How the fuck is this going to happen (oasis)

pollypocet · 29/08/2024 21:46

Myself and dh would love to go next year. As would most of the country I'm guessing ha ! The last concert I went to was Britney when I was 10 so I'm new to ticketmaster. Just reading through some threads on Reddit and I'm seriously thinking how the fuck are we even going to be in with a chance of getting tickets with the lengths some people go to?! Multiple devices, different WiFi connections, different sites etc etc
Why can't it just be simple ?? I know it's probably not going to happen for us but it does make me sad, Oasis wasn't my era, I was a child in the 90's but I do love their music and would love to see them live !

I got the video of them doing a live concert during their definitely maybe phase. It was circa 1997.

They were the dullest live performers ever- honestly you'd be best sticking the music on spotify and then watching a photo for ninety minutes, it will be just as animated and you'll save $$$.

Agree! I went to see them in 1997 play the GMex in Manchester. Travis was supporting them and were really good. Preferred them to Oasis who were quite dull.

Blur were better 😉

And Pulp were better than Blur 😀

Don't refresh as the system will think you are a bot and block you.

My DH is convinced the browser has something to do with it when trying to get tickets. He swears that using safari or edge is quicker. Not sure if it's actually true but when we have been buying tickets in the last couple of years when the Google browser has wait time of 10 mins plus, safari went straight through to the ticket selection.

Again, not sure if there is any truth to it but may be worth a try!

I have got my Glastonbury tickets using edge a few times …Coincidence? Maybe..but it’s worked for me

Bellebelleagain · 29/08/2024 22:28

Make sure that your ticketmaster log in details are working in advance/you’ve got an account/know your password etc and log in an hour before they go on sale. Refresh bang on 9am, you’ll get in the waiting room and then just wait… We go to quite a lot of concerts and just being organised and on early tends to work, we got Taylor Swift tickets without any issues.

With Taylor Swift they picked up if you were logged in on more than one device and kicked you out, not sure if they’ll be as strict with this one.

The typical Oasis crowd put me off going to see them. I remember last time they played Edinburgh about 16 years ago and the ‘fans’ trashed the city centre. Friends who went to see Liam when he toured (last year I think) said that the crowd were really aggressive and they didn’t enjoy it at all.

At work my IT department always ask me to try something in Edge if it’s not working in another browser to check it’s really broken so maybe there’s something in that!

I think they will add even more dates on as the ones already advertised, including the dates added today, sell out. Can you still get on the fans ballot or is it now closed? Really you need both of you on different devices at the same time to stand the best chance of getting tickets.

shellyleppard · 29/08/2024 21:59

@Flexibubble shame though cos it will be out of the price range for most people

So? It's just a music concert. Not exactly important stuff that should be accessible to all?

They could charge £800 a ticket if they liked.

I think they will add more dates after the first sale as well…..like they did with take that

feellikeanalien · 29/08/2024 22:33

Don't worry OP they'll probably fall out before the concerts and cancel them anyway. I read an article about them the other day and it was basically just them slagging each other off and blaming the women in their lives for all their troubles. Apparently their kids all fall out with each other all the time too.

Woofwoofwoofgoesthewolfhound · 29/08/2024 22:33

Having seen Liam recently on the Definitely Maybe tour I honestly won't be bothering. His performance was pretty underwhelming but the crowd was fucking awful. Thousands upon thousands of pissed up balding middle age men in their too-tight Friday night shirts and bucket hats chanting and hurling pints of piss at each other. The overall atmosphere was unpleasantly aggressive.

Total contrast to Blur and Suede who we've also seen recently and who were simply joyful.

Minniemouse85 · 29/08/2024 22:34

I feel the same op, have applied but not holding out much hope at all. I was born 1985 so just a bit young to be going gigs in the 90s and I don’t really like the albums after “be here now” so I’ve never seen them. One date falls on dh birthday so would absolutely love that! But pretty much resigned to not being lucky enough.

Al991 · 29/08/2024 22:34

If there’s a presale option do that. Just speaking from TS experience.

SheilaFentiman · 29/08/2024 22:13

I think the cheapest seats are less than the standing (still £70 or summat though!)

The cheapest tickets are all the seated ones, ds got seated for Taylor Swift at Murrayfield, he said the view was better than standing.

@Flexibubble So there is no fight for the waiting room? I can just go onto the app aslong as it is before 9am and then I'll be redirected into the queue once the tickets go live ?

I have a lot of experience buying big event tickets mainly top sporting events such as football World Cup finals, Euro finals etc.

Some of the previous posters have given decent advice. There is always an element of luck so what you need to do is to increase your chances.

Use multiple devices. Get every phone, tablet and laptop in your house ready. Split between 5G and WiFi. Use as many different browsers on the same device at the same time as you can. For big events I’ll have at least 3 laptops and 2/3 mobiles each with at least 4 browsers open meaning 20+ individual sessions live.

The results are inconsistent and unpredictable so anyone claiming a specific device and browser is best are lying as it varies from event to event.

Log on from about 8.30am as it is not unknown for them to start queues early.

Once you reach a waiting room do not refresh the browser under any circumstances as it will chuck you out.

Have multiple payment cards ready as the banks fraud systems can kick in and block payments and you may not have time to resolve before the tickets are released back to the website. I had this happen for the recent England v Spain Euro final in Berlin and had I not had a second card with me I’d have lost the tickets.

Being prepared makes a huge difference. In the football world it’s invariably the same people who get the big match tickets all the time because they all employ similar tactics.

Finally if you do gain access and the tickets you want have sold out I’d advise buying anything that is available as you should be able to trade them for what you want before next Summer.

Good luck!

brunettemic · 29/08/2024 22:38

Unless you go to the first or second gig chances are they’ll have fallen out can cancel the tour anyway.

lazzapazza · 29/08/2024 22:39

They will not have got better with 15 years of relative inactivity. Plus it will probably be full of coked up bell ends watching it through their phone or having fights.

intergalacticplanetary · 29/08/2024 22:39

Tickets are total potluck when they are in high demand. You can have a good place in the queue and then the page bloody crashes. Just log on early and hope for the best. I'm Blur through and through so I won't be in the queue! Good luck to ya though ☺️

jay55 · 29/08/2024 22:39

I remember getting tickets for Maine Road, group of us calling and calling from different phones. We got tickets, and sold on the spares for loads.

Travis were a cracking live band, Fran Healy was a proper frontman and the guitar was always much heavier live especially with songs from good feeling

I want to.go too..love their music but they are arrogant . The other day I happened to think about their name snd the arrogance of it- never dawned on me before. Accommodation prices have gone through the roof- probably won't be able to go-😥 Stevie Wonder and Oasis were the two I defo wanted to see. Srevie was great. Oh well.

What did you mean about the arrogance of their name?!
