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 saw Oasis in 1998 and they were one of the worst bands I’ve ever seen. Liam was just really boring, did nothing on stage expect the typical ‘stance’ and walk. I wouldn’t want to see them again, and I can’t understand the fuss.

Why exactly are you here then? 🤦🏻‍♀️

You can't tell how many people are in front of you in the queue on this one but if you have another device trying to get tickets, you're put in a different queue to actually get tickets and that one tells you how many people are in front of you in that queue.

I'm on two devices since 830am and the same message on both.

I think I'm in the queue for the queue as other posters have said!

I highly doubt I'll get tickets.

It's disgraceful and one of the many expressions of what is incredibly wrong with our society. It's music, art, entertainment and by and large exclusively accessible to people who are very comfortable with money. It gives a terrible message to young people. Many families in our leafy area have taken their 4-9 year old dds to see TS as it was the cultural experience for middle class families with girls this summer and has become a huge status symbol. The girls who weren't taken by their families had to watch form the sidelines as their primary school fiends shared their understandable excitement for the better part of a year. We all know life is not fair but this is so money driven and machiavellian. 😏There are many creative musical and music loving youngsters who couldn't dream of attending these concerts and are excluded from this shared pop culture. It's not the end of the world but it's a shame and the push, rush and insane competition to get the tickets is utterly off putting. I would have liked to see TS as well as Oasis, I earn well but among all other things I cannot justify such an expense. It's all a bit tasteless.

I got the bot thing too and was kicked out. Trying on laptop now but I think chances are zero now.

If you’re in the queue with a number, does that mean there are x no of people
ahead of you in total or for that particular date?

RottenApplesSpoilTheLot · 31/08/2024 09:24

was logged on from 7:30am, watching the countdown - on the stroke of 9am it all crashed. I did manage to get in a queue - but its the queue to get onto the site, not for actual tickets.... trying to get them for DD who is mid air ATM. Think I will give up at 9:30 having done my parental duty to try (I have screenshots 🤣)

For that date.

Quacking4it · 31/08/2024 09:25

my friend got 4 tickets for wembly, went to pay and was kicked out

ZenNudist · 31/08/2024 09:25

We are 21000 and 31000 and 81000 plus in a further wait for queue on a 4th IP address (bound to be 200000 for that when it gets in)

Not used to this trying to get tickets . I remember when you'd find out about the gig in melody maker then be on the phone at 9am!

SaltandPepper22 · 31/08/2024 09:25

I AM IN THE QUEUE - only 139465 people ahead of me 😂😂

RottenApplesSpoilTheLot · 31/08/2024 09:25

how many tickets available and do we know what price yet?

ajandjjmum · 31/08/2024 09:25

hopeishere · 31/08/2024 09:15

Once you're in it says how many are in front. I'm in the Dublin queue.

So is DD - with about 20,000 people ahead of her!

AhBiscuits · 31/08/2024 09:25

The speed the queue is moving, this will take about 2 business days 😄

claracluck1978 · 31/08/2024 09:25

We were at 8400 in the queue for the Friday at Wembley at 9.01
Currently 5244
It's going very very slowly

Never agreed with anything more on here. It's obscene

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 31/08/2024 09:26

Would so rather this was done in less of a scrum. I'm out of circle of doom but seem to be in site queue now

CellophaneFlower · 31/08/2024 09:27

wishihadagoodone · 31/08/2024 09:17

What ever happened to physically queuing for tickets?
We used to do it all the time in the 90's and even the early 00's. You could guarantee you were only selling 2 per person then.

They'd have been camping for weeks for this! I used to sleep out for 1 night for Take That but they'd always be Spanish there with tents that had been there for days!

NellyCortado · 31/08/2024 09:27

Has anyone got past the "please bear with us..." message on Gigs and Tours?

SweetTeaCup · 31/08/2024 09:27

So if there’s 90000 people in front of me in the queue and the venue only holds 40,000 is there any point of me staying in the queue ?

Couperi · 31/08/2024 09:27

Just over 100,000 ahead of me in queue. Was hoping loads would see that number and give up and leave!

JumpstartMondays · 31/08/2024 09:11

How does everyone know how many people in front of them in the queue? Is that once you've logged on through the website? I'm in the queue for the website!

I have the same screen as you, so no way of knowing where I am in the queue

JumpinJellyfish · 31/08/2024 09:27

AhBiscuits · 31/08/2024 09:24

For that date.

Jeez…I’m 113000 in the queue, and Wembley has max capacity of 90,000…so not sure what the point is!

Yes as by the sounds of it 80000 people will be kicked out before they get any!
