Oasis tickets

[Helplessandheartbroke]

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

keep On queuing

Did they need 4? Or is everybody just booking 4 and planning to sell on what they don’t need?

I got tickets for the Wednesday Heaton Park one-assumed it would be less popular than the weekend ones and waited 1hour 40 in the queue!

Yes, he needed 4.

My friend was queuing from 8.15 …..she eventually got tickets at 1015

I’ve just looked out of interest and I’m 222 thousand in the queue and it still says tickets still available.

Got to the end of queue but it won't let us choose tickets

I only wanted 2 and was only planning on buying 2!

For which date please?

Same here. Got from 20,000 to the ticket page and no tickets left to be able to purchase for Cardiff Saturday.

My sister is in the queue and has been for over an hour, what I don't get is that usually on such sites you have a limited time to purchase the tickets you've selected, usually less than 20 mins. So theoretically no matter how many are ahead of you they should only have a limited amount of time to purchase. Obviously they won't all be doing it at once but it does seem to be moving slower than expected with this considered.

Friday 19th

Are electronic tickets an advance anyway? I don't see any benefit whatsoever over a physical, paper ticket. Which can only be owned by one person at a time. It's the same now with sporting events, you need a bloody mobe, a folder.... Why? Cui bono?

We got through at about 9am but it wasnt letting us have tickets then either. It's probably been sold out for hours.

😭

Got to no 1 for Dublin sales tickets and it kicked me out! Was trying to get them for sons 21st

If you get to front will you only be able to buy tickets for date your selected or will you have option to change date please?

Got to the front of the queue twice and it kicked me off twice.

So after posting that we had not been successful (just kept getting sorry something went wrong for every option) I went off to do other stuff. DH then clicked refresh, got kicked off, went back in and was still on the select tickets page and managed to get 4 standing for the Sat night in Edinburgh. So he is now gloating that if it wasn't for him being a stubborn so and so we wouldn't have tickets and I am left scratching my head as to the whole process.

This is ridiculous. What a load of mugs we all are!

Totally agree.

I actually think U2s fan club system has merit

You pay an annual fee but get exclusive merch which is of a reasonable value for that. You then get priority booking. There's two groups - those who have been in the fan club for years and those who are new joins.

The old group gets first go. But there's always tickets available for the second group and after a few years you graduate to the old group. This allows younger people to get in on the act.

As long as you maintain membership you stay in the group.

It really makes it harder for the tours. Plus the fan club encourages people to help others for face value because they are fans.

I did use to resent it a little but it worked well for fans against touts. And I think now, when it's been commercialised it's almost essential. It sucks but I don't think there's a reasonable way around it.

It's not worth it for the tours to be signed up for the fan clubs without a guaranteed tour. If there's several years between tours it ruins their profit. But the fans do get something out of it and unique access to other stuff.

Both U2 and Springsteens fan network is great for getting tickets if you don't get them first time around. People will sell for face value. The catch is usually you have to meet someone on the day at the venue. There are worse things.

Only the date you've clicked on.

It is all relative and what people decide to spend their money on is up to them. I think it is great for Oasis fans and if I was one (I am not) I am sure I would happily spend all my disposable income, for the next few months, on getting a ticket.
I am a huge fan of a certain music star and I have ended up spending 4/5 times the amount of the original cost of a ticket to get to see them in concert and it was worth every penny.
I love the fact there is some good news in these not so great times.
There was a poster on here a few days ago saying they couldn't live on their salary of £125K. I earn a quarter of that salary and I have a good standard of living and consider myself fortunate. As I say it is all relative and subjective.

I know it's each to their own but am I alone in not wanting to see these misogynists? Are women actually applying for tickets?

It was easier to get tickets to see U2 in vegas last year 😂
