Is anyone else getting unreasonably mad that the ticketmaster site has completely crashed whilst trying to secure oasis tickets?!

Yeah, she knows it's futile but is gutted so I think doing something is helping.

I've told her to go see 3 better bands for the same money.

That's a nasty thing to say to someone who is gutted they missed out on seeing someone they really wanted to see. It's really dismissive of her feelings.

I've selected seats and it's been on the 'confirming availability' page for about 5 mins. Anyone else had this?

Yes. We had no luck with that seat type and had to go for restricted view.

FlangeBoil · 31/08/2024 10:53

I've gotten some - platinum tickets at £500 each

It wasn't really like that. I was paying and going to go with her. We share music tastes and were talking through great bands that are touring - Fontaines DC, Wunderhorse, etc. Like a 'chin up', we can go see other bands sweetie.

Nasty 😂. My dd would never see me as nasty.

I went to see what the queue was like. They're not even bothering to give numbers now. It just says you're in a queue.

I'm just leaving it out of interest and so I can wind dh up when he comes down to tell him I'm sitting in the queue for Oasis tickets. 😂

DrRiverSong · 31/08/2024 11:00

I’m realistic about not getting any tickets but I’m disappointed. I missed seeing them in the 90s and would have loved to go. This modern way of getting tickets sucks.

3luckystars · 31/08/2024 11:01

Im so glad I don’t like Oasis, this is awful for the fans.

We were desperate so had both our laptops and a mobile phone, which we hoped would increase the likelihood of getting tickets. Nope, all that happened was it thought we were bots and kicked us out 😭 The whole system doesn't actually work for fans it seems!

To be fair that's common knowledge and Ticketmaster tells you only to use one device. You can use a phone on 4G and and a device on WiFi but not more that one device per internet connection, it's designed to stop bots.

MummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking · 31/08/2024 11:04

Whatever happened to (hear me out, I'm old and this is how we did it) - the phone! Get a call centre manned, join a phone queue.

  1. You speak to a person, no block buying bots could get through.
  2. No being kicked out through technical fuck ups.
  3. To alleviate time spent sorting out the tickets, still register all your details online. The call centre person can verify you, so you don't have to spell out your address or bank details, just which show you want, ticket type and how many. Sorted.

Probably some other issues to iron out, but for massive demand concerts such as this, time to bring back the phone maybe?

You're in the queue for the queue. You don't get numbers until you reach the front of the queue and enter the next queue

DD knows this, did everything right and still got suspended.

Evenstar · 31/08/2024 11:07

@LongLiveTheLego does that apply if you are on two separate accounts on the same internet connection?

Only for the fans who miss out. Plenty of fans will get tickets!

Duchessofmuchness · 31/08/2024 11:07

And tickets on viagogo for £1000 per ticket - hope they get cancelled

That is so funny! I'm in a queue for a queue for something I don't want.

I shall send dh a screen shot and tell him that as so many people want it I have FOMO and am joining them. 🤣 It's a group experience you see.

TheChosenTwo · 31/08/2024 11:08

They’ll probably be headlining Glastonbury for anyone who might not be successful but would be trying to get tickets for that (not me, no chance!).

…has anyone heard Liam Gallagher sing recently ? He sounds like a poor Oasis tribute act, his voice has gone … and knowing people who have seen him live recently, it’s worse in person than recorded .

I saw them in 96, it was great … I’m not trying for tickets this time, those magic days have gone, and no over priced gig, filled with people who weren’t there the first time round, will be able to replicate it.

Enjoy your memories, and save your money … they will probably fall out anyway!

This.

I really don’t get the fuss. Oasis were crap then and they’ll be crap now. Probably worse 😂

PrimalLass · 31/08/2024 11:10

Saw Liam a few weeks ago - thought he was great.

They've said they aren't. It was part of the tour announcement.

3luckystars · 31/08/2024 11:12

I wouldn’t go if they paid me.
Its really terrible gouging the fans though. Where will it end.

tattiescone10 · 31/08/2024 11:13

Don't know how I managed but decided to give it a go at 8.40 clicked on was put in a waiting room then at 9 I got added to a queue for my selected date. Was 875 in the queue, through in 5 mins and got 4 seated tickets. Cost me £200 each though! Didn't get to choose where or what.
I tried to pay PayPal and it didn't work so I paid debit. I've got the PayPal payment pending out my bank too though so I hope that sorts itself out...

I wonder if they might headline another festival? Isle of Wight maybe?

RosaBaby2 · 31/08/2024 11:14

Got 4 standing for Wembley at 10.53, they weren't available at first but I kept trying and someone else's must have timed out. I'm not even going but happy teens!

Zebedee999 · 31/08/2024 11:14

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?

twilightermummy · 31/08/2024 11:17

I can't even get on to the website! It's a ten hour wait and I've not even specified that I'm looking for Oasis tickets! Madness.
