Oasis tickets

So I didn't make the ballot so missed out on the pre sale and I'm angered that viagogo have purchased a load of pre sale tickets and are selling them for 600 quid each! It's a dream to see oasis in Manchester (my home town) and its looking very unlikely unless some miracle happens in the queue for general sale tomorrow... just ranting but please keep your fingers crossed for me

I will want two, one for me and one for DH but thinking about buying 4 and finding another couple to go with us or maybe giving to my parents as an Xmas present

why buy extra tickets when you don’t even know people who want them? You could leave them for others patiently waiting in the queue.

Yuja · 31/08/2024 09:38

Think I'm about to give up, can't even get in a queue still after nearly 40 minutes.

Finally got through to Dublin tickets. €490
EACH. Eh no thank you.

Where are they?? In their dressing rooms???? They'd want to be for that price 😂

Still in the queue for the queue! Blue line is moving though albeit very slowly.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 31/08/2024 09:40

No movement in the queue at all for me. Giving up.

I was number 26,000 in the queue for Dublin and by the time I got in it was sold out.

It moved pretty slowly until around 8000 to go, then started moving very quickly, so that was probably the point where lots of people left due to no tickets left (or very expensive tickets).

I'm still miles behind that - they're probably sold out but it's moving terribly slowly if it is sold out. Surely they should just kick everyone off if the gigs are sold out???

This takes the piss doesn't it?! I knew this would happen. Same happened with Taylor Swift tickets. I don't understand why Oasis themselves, and their management, don't take steps to stop this shit. (Same with Taylor Swift and other BIG acts that this happens with...)

I am sick of fans being ripped off to the nth degree. Making some people pay multiple 100s - and even 1000s of pounds for a CONCERT TICKET. Fucking disgusting.

Why are these companies like Ticketmaster and Viagogo allowed to buy 1000s of tickets and charge 10 times the original price?! It should be outlawed. It was NEVER a thing when my DC were children/teens (noughties and early 2010s.) I am soooooooo glad to be missing this shit!

It's all very odd and suspicious IMO. I do wonder if they are all in it together...........

Why are the artists allowing this to happen to their fans?????? 🤔 It's their work and it's their concerts. Why the fuck are they not stopping it?

And I am NOT going to buy it that they can't control what their management does.

Don't know if this was answered but....TM and their other company Live Nation have a virtual monopoly. They control access to venues, take care of the business. Imagine privatisation on a grand scale. To play, the artists often need to go thro Ticketmaster. Dynamic pricing? Artist has to say yes to that. Some European countries don't allow resale at higher than face value. Easiest way is for everyone to say no. Keep your VIP passes and your £150 tickets. Stay at home. But we (or you) don't. I stopped doing it years ago as prices and add ons rose out of all proportion. Artists may say huff and puff but the reality is they are all in the same game. But the artists could say NO to secondary ticketing, dynamic pricing etc.

CautiousLurker · 31/08/2024 09:40

went to site at 8am and could see everything, was in the queue, then at 840 go a message to say needed to be signed in… could I sign in? Nope. At 8.55 got kicked out of queue. Taken me 20mins but now logged in… but 143637 in the queue… there’s no hope is there?

Yuja · 31/08/2024 09:40

I'm in a queue with 151400 people ahead of me haha hopes are low

YellowphantGrey · 31/08/2024 09:41

RossGellersCat · 31/08/2024 09:37

DH got into the queue for Cardiff night one three minutes after you and he's in position 112,000 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

18,000 now. Got a feeling won't get any as all the cheap ones will have gone!

CaveMum · 31/08/2024 09:41

Well I finally got into the Wembley queue with 80,000 people in front of me about 20 mins ago. Now there’s “only” 76,500 in front of me. Back of the fag packet sums tell me that means I should get to the front of the queue around 6pm tonight 😤😫

CellophaneFlower · 31/08/2024 09:22

That's obviously what the PP meant, not me!

Got you! Sorry, I thought you were the person who had said Half a Life Away and thought it was an Oasis song!

RedToothBrush · 31/08/2024 09:44

I am here to be a voice of hope.

I've done the whole thing before.

Last year I was going for Eurovision tickets. There were 90000 tickets in total for all 9 shows combined. I was something daft like 60000th in the queue for one show (10000 tickets per show) so I thought no chance. But stuck with it. It took three hours but I did get the tickets.

Remember: lots of people will be hedging bets and have teamed up with friends and family. They will have multiple tabs for different nights open and have 2 or 3 (or even more) friends trying for one single date. They can only get 4 tickets per household.

So when someone gets to the front of the queue the others will drop out. Others will just be going for seats and if they have sold out they took will drop out. Others will be having technical issues too and will drop out. And then there will be plenty of quitters who will give up because they don't have patience and they will drop out.

If you stick with it, you have a decent chance of getting tickets. I did this for Oasis for many years too, and my advice is to stick with it to the bitter end and to keep trying until there is an OFFICIAL message that there are no tickets left.

For Knebworth I was online early and crashed out numerous times. There were 250,000 tickets available. I got 2 for each night at 4pm because I stuck it out. I think it sold out not long after that but I still got them.

My point being if you want them you may have a long day in front of the computer but the numbers suggest if you persevere you will get them. You just have to stick with it and not be a quitter.

Personally I think they've done it really badly. I think given the ballot they should have done several timed groups rather than a single presale which meant it was much easier to get tickets and then gone on general sale. It would be more organised and save a lot of stress and hassle.

Good luck and keep with it though. The determined will get there eventually.

Rubyandscarlett · 31/08/2024 09:45

I love Oasis but cannot be arsed to join this circus.
Good luck everyone

Sounds like the same as me, and I'm in the queue for the website so not even in the queue for tickets yet 😭

You would think!

I've kept the page open and am still searching occasionally on the off chance, but nothing.

Angelou79 · 31/08/2024 09:46

Did the ballot, no luck, took me 45 minutes to sign in to ticket master, got in at 8.15, then was in a queue for waiting room till 9.15 when I gave up. My friend did similar as got into waiting room was over 60,000 in queue, 4 tickets per person means never going to get one.
Then website crashed. We went to knebworth & you just bought them over phone much easier!

Hellskitchen24 · 31/08/2024 09:47

Been queuing to get in to the Ticketmaster website for 45 minutes and the line has barely moved. Going to give up I think. What a farce. Seen both Liam and Noel separately but never together. Gutted.

I'm not willing to spend all day trying. 16000 and 26000 right now for Heaton Park. This is a joke. Must be sold out surely.

ureterr1blemuriel · 31/08/2024 09:48

I was in the queue for the queue for about 1 1/4 hours - now through and over 200,000 in the real queue 😂

Twikets nearer the time for me I think!

Oldfatandfrumpy · 31/08/2024 09:49

Oasis and their management are trying to stop it, by letting fans know they can only buy tickets from Ticketmaster and Twickets, at face value, and that any resold tickets may be cancelled. Not much else they can do.

Actually cancelling the tickets would be a good start. It always gets threatened but never done

CaveMum · 31/08/2024 09:49

I will keep my laptop open while I’m in the house, but I need to take DS swimming at 12.30 so that’s my official cut off point!

It'll be quicker than that. The speed the numbers go down by gets quicker the closer you get to the front. Loads of people quit because they think they have no hope.

I think you it's likely to be sooner than 6pm but probably after lunch. Maybe 1pm if you are lucky.

If you want them stick with it. I am confident you will get them.

I'd personally log back in after that if you can - as long as they haven't officially declared it sold out, it's worth trying later when others have given up in frustration.

the80sweregreat · 31/08/2024 09:51

I really hope the true fans get somewhere today. Good luck everyone.
