24,000 people in front of you. Wow how lovely to be so super popular?

Has anyone waited?
What could be done to stop people selling them on for profit?

Does anyone pay an excessive amount for them? I wouldnt.

I was on 8 virtual queues.

ended up getting good tickets (at way more than I wanted to pay) for bloody august 2024 🙈

Apparently he was on a show last night furious about those being sold on and Co soldering putting in the same rule Glastonbury had where the original purchaser had to be present with Id

Got tickets for May 2024, just kept the tab open and waited. Ed Sheeran managed to avoid resellers, and his tickets were sensible prices, so it can be done.

Outtasteamandluck · 12/11/2022 14:55

I was in one queue that was 390,000 long.

Managed to get tix for October 2024.

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 12/11/2022 14:56

No queue on eventim website for Manchester. Straight on, choice of dates and tickets.

glamourousindierockandroll · 12/11/2022 14:56

I'm regretting not sticking with it now. I was 4000 at one point then accidentally refreshed to be 44000. I waited for a while and then went about my day. Thinking i maybe should have had more patience!

Skinnermarink · 12/11/2022 14:57

God that’s so long in the future!! I’d assumed it would be for next year. I wonder if they’ll all go ahead.

debbiewest0 · 12/11/2022 14:58

Yes Ed Sheeran we had to cancel going, so the only way was to resell via the same website at the same price and of course they may not have sold. I think this stopped people profiting. Also to attend you had to have your original booker and phone I believe. This was much more fair

Will wait for the DVD to come out.

Landlubber2019 · 12/11/2022 15:01

I was 3600 in the queue but with no 2 seats together unless paying > £150 per seat.

RewildingAmbridge · 12/11/2022 15:02

Even at 150 a ticket no London seats left unless you want to sit alone

Biker47 · 12/11/2022 15:04

Finally got in just now 5 minutes ago, after waiting since 10am, no tickets where I wanted, had to rejoin the queue if I wanted to check elsewhere, 320,000 people in front of me, no thanks, is disgusting that people who had their tickets cancelled last time didn't get access first, was a pisstake getting the tickets the last time.

Goldieshock · 12/11/2022 15:06

Got 2 for October 2024 - been on and off queuing since yesterday

Anatomical · 12/11/2022 15:08

Got two for London Nov 2024 - DD got London next summer so she's very happy - logged on when they opened and only had 300 people in front if her!

Agree. Now we are waiting until 2025 abd it will probably be cancelled again.

Turkeylurky · 12/11/2022 15:13

Got 2 tickets for the O2 in May. I gave up on Ticketmaster and was browsing Twitter were someone suggested gigsandtours.com.. went straight through and chose our tickets.

WhatASmashingBlouseYouHaveOn · 12/11/2022 15:19

Was on the ticket master waiting list all afternoon and it booted me off. Don't know if I want to book something so far in advance 🤔

Blueskythinking123 · 12/11/2022 15:32

@Crankley those tickets are being sold at an inflated price.

Lds1 · 12/11/2022 15:32

Viagogo is a reselling site, it won't have a queue as they buy the tickets from legitimate sites and sell them for inflated prices .

RoachTheHorse · 12/11/2022 15:34

How so long. I was on just before ten an and tickets bought before quarter past. That's barmy. I bet he's not happy about scalpers.

Something HAS to be done about ticket resale. There must be a way to manage it.

Champagneforeveryone · 12/11/2022 15:35

I just can't bring myself to book something for 2024.

A colleague is planning a 2024 wedding and even that seems excessively early, though less so than booking to see Peter Kay 😉

I'm guessing there will be resales available as time goes on.

columbo83 · 12/11/2022 15:36

How much are the actual tickets costing through ticket master?

DutchessOfMuck · 12/11/2022 15:37

It took me 5 hours today and I originally wanted Glasgow. But thankfully managed to get 2 tickets for £120. October 2024 at the 02. They are a surprise for DH birthday this month.

Boxofsockss · 12/11/2022 15:40

both me and my partner were in the queue. Joined minutes apart. I was around number 2000 at 10am. He was 6000. I didn’t get tickets. He did! I think they added new dates when my partner got through whereas they must have sold out when I was trying !
