Has anyone else got the email being invited to the ballot for the new dates?

We got 6 tickets on the Saturday and both got the ballot email too so hopefully get another 4! Good luck everyone!

Why do you need another 4 when you have 6 already? It's no wonder so many people are missing out.

The moral thing to do would be to leave the ballot places for those it is intended for - those who did not get tickets.

Your good luck is misplaced IMO.

Moral thing?!

The number of people who haven't remotely done the moral thing when it's come to Oasis tickets makes me laugh.

I have much less issue with fans going to multiple dates - precisely because they are fans - than people trying to fleece fans by selling at inflated prices.

Target them before the actual fans willing to step thousands.

It’s like some sort of mass hysteria Fomo .. one of them can’t sing anymore (not that he could sing much in the first place), the other is “dialling it in” to pay for his divorce.

I saw them in 96 .. I shall stay with that memory.

Blouseybiggal · 09/09/2024 12:36

Mentioning morals given the price of the tickets and the contempt with which Oasis seem to have for their fans, is a bit rich!

I can’t believe anyone would even pay a fiver to go see those 2 knobheads…

We have donated all but 2 (saved 2 for ourselves) to a home for adults with special needs/disabilities, hopefully able to donate another 4 tickets to them so that more can go! Fingers crossed

Yes, my partners usual blunt and short approach without fully explaining it all lol

mucky123 · 09/09/2024 14:15

Has anyone got a code yet? not sure when they will start appearing (I know Friday is latest date).

Only been 14hrs since the ballot entry deadline – I'd give it a minute!

I thought donating tickets wasn't allowed. You'd better check that!

Given they dont close the ballot until Friday why will they send out codes before then?

It's supposed to be fair in terms of anyone who applies gets an equal chance. How can they do that if they start saying people are successful before the ballot closes?

It would otherwise give people who replied quickest most chance of winning the ballot!!! Thus defeating much of the point.

Entry for the ballot closed midnight on Sunday. Everyone who could have entered has now been entered, so having a code sooner or later makes no difference. The understanding is (various news sources, though nothing confirmed) is that the ticket sales may be done in waves, so people may receive codes at different times, depending on what waves they are allocated to. Or people may receive their codes at various points during this week for one ticket sale which will open after all the codes given out. The former is how Taylor Swift operated.

Maybe someone should start a thread for 'no I have not received a code yet' messages.
Not having a code at this stage is not really newsworthy (I understand we can write whatever we want on MN).
Receiving a code would be worth mentioning, or voicing disappointment after 9pm on Friday.

Huh? I thought entry for the ballot was closed? You had to confirm by last night before midnight.

Yes definitely!

We haven't got enough Oasis threads yet 😁

Fair point. I was just thinking that this will fill up with "I haven't got a code yet".
I suppose we'll just have to roll with it.

I'd demand a whole Oasis section but it's actually funnier to have multiple Oasis threads cos they make so many people implode.

RichinVitaminR · 09/09/2024 17:42

🙋🏼‍♀️ I got the email. Registered. We find out by Friday don’t we?

Yes. I found the registration form a bit unsatisfactory though. I don’t know if I am
signed up now for oasismynet and have had no confirmation email yet. My last page said ‘nearly there’ with terms and conditions. Is that what you had?

Yea it was really odd...but I got an email back eventually.
