BTS WORLD TOUR

[Orangecake123]

Anyone else left waiting 1 hour an 32 mins to buy tickets for this concert? My teenage sister reminded me at 11pm last night and I woke up at 5am automatically even having a dream about buying tickets.

Who are BTS?

Who are BTS
Famous kpop band

My dd, though failed miserably last time and bought the day 6 tickets for viagogo. They are so expensive (compared to western arena gigs) I paid less than half the price for my Killers tickets which were much better

They are very high but they know they will sell

£160
£130
£100
£85
£65
£45

My favourite band at the moment is Seafret- £13.75 a ticket!

We had 4 screens open, kept crashing, but finally went through!

I've drawn the short straw and have to go into the concert with them, whilst DH acts as the taxi driver...

I struck lucky and managed to get 4 tickets for dd who is old enough not to need an adult to go with them. I loved the optimism on Twitter of people who actually thought they would have a choice of ticket price & seats and were discussing which block they would apply for.

You lot are lucky, we got none. And they were on resale at stubhub by 0945.... with £45 tickets for £180. Not prepared to pay that much over the face price (though would have happily paid for the £100 ones). Fed up that dd cannot get to see them again. Still on the ticketmaster queue but know it won't go anywhere. Got through on the FA one at 0950...(queued from it opening of course).

I was hoping to get a cheaper ticket, but there were none available.I kept getting "something went wrong". I only needed one ticket as she is old enough to go on her own, but paid £115.65 for it.

I went through instantly on LiveNation which sent me straight through to Ticketmaster to pay, but a friend was stuck in the never ending queue on Ticketmaster until she gave up.

We got 2 decent seats for DD and her mate. They were also lucky enough to go to the o2 concert back in October so she’s super happy. She’s been a fan since 2016 and thought they’d never come here!

We were stuck in a queue for ages (me, DH and my mum all trying to get through) but finally managed to get 3 tickets in not too bad seats (at the top but on the side nearish the stage). So me, DD and her friend will be going. We went to the O2 in October too which was brilliant. DD is very very happy! Wish I'd gone through Live Nation now as I have an account. DH got them on ticketmaster in the end.

So I'm the only one who failed? Feel worse now. Did exactly same as you lot...

I was on the site for over an hour. Tickets went into my basket on the app so I clicked to accept them and they disappeared Me and friend were so desperate to go we've paid £188 for the bloody £45 tickets on viagogo. I hate giving money to scalpers but really didn't wanna miss seeing them.

It kept telling me there'd been an error and I'm so ticked off that I wanna complain to ticketmaster but realistically it's not their fault BTS are so popular and I'm not really the type to lodge a complaint anyway.

Live Nation took me straight through to Ticketmaster to pay, but meanwhile my TM account was still whirring in the background with a queuing in place on another tab.

I honestly think it was just luck of the draw. My mum sat in the same queue on ticketmaster for an hour, dh and i got messages saying connection lost etc etc and had to rejoin queues. Eventually dh got something. I do think it's better when they limit it to a certain amount of tickets per transactions and the artists/management companies can say they can't be resold on stubhub etc. Tim Minchin is doing a new comedy tour and says his tickets can only be resold on twickets which is a site that only resells at face value. I figure either they don't care or they get some kind of kickback. BTS clearly have a management company that are only after the big bucks or they wouldn't sell those ridiculous army bombs for £45 when they cost about £1 to make. Sorry to those who didn't get tickets :(

On the bright side SF9 are coming to UK in May and maybe there won't be the same demand for them... and she's got a pre-order window on theirs...

We'll keep checking for resales on TM/FA too and see if we're lucky.

Dd said there are rumours a 2nd date will be announced tomorrow...

We only wanted one ticket and finally managed to get a Ticketmaster resale at 11am! Some of the connections kept crashing and I thought we had secured a ticket earlier for it to crash at the submit to payment screen. It was all very frustrating and it took a lot of refreshing the screen to grab the resale as soon as it was posted.
I've seen a rumour that something else will be announced soon.

2nd date has been added for the Sunday. Tickets on sale this Friday.

That's good to hear for all the people who didn't get tickets, but I suspect some people will still buy tickets just to sell them on again.

Oh of course but with 90000 seats I'm sure a good amount will get tickets. And hopefully a second date will mean a decrease in the cost of resale tickets.

I have heard a bit about them but don’t know their music. I must be getting old as I still go to see Take That to relive my teenage years...

One of dd's friends messaged her this morning to say she's got her and dd a ticket! Which was a nice surprise.
