    Had seats added to cart, got to a donation popup and donated a fiver, got an order number but I wasn't charged for any tickets. Dropped them a pleasant mail in the off chance they are reserved still as I took note of the seats.

    I was logged in to the NCH site from 9. Got kicked out around 20 past 9, refreshed and got the You Are In A Queue message.

    I kept the browsers open and it refreshed and could see the concert page around 20 to 10 and got logged in.
    From then on kept hitting F5 on the keyboard and just on 10 got the option to Book Tickets.

    Was also trying on the phone and from 5 to 10 the phone was engaged.

    Got 2 for the Yellow Balcony, looked like a lot of the seats were already gone even at that stage, the seating options were sparse so I guess you'd be right about a lot of the tickets being held for guests/media.

    Counting myself very lucky and happy to have them. Was at the Philip Chevron tribute before he died and extremely glad I got to that, who know when we'll see the remaining members of The Pogues together again.

    9:30 is all. I only realised on the bus in that it wasn't a Ticketmaster thing.

    Raging now I didn't go in to queue, was going to head in about 8 o clock but I thought I'd have no chance of getting a ticket, thought there'd be loads queueing.

    I can't say for sure but I imagine you'd have gotten one.

    I went in to NCH also but left it too late to go in. Raging as I could have gone in earlier.

    I suppose there is zero chance of another gig "for the fans" considering the uniqueness of it.

    I tried logging into my account on the NCH website at just after 9.20am and I kept getting the 'we're experiencing high demand' message and tried refreshing and still didnt get too log in so went to the event page and after a few tries the page came up and then at 10am it just keep refreshing and didn't appear until the dreaded sold out was added to it. I generally believe if it was run through TM i would of picked up tickets as the NCH system shat itself .

    congrats too everyone who got lucky and you're in for one hell of a night. I got tickets too pearl jam in London next year dis morning so that put a smile back on my face

    Somehow - pure fluke, I got tickets over the phone on the day they went on sale. Really looking forward to it! Will post a review tomorrow. Long time Pogues fan, seen them in Town and Country, Kentish Town a few times years ago, seen them do a great gig 90-92? in Wembley Arena. A few times (at least once when Shane was gone) at the Fleadh in Finsbury Park, was also at a"Trip to Tipp" when they played (v badly)...
