Securing tickets on ticketmaster

53 replies

Pleasestopthebunfight · 26/11/2024 08:23

Hello!
So I am useless at this type of thing but would like to try and buy Lana tickets for my daughter.
They go on sale at 10am on Friday.
Please can I have any tips for success?!
Does a queue start to form before 10am if I log in? If so what kind of time from?

Anyone with experience who can guide me would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Click on the link beforehand and there will likely be a countdown. Click 'buy tickets' as soon as it appears and you'll be put in the queue. Nobody can join the queue before the time stated.

Watch it like a hawk, don't refresh, don't try and do it on more than one device. You could be in the queue for a while - last time I did it I was in the queue for 20 minutes but still got tickets.

Be ready and know roughly where you'd prefer to be and what your budget is.

Once you get let in, be quick as seats can disappear as you are looking at them. You usually have about 10 minutes to complete the transaction.

This has been my experience and I've managed to get tickets for 5 out of the last 6 times I tried.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! I will do that and hope for the best. I think she will want standing tickets so that might make it easier.
Fingers crossed - thanks for your help.

Thank you @OatFlatWhiteForMePlease.

I’ve registered but it’s a ballot for the pre sale codes! Fingers crossed!

How old is your DD? Check the venue - some places restrict the age of standing tickets to over 14 or over 16. Also under 18s may need to be with an over 18. May not affect you but lots of people don’t realise this.

There is usually a "waiting room" you can join iirc 15 min before the sale starts. You automatically transfer to the queue the moment the tickets go on sale

cordialzempy · 26/11/2024 13:06

There's definitely room in her dates for extra nights to be added, even allowing for her to do glasto as well, so I'd expect maybe 4th July at Wembley to be added, plus a few extras in the other locations.
(Though Noah Kahan is playing Hyde park on 4/7 and he has brought LDR on as a special guest before, so she might do that.)
Make sure you're signed up for updates so you get notified of extra dates if you're not lucky tomorrow.
Sign up for the presale ballot on a few other email addresses.
On sale day I always have windows open on a couple of devices signed into different Ticketmaster accounts, plus my phone not on WiFi, just in case of issues with that. When you get into the queue, Ticketmaster will give you a number (AXS doesn't). Concentrate on the window with the lowest number.
I'm so tempted to try for tickets, but we already have dua lipa, oasis and Olivia Rodrigo in the summer, at some point we must draw a line!!!

cordialzempy · 26/11/2024 13:28

Ooh, are you on O2? They have a presale tomorrow too. If you are, download the Priority app, and click through from there

Pleasestopthebunfight · 26/11/2024 21:30

Thanks all!

Sadly not on o2 so can't get tickets that way. DD is 21 but thank you @ChessieFL as that's a very good point and I'm sure it trips people up.

We've registered on her website for the pre sale ballot from a few e-mail addresses but nothing has come in yet.

Hopefully we will get lucky on Friday. @cordialzempy that's a pretty impressive line up of concerts you have there!

Did you have any luck, OP?

WinterIsNearlyHere · 27/11/2024 15:22

Hope you got your code OP and managed to get tickets this morning.
I think these days, for major events, it's impossible to get tickets in general sale. I feel that most tickets are sold in presale and very few left for general sale.
I also think she'll likely add another date, for Wembley at least.

Pleasestopthebunfight · 27/11/2024 18:40

@Pumpkittenspice @WinterIsNearlyHere sadly we didn't get sent a code so I will have to just give it a go on Friday, but I don't hold out much hope to be honest as I saw some reports of today being a nightmare, and dynamic pricing so some crazy costs.

I'll definitely still try but it seems like it will take a miracle!

Thanks for checking in 😊

Pleasestopthebunfight · 27/11/2024 18:41

@WinterIsNearlyHere additional dates would be good - Wembley or Liverpool work best for us as Wembley is reasonably close to home and the Liverpool date is a Saturday and not too far away from DD's Uni city!

OatFlatWhiteForMePlease · 27/11/2024 18:42

That’s a pity. Good luck on Friday 🪩

Fizbosshoes · 27/11/2024 19:01

DD managed to get some today with a presale code (and DH credit card) She said she got a choice of seats but chose the top section because the others were over their budget

Hers were £90 each, seats in the next section down were 120

hashimotosucks · 27/11/2024 19:07

I tried presale for Wembley but only vip were left. Got tickets for Cardiff

YumiZumi · 27/11/2024 19:21

Try the live nation presale tomorrow? You need to sign up in advance.

LER83 · 27/11/2024 20:04

I'm trying for tickets on Friday, not holding out much hope! I absolutely hate buying tickets, I get so anxious about it! I've told my daughter i will try but highly unlikely any will be left that I can actually afford!

DrMadelineMaxwell · 27/11/2024 20:38

We were lucky and got 2 tickets in the presale through the ballot on LDR's site. Also in the higher area further back as others were so expensive.
I'm also on O2. I had a look at the time that went live and there weren't any left by the time I got through the waiting list!

DrMadelineMaxwell · 27/11/2024 20:40

Also - why do they never sell them on weekends or evenings? I'm a teacher and was bloody lucky to be able to manage to buy any tickets at all as usually I'm busy teaching when any go on sale.

1457bloom · 27/11/2024 20:43

Please don't be too hopeful. The many times I have tried with presales I have never managed to get a ticket. There is such huge demand for the good concerts like this, they sell out really quickly.

Pleasestopthebunfight · 29/11/2024 10:01

Well I've joined the queue - and as long as the 10,186 people in front of me don't buy any tickets, I should be fine - 😂

OP posts:
cordialzempy · 29/11/2024 10:19

@Pleasestopthebunfight new date released at Wembley!!! Join the other waiting room now! Sale opens 10.30am - I really hope you see this message!!!

3luckystars · 29/11/2024 10:20

Good luck !!

TimPat · 29/11/2024 10:23

@Pleasestopthebunfight there were 19500 in front of me on the o2 presale on Wednesday but I still managed to get 2 tickets for my niece. Fingers crossed for you!
