Does anyone know how to get the code to access the foo fighters presale tomorrow morning? Thank you 🤞

Sorry to keep bugging you @ThreeB - but where did you enter the code? I have entered it on Gigsandtours but it doesn't let me select any tickets.

I gave up with G&T and went via ticket master. If you go to the main page and hit Foo Fighters, it brings up a page that looks like the first pic. Click unlock next to the ticket category you want and add the Fp code from your email. You should now get a screen that tells you the tickets are unlocked (second pic)

General sale Friday. I got tickets via code as we had tickets for 2022 cancelled show.
waited 20 mins and got tickets

BlueClues · 28/06/2023 11:29

I got two tickets for Manchester on the 15th! Wasn’t too bad, didn’t wait long.

NeedWineNow · 28/06/2023 11:29

I've just only gone into Ticketmaster again and could get two seated for the Thursday and also the Saturday in London. Bet of I hadn't logged on early and had left it until now I wouldn't have got anything!

BlueClues · 28/06/2023 11:31

I did get kicked out of the queue about 5 times and once I got to the front and picked my tickets I had to re-enter my card details 3 times. I got the tickets about 10.15

bunnypenny · 28/06/2023 11:31

joined the gigs and tours queue at 855am and by 910am I had 5 standing tickets for 22 June in London and my sister had 3 standing tickets for 20 June in London! Luck of the draw I guess.

TheReverendBeeb · 28/06/2023 11:32

No luck with that - still no disabled tickets on ticketmaster.

Does anyone have another code for Gigsandtours which they would be willing to share?

I've DM'ed you

HalloumiFries · 28/06/2023 11:42

OMG - I just tried again and managed to get tickets! Absolutely delighted!

First saw them at T in the Park in 1996 and then again a few years ago with Dave on his throne after breaking his leg. I'm beyond happy right now.

Hoolihan · 28/06/2023 11:46

I've just got two standing tickets for 20th. Bloody Glasto clash but will cross that bridge! Woooohooooooo so excited!!

TheReverendBeeb · 28/06/2023 11:50

Thanks for that @Mooserp but that's the code I was trying. Seems to work for normal tickets but not accessible ones unless I am completely clueless.

Looks like I will have to wait until Friday and they'll probably be all gone by then 😥

SheldontheWonderSchlong · 28/06/2023 12:22

@TheReverendBeeb When I looked Ticketmaster said accessible tickets were only through gigs and tours site. There were none left by time I got let in this morning.
The info about accessible tickets is appalling though and it seems very unclear how you get a carer ticket.

Frasecam · 28/06/2023 12:32

Seated tickets still available for Glasgow 🙂

TheReverendBeeb · 28/06/2023 12:57

Thanks @SheldontheWonderSchlong - feel a bit stupid for getting my hopes up (as well my daughter's hopes up actually). It's so frustrating because I spent the last few days weighing up whether I could actually realistically manage it all (we're about 5 hours from London) and wouldn't be able to drive myself but need mobility scooter which is not easy on public transport and then have to factor in accommodation etc etc. It then makes me think it's just too much effort. Then another part of me thinks - yes but you have to just think sod it and go for it.

Then it seems impossible to get a ticket anyway and all that emotional angst was for nothing.

Enjoying the new album and seeing them at Glastonbury. Will probably be as close as I ever get in all honesty.

Good luck and hope you are successful in getting some tickets.

Don’t give up, friday will have a bigger allocation. Twickets is great. You can register for notifications when a ticket pings up and if your quick you can get it.
I’ve managed to get more impossible tickets than this that way. Especially when they’ve pinged at night.

unless They are at glastonbury on the Friday I expect that date to have been kept for an extra london night. It’s odd there’s that gap and I wouldn’t expect the set and kit to be moved etc. but what do I know about tour logistics?!

TheReverendBeeb · 28/06/2023 13:49

Thanks @VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji - love your username. I've had a major drop in mood since all this and am feeling quite tearful and sorry for myself which is a bit embarrassing and unlike me (because generally I manage to remain quite optimistic about life with my disability).

I've got another confession to make... I'm just another middle-aged woman who dreamed of seeing Dave in the flesh, and now I'm sad 😂

justasoul · 28/06/2023 13:53

Twickets is brilliant, I got tickets from there last year when I failed to get tickets to Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert via the regular channels - and I’ve sold plenty too.

Aw don't give up! As pp have said, there's always Twickets, I bet you'll manage to get tickets on there. Also, they might decide to play some festivals. I'm hoping they do Reading, it's always much easier to get day tickets for that.

It is disheartening, it really is. I know what you mean. 1st world problems and all that. But it’s really disappointing when your so excited, especially when you want to share it with family.

your out this round but there’s more to come.


have you registered on Twickets yet??!

plenty do appear as people book for friends etc or find they can’t make the date. It’s a long way away and they’ve not given much notice for fans to organise themselves with friends and dates etc.

The only thing I'll ever ask of you, You've got to promise not to stop

Chocolateship · 28/06/2023 15:35

@TheReverendBeeb I'd phone or try and contact gigs and tours and see what the deal is, they're usually really good with customer service and I'm sure they'd be happy to help.

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 28/06/2023 15:47

If it makes you feel any better @TheReverendBeeb I had a proper stomping shit fit over not getting tickets. I’d had it all planned out, it was going to be amazing.

I was In a foul mood for a good day or so.

randomly came across a radio 4 program about bots and how they are taking over the ticket process (that made me feel a bit better). And then after all that managed to get tickets from Twickets about a week before.

its an odd disappointment isn’t it.

ScoobyDoNot · 28/06/2023 15:51

Somehow I managed to get 2 pitch tickets for the 15/07 in Manchester.
I was out earlier so didn't get chance to log in first thing & so had resigned myself to the fact we wouldn't be going.
I spotted a FB post saying they'd added extra dates, logged into G&T and 3 mins later had my confirmation email! Even managed to book a premier inn at the same time!
A complete fluke!!!!

We were at Wembley last September for the TH tribute. It's gonna be different without him but looking forward to seeing them again (for the 5th time 😁)

TheReverendBeeb · 28/06/2023 16:05

Yes it is a bit odd @VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji. As I said before, usually I am a fairly optimistic person but sometimes, like today, being limited by a disability really smacks you around the head and says "no you can't have what everyone else is having" and it sucks. My daughter even phoned from college saying she'd got onto Ticketmaster and could get tickets - but they were just normal tickets so aaarrgh!

Thanks to everyone who suggested Twickets - I am registered with them but don't know how often wheelchair tickets come up.

Younger DD is now waiting for Taylor Swift tickets - don't think my blood pressure can take any more 😂

Trying81 · 28/06/2023 16:11

Still manchester presale tickets up for 15th - just got two
