't got a code yet".
I suppose we'll just have to roll with it.

Maybe someone should start a thread for 'no I have not received a code yet' messages.
Not having a code at this stage is not really newsworthy (I understand we can write whatever we want on MN).
Receiving a code would be worth mentioning, or voicing disappointment after 9pm on Friday.

Yes definitely!

Huh? I thought entry for the ballot was closed? You had to confirm by last night before midnight.

Entry is closed.

loropianalover · 09/09/2024 15:12

RedToothBrush · 09/09/2024 15:02

Given they dont close the ballot until Friday why will they send out codes before then?

It's supposed to be fair in terms of anyone who applies gets an equal chance. How can they do that if they start saying people are successful before the ballot closes?

It would otherwise give people who replied quickest most chance of winning the ballot!!! Thus defeating much of the point.

Entry for the ballot closed midnight on Sunday. Everyone who could have entered has now been entered, so having a code sooner or later makes no difference. The understanding is (various news sources, though nothing confirmed) is that the ticket sales may be done in waves, so people may receive codes at different times, depending on what waves they are allocated to. Or people may receive their codes at various points during this week for one ticket sale which will open after all the codes given out. The former is how Taylor Swift operated.

Only been 14hrs since the ballot entry deadline – I'd give it a minute!

We have donated all but 2 (saved 2 for ourselves) to a home for adults with special needs/disabilities, hopefully able to donate another 4 tickets to them so that more can go! Fingers crossed

I thought donating tickets wasn't allowed. You'd better check that!
