How much of that does the bands actually see, you'd have to wonder.

Code received. Thanks. TBH they rarely tour outside of the US so grab them while you can, if your a fan. Re the price, it has definitely become the norm, and hey, 'Can't buy a Thrill' you know😋

Saw that ad. earlier. Unfortunately I couldn't afford it. But I don't mind living on the sonic memories. IMHO one of the best musically and talent wise. Songs on Aja still sound as good to me as back then. Hope you all enjoy and it is a great event.

samo · 09-05-2017 4:51pm

Unreal, amazing opportunity to see Steely Dan. I read earlier that they are currently touring with The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Journey and so on which would be quite a lineup.

If there is anyone with a spare 3 pre-sale code, would really appreciate it, Steely Dan were really the first exploration for me musically into such a diverse genre, would love to see them!

Hi Samo - I sent you a PM with the code.

Well first gig since 96 and dont tour much out of USA thinking it might be popular

jeff_16 · 10-05-2017 6:58am

Hi all, I'm a lifelong fan of Steely Dan but have never had the opportunity to see them live. I would be grateful if anyone had a presale code to PM me...Thank you!

Myrrhman22 · 10-05-2017 7:27am

Hello all, my wife and me would like to see The Dan again. We would travel from Germany. Any chance to get a Pre Sale Code?
Kind regards

samo · 10-05-2017 9:09am

Despite a minor panic because the pre-sale link dissapeared and then losing my tickets because of Verified By Visa :mad::eek::eek: ..I was able to grab 2 more 8 rows further back so got them!!

So delighted

:D

Huge thanks to Xaracatz for the code :cool:..now I need coffee!

Any luck anyone?

I didnt bother trying as Ticketmaster had it listed as an all seated gig and I prefer to stand plus good seats would be very expensive.
It now seems to have standing seats for 86 euro though ,Ticketmaster ye clowns.

woejus · 10-05-2017 9:29am

any one else want a code? will send to first reply

camanstar · 10-05-2017 9:32am

Have a code and can't see presale, any suggestions?

Lots. You think their manager sits back and just looks at the huge money the promoter makes and is happy with 10% of the bands small fee?

You have to go into ticketbastard from the presale link here, you put the code in when selecting tickets

I'm having absolutely no luck, panicking now.

gone

corm500 · 10-05-2017 9:52am

Saying no tickets available &#55357;&#56866;

The Nal · 10-05-2017 9:53am

There were no standing at 9am. I got 3 at 9.05
Do they stagger the tickets over the 2 days of the presale?

samo · 10-05-2017 9:57am

I got 2 at 10.03 (lost them then thanks to credit card error

)) but luckily enough got 2 more at 10.05 for Block G but when I re-tried at first it was saying none available.

I was offered Block G only first but don't want to sit so went back through again and got standing after twice being told none were available. So Block G and a limited number of standing it seems were on sale today.

camanstar · 10-05-2017 10:33am

Just got 2 seated ... @11.30am

verat · 10-05-2017 10:33am

Same thing happened a few years back for Simply Red. I took a chance and turned down the sh#tty presale tickets and waited until they went on general release, ended up getting brilliant tickets in the seating section so I think I'll take my chances again this time. Couldn't be worse than what they were offering me a while ago.

The presale seats are generally crap .
Its handy for standing tickets though.

lee_baby_simms · 10-05-2017 10:42am

Ticketmaster is a royal scam.

You would wonder how they release tickets .
Is it automated ,is it a person making the calls what to release ,when to release ,what sections etc.
They do like to sell alot of the crap seats first in big venues.

Maybe they sold out the initial presale allocation and added a new one .
I'm convinced its a monkey pressing a button half the time.

camanstar · 10-05-2017 10:52am

Got 2 standing tickets YYYEEESSSSS Thanks for help

:D

10-05-2017 11:22am

Some more came online at 11.30. Got seats in Block E. Expensive but happy!

Seem to be releasing more in stages.

Effects · 10-05-2017 2:11pm

I used the Three presale once. My friends got much better seats on general release.
Pure scam to make people think they are getting something special.

Oh it's a royal scam alright!

Well... not really, I wanted standing tickets, got them.

If I wanted a decent 128e seat, there's still, hours later, a couple for sale on there that I would go for.

Tickets sorted already for our group and no scramble Friday morning, what's not to like!

Agree... I want to go.... Not sure I want to go THAT much though

leakyboots · 11-05-2017 9:30am

86e to see two bands of the calibre of The Dan and The Doobies is good value I'd have thought?

HeidiHeidi · 11-05-2017 6:39pm

Can I ask a possibly silly question?

How do you go about using someone else's presale code?

I got a link from a pal, but when I use it I just get the 3 website, which I have to log into - only I can't because I'm not a 3 customer!

I've never used these presale codes before, so no idea of how it works.

Could s/he log in themselves and get the code and then I could use that on the TM website?

Or does a pal have to buy the ticket for me altogether?

And then, if they did, can I use that if they're not present (are tickets issued to named persons)?

Just wondering how the whole thing works!

(Going to have a go at the general release ones tomorrow anyhow)

verat · 11-05-2017 7:57pm

Just follow the link posted on pg 2 of this thread, click on the artist you want tickets for, and it'll take you to the presale page of TM. Put in the code after you enter the amount required. To be honest, I didn't like the seats they were selling and they seem to be only directing to Seatwave now. I'm taking a chance too and buying tomorrow on General Release. Good luck

DrWu · 12-05-2017 8:27am

Tickets bought! Saw them in the point in 96 so I cant wait for this one. I'd say there's a fair chance that Michael McDonald will be on this tour too!
