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

Has anyone got a code yet? not sure when they will start appearing (I know Friday is latest date).

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

Why do you need another 4 when you have 6 already? It's no wonder so many people are missing out.

Mentioning morals given the price of the tickets and the contempt with which Oasis seem to have for their fans, is a bit rich!

I can’t believe anyone would even pay a fiver to go see those 2 knobheads…

ExtraOnions · 09/09/2024 12:27

It’s like some sort of mass hysteria Fomo .. one of them can’t sing anymore (not that he could sing much in the first place), the other is “dialling it in” to pay for his divorce.

I saw them in 96 .. I shall stay with that memory.

The moral thing to do would be to leave the ballot places for those it is intended for - those who did not get tickets.

Your good luck is misplaced IMO.

Moral thing?!

The number of people who haven't remotely done the moral thing when it's come to Oasis tickets makes me laugh.

I have much less issue with fans going to multiple dates - precisely because they are fans - than people trying to fleece fans by selling at inflated prices.

Target them before the actual fans willing to step thousands.

We got 6 tickets on the Saturday and both got the ballot email too so hopefully get another 4! Good luck everyone!

I'm sure the original statement said sales would be staggered this time, so I'm wondering whether the emails being 'by Friday 13th' means some people might get them sooner and have an earlier sale date if that makes sense?

There is no 'main' sale this time though, it's only for people that get a code from the ballot.

And it's still based on first come first served too so gotta make sure we pick our email up if selected straight away .X

IWasHittingMyMarks · 08/09/2024 17:00

My confirmation came about 4 hours after we registered via the site.

I'm just hoping they don't do surge pricing again so I can afford to buy 2 tix for my boys. That's it. That's all I want.

Didimum · 08/09/2024 16:07

I’m not sure I feel much sympathy for people complaining about ‘queuing’. You sat there with your laptop open, which is not much of a hardship. I queued on my phone and just got on with my day and just let it run while I went out. I don’t think any ‘inconvenience’ of virtual queuing mean people should be compensated with anything special.

People queuing in person for big events years ago would camp on the streets for hours for tickets.

twilightermummy · 08/09/2024 14:44

That's good to know. Ridiculous that we're not even at the stage where were guaranteed tickets yet haha.

I don’t even care for Oasis in a major way, but can’t help but feel need to be part of the zeitgeist 🤣

I got the email from Oasismynet but the registration involves accepting marketing emails AND marketing texts which may charge you (as stated on the tick box)

There is no option to proceed without accepting both!

Much as I'd like to go, I'm not being forced into accepting marketing junk and being charged for texts (at an unknown rate) and it's frankly unacceptable.

I wonder how much more pension pot money the Gallaghers are getting by this latest method of ticket purchasing.

I'm done with it!

so…they want to charge you when they send you a message? What fresh madness is this?

btw I’m not in this game but I hope those who missed out get a chance. It sounds like it’s been a nightmare and to be chucked out of a long queue is awful.

Rhayader · 08/09/2024 15:03

Just got my “confirmation” email 7-8 hours after I submitted my entry.

DoYouReally · 08/09/2024 15:03

I got one but I'm in Ireland so it's pretty pointless. The tickets are expensive enough without flights & hotels as well.

Tbh, the whole pricing issue has been such a piss take that it's put me off it.

Filltheglass · 08/09/2024 15:01

I got the email at 02:50 this morning, didn't see it till half 9, entered the form, just checked my email now and i got a confirmation sent at 14:10, so just over 4 hours to get confirmation!

I've still not received a confirmation email,

  • 4 hours since I filled out the form 😞

Took 5hrs for someone here

Itisjustmyopinion · 08/09/2024 14:28

You would think it would have been easier just to send codes out to the people who registered but didn’t get a code for the pre sale. “They” - whoever that is (Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Oasis 🤷‍♀️) - already had everyone’s details
