@loverofpants I didn't think you could use the code again? I've also only bought two tickets today. Have you seen otherwise?

loverofpants · 10/07/2023 16:02

@ricekrispi yes I've seen several people today buy 2 for Edinburgh and 2 for london. When you go in again, it says your allocation is 2 or whatever you have left.

ricekrispi · 10/07/2023 16:16

@loverofpants No way! Gosh, I'll try again for better seats tomorrow. And: ARE YOU SURE??

Can I ask what the prices were like? I'm hoping for Liverpool tomorrow!

Rumplstitskin82 · 10/07/2023 16:44

Got 4 for Wembley although top tier side view, £110 each including booking fees. So happy we are going though. Don't forget to book parking now if you need it!

I might try and get 3 standing for the last night of the tour if I get access through the non presale as a bonus surprise for my daughter who will be end of exams and is the biggest swiftie on the planet, but we will leave dad at home for £170 per ticket! He's coming with us for the first date.

Youarenotseriouspeople · 10/07/2023 17:21

I got four for Edinburgh on the Sunday!
£160 each lower seated. So many options yo choose from though it was a bit stressy and confusing. Taking my two DDs and my niece - they are all beside themselves ❤️
Just need to formulate a plan to get back to Yorkshire on the Monday morning 😬

I’ve also got 4 tickets to Edinburgh after no success with London. Feel slightly foolish but just couldn’t risk holding out for London after failing X2
DD nearly fainted

OutDamnedSpot · 10/07/2023 17:40

I think they changed the rule on codes part way through the day.

I got two for Friday at Edinburgh then tried again for two more for Saturday because Friday will be difficult for us. The code worked but the seats weren’t as good so I released them. When I tried again for Sunday tickets, the code wouldn’t work.

I’m DELIGHTED to have tickets for Friday, but I do wish they’d released more info about prices / seating plans / packages / whether you could split your code across before the sale.

ricekrispi · 10/07/2023 17:42

@OutDamnedSpot I don't know why they don't release more information in advance, it would allow us to make informed decisions. Also, every single loophole/permutation should have been discussed at the planning stage of this, not after fans give things a go.

Stopandlook · 10/07/2023 17:52

I was told the codes were good for 4 tickets across any venues so might be worth trying again in case there was a delay in resetting them?

Stopandlook · 10/07/2023 17:53

The presale help email address have responded to me really quickly when I’ve asked them things x

OutDamnedSpot · 10/07/2023 18:01

I think I’m just going to be grateful I managed to get any at all and work on how to make Friday work for me

MattySwiftlysings · 10/07/2023 18:11

Accessibility tickets via the Wembley phone today was a shambles 😡🥺

4 hour hold to then be CUT OFF!! Phone on charge the WHOLE time (meaning I had to wait in that one room) to ensure signal stayed strong and and battery didn’t drain.

Got through an hour and another 81 attempts later, to be to on hold again, to be told Wembley had closed for the night.

A disgrace.

I’m a die-hard Swifite, was present at The1975 O2 gig which made me fall in love with her even more but this experience has deterred me now, especially knowing people have managed to get tickets for more than one show. Very disappointing.

Doteycat · 10/07/2023 19:56

So can u split it in 2 and 2?
But 4 in total?
I need 4 so all the same to me. Either we all go or no one goes but is it just one code for 4 tickets regardless?

Thischarmlessgirl · 10/07/2023 20:02

5 hours of trying for accessibility tickets on two phone lines. Nothing 😞

Yes - the presale team told me the code is valid across the whole presale and once you have 4 tickets it will no longer work

Stopandlook · 10/07/2023 21:03

Also - a friend’s daughter bought the album very recently and managed to get a code that worked on both AXS and Ticketmaster. I have no idea how she did this?? But managed to get 2 x London tickets at 2.30 via AXS

ContractQuestion · 10/07/2023 21:10

@MattySwiftlysings same here. I repeat dialed non stop all day then was on hold an hour and then it cut off.

I dont physically know if I can manage to do this another day (never mind work etc)

I'm truly shocked how inaccessible the accessible tickets has been.

I dont know what to do.

FiftyNotNifty · 10/07/2023 21:14

I'm so sorry to hear about the accessible tickets,that's shit!

I managed to get the 3 I wanted for Edinburgh, delighted! It was all a bit stressy at the choose your seats bit though, I didn't know whether to take the first ones offered even though they weren't the ones I wanted. Gambled and searched again, got slightly better and pressed buy in a pure panic!

MattySwiftlysings · 10/07/2023 21:16

@ContractQuestion
It’s demoralising isn’t it? Actually said to DH just now it was so utterly soul destroying that I think a few nights away with the money would be better value ☹️
Never did I imagine I would say that.

I exchanged so many emails with Wembley staff 2 weeks ago as this is my first experience, just to clarify everything was OK….fair to say I’m sure that was also my last attempt too.

WelshNerd · 10/07/2023 22:00

So, I don't know if I'm barking completely up the wrong tree here but if someone has bought two tickets with a midnight code today. Can someone else use it to get two tickets for Cardiff tomorrow? Will people be sharing them or will it just be "wasted" for people who don't need 4?
