Oasis ballot

[MrsChestnut]

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

Just got my confirmation email - 3ish hours after completing the registration form. Good luck everyone🤞

They'll by 20 and 18 by the time of the concert, so no worries there

Ah you're grand then, good luck!

No confirmation email yet here but fingers crossed. 2 is a joke though, queued 5 hours on Saturday for 4!

What form?

The first email takes you to a form to complete and answer a question, you then get a second email which can be a few hours later with a link to click on to join the ballot

That’s the thing - I didn’t .. I only took a punt last Saturday morning and logged into ticketmaster at 7.55 am to see how I got on !

I would have those issues too but it still seems fairer to me. I live in an apparent ‘hotspot’ where people couldn’t even get onto the site, so even with work/ kids sorted I had zero chance. Technology is great when it works.

Finally got the confirmation email so first hoop jumped through. Next hoop will be wait to see if I get another email with a code that should arrive no later than 9pm 13th September. If I get a code then third hoop will be logging on to ticketmaster I assume next Saturday and queuing to enter a fecking lobby to wait to buy the tickets. I should know better but here goes.

No email here for me or DS despite trying the first ballot and both of us queuing for hours last Saturday ☹️

I was being patient waiting for my email confirmation but I've just seen on TikTok several videos where they get the "you're confirmed" after they've looked at the Ts and Cs. I didn't get that. Others have said they didn't seem to get a confirmation so I wasn't too worried but now I've seen these videos I'm thinking something is wrong somewhere.

3 hours and no email.

This

Online access is far from perfect but it’s much fairer than in-person queuing, because a virtual queue is accessible to almost everyone. When in person queuing would likely mean overnights, unprecedented amounts of bodies etc, you’d need things like security and safety measures, possibly police involvement, which is a terrible waste of public resources.

A ballot system from the start was likely the better idea, but hindsight is 20/20 – knowing how demand would exactly impact the limitations of the website’s servers was either not fully known or not fully thought through.

🙄

And mine

I didn’t look at the t&cs. My confirmation took 2.5hrs and I registered at 7:45am. It seems to take longer the later you registered, presumably because it’s a Sunday and people are accessing their emails later morning so backlog is building up.

You'll get confirmation soon. Mine took a good few hours.

But not everybody that 'qualifies' for the ballot has been given the opportunity which is utterly bizarre. Seems like there's a ballot for the ballot.

Thank you @Morph22010 . I didnt get the ballot email. I was in queue for 7 hours, not sure why I did not ger it.

@Didimum But did you get the "you're confirmed" message or "nearly there"

I've filled out the form but not received the confirmation email yet. Did everyone eventually get them?

I just checked. Think mine took around 2 hours.

Thank you. Fingers crossed!

For the people who didn't get an email despite queuing and being signed in to their ticketmaster account last week. Did you get to the stage where you got onto the site and selected the date and venue? It seems that if you were in the queue waiting to get on to ticket master then this wouldn't count. So unfair that not everyone has been emailed.
