Nope. Not got it despite being logged on for
most of last Saturday trying.

You can have mine if you want? I don't want it

I'm pretty sure the codes are linked to the email address.

Happysinglemum72 · 09/09/2024 18:42

Yes I got one…. But not using it…. The whole experience last week was atrocious and the ticket inflation leaves me wanting no part in it

You can't buy tickets even if you have a code if your email address and linked ticketmaster account is not one of the ballot winners. Ticketmaster comes up with an error message.

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

It’s a change from vat on school fees threads I supppse if nothing else

Oooo can we start a thread about how no one can afford private school anymore because of the cost of Oasis tickets?

Me, although I'm not sure that I got the year right! 😳 We actually already have tickets for Wembley, but we wanted to go to Manchester with friends, thought I'd go through the process anyway and see what happens...

Tbf with ticketmaster comes up with a error message when you're trying to buy as well...

The whole thing has been chaos really! The pricing system. The whole denial of knowing about pricing..ticketmaster having issues and chucking people off before they can complete a buy.
Really they should be the ones with priority but don't think has worked like that

Pinkchicken75 · 10/09/2024 07:53

Its a Joke , i was in queue ,well my phone still was after i thought it must of frozen ! 😂Had email for ballot. But why the you only got til midnight rubbish,

CatMummyOf3 · 10/09/2024 09:21

No, but I have no interest in seeing them so that's probably why!

Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said: 'It seems extremely unfair that Oasis fans got up early and battled through the queues only to find that tickets prices had more than doubled from the originally advertised price.

'Which? believes that Ticketmaster's 'in demand' pricing practices for Oasis tickets could have breached consumer law as it appears fans weren't properly warned about the use of "in demand" pricing until far too late in the purchase journey - leading to a nasty shock at the checkout.

'Oasis and Ticketmaster should do the right thing and refund fans who may have been misled into paying over the odds for tickets that would have been half the price just hours earlier.'

A spokesperson for Ticketmaster said: 'Fans can resell their Oasis tickets at the full price they paid through Ticketmaster or Twickets.'

Last week the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Ticketmaster over the sale.

Nothing for me yet either.

Ballots will be sent out by 9pm tonight.

Last time they went out at about 12.17pm for the 7pm presale that night.

I wouldn't expect anything to be sent out before midday today tbh.

Pinkchicken75 · 12/09/2024 09:22

@RedToothBrush so pre sale would be tomorrow 🤷🏼‍♀️
