to expect to be able to buy just one fucking Reading Festival Ticket?

[BigBadMummy]

DD wants one ticket for her 16th birthday.

Tickets went on sale at 6.45pm tonight, I was logged on and refreshing from 6.30pm....

Immediately they went on sale and I was being told it would be 15 minutes before I got to the front of the queue.

Get to the front.

All gone.

They are all general admission, there are no "best" etc.

£187 quid each and they have sold 86,000 in less than five minutes.

If I find any on eBay before midnight I am going to break people's fucking fingers.

It's rubbish isn't it. There should be a cap on the number of tickets one person can buy.

And they are all now available on Seatwave, with a £45 commission on them, plus £8 postage. Total for them on there is £317.

THere should be rules on other companies buying them all up to make money on them and sell them on.

I feel a letter to my MP coming on.

Poor DD is really upset. DH is even contemplating joining the 7am queue at HMV for some tommorrow morning and he doesn't do mornings!!

unless your from reading ( have a reading post code ) you don't get an equal look in when they go on sale now.
You will find quite a few on ebay soon.

I queued outside HMV last year to get tickets - they went on sale at 7pm. I joined the queue at 9am and was one of the last ones in the line to get one.

There will be people queueing now for tomorrow morning. He will have no chance if he leaves it tomorrow.

My advice is to keep trying on the internet. Credit cards will get refused and those tickets will be put back on sale.

One more thing BBM - I bought a weekend camping ticket for my son in the presale last year and he doesn't like the lineup that's been announced.

If he decides not to go - I'll offer it to you for what I paid.

malovitt I would love you forever if you did that!

Would happily pay him a bit more "for his trouble".

Three of DD's friends all got theirs in the pre-sale, I was banking on getting one for her tonight.
