LOL if you think that €40 in 2000 would be €60 in 2016.

LOL. Based on inflation €40 euro in 2000 would be worth roughly €55 now. Ticketmaster inflation seems to be working to different rules though. LOL at all of us indeed.

Can't quote posts yet but @chuky_r_law, I'm a right granny, I love sitting at concerts. I don't get the appeal of being squashed up against other people and as a short person, I can't see a thing!

We got tickets! God bless the 3 app.

Im a shorty too and you can guarantee the tallest person in the arena will end up standing in front of me.
But Ive never done seating in the arena so figured there was just as much chance of that tall person being in the seat in front of me and blocking my view when everyone stands up anyway.

Also Im terrible with heights.

According to the CSO website it would be closer to €50 than €60.

I'll happily take your ticket if it's too much for poor old you, god love you getting a ticket that 99% of people didn't

Can anyone answer this, I got 2 tickets but it printed the name that was on the credit card on the tickets not my ticket master account name. It's my dads name. Will I contact ticketmaser or as long as the surname is the same/bring both our ID i'll be ok? Or do I have to go with my dad :P

Toutless.com are not allowing buying/selling/swapping for this gig because of the buyer must attend rule.Great.

How well is that rule enforced does anyone know?

tiredcity · 04-11-2016 10:54AM

TBF think that's the first time in 16 years that I didn't eventually get tickets so can't really complain! I blame advancing decrepitude resulting in a nanosecond of prioritising a cup of tea over the millionth refresh :pac:

Here's hoping for a second gig! Downloaded the app after the fact seeing as apparently that was the way to go.

As limiting as the named ticket end of things can be, it really does cut down on the usual resale/touting bollox. Off the top of my head Tom Waits had similar restrictions with regard to ID and that worked out fine but you are sort of rolling the dice on definitely being able to attend.

Pickpocket · 04-11-2016 10:54AM

It's an outrageous amount of money to see a band. However I was happy to pay it and in truth I'd have paid a lot more. And it's that willingness to pay that encourages bands and promoters to charge through the nose. Long live the circus.

I was offered tickets on the mobile browser, not the app, straight away at 9.00 with no q. I wonder what ticket pool the mobile browser pulls from?

Blackstar767 · 04-11-2016 10:58AM

Had a ticket, block K, ready to purchase, Verified by Visa locks me out.
I'm calling ****ing VbV, waiting 5 minutes for someone to answer, 1 minute to answer all the stupid questions, timer's out, ticket's gone. What can I say, my life.

Contact Ticketmaster and get a definite answer. Don't rely on hearsay. If you can contact them by email so you have a written record. I know that sounds rather paranoid but a simple thing like this could cause a lot of stress on the night if the staff don't know the correct policy. Get on top of it asap. I'm sure you'll be fine and your poor old dad won't have to dance along to Idioteque.

I'm almost 6 foot, 8 inches tall, before I wear heels. I' gonna follow you around all night you ungrateful little brat.

MattD · 04-11-2016 11:04AM

Had a gang of 5 friends trying this morning, 2 of us were successful with 8 standing tickets between us. Mornign well spent

Ha, as if concert tickets follow economy inflation. Now that big concerts and music events are all the rage and casual touts have a seat at the right hand of the father, promoters can charge whatever they like. FOMO will ensure someone will always pay more.

Eventim are so much better at selling tickets than Ticketmaster as they stagger the ticket release .
You can pick your exact seat location too if available.

We like to meet up beforehand in high ceiling-ed pubs and agree a plan to find the shorter people to stand in front of, we find it's better to work together and spread out in the crowd for maximum impact.

We also have a sister group - "the big hairs" and finally you have the very rare - Tall with big hair who like the seats.

Mike Guide 69 · 04-11-2016 11:08AM

I feel like forking out the cash and hitting Rock Werchter next year where they are playing over in Belgium, at least you'll have a good few days of great bands

Blackstar767 · 04-11-2016 11:09AM

I've had this working for 15 minutes now.
Don't know if Ticketmaster's pulling my chain or if I'm actually in a queue for anything.

from what I've read, Eventim were the only ones selling standing tickets too. Gigsandtours, Ticketmaster etc. were only given allocations of seating tickets.

I got SectionGA2RowG3 and paid 97 because of course to do everything fast I didn't realized I bought insurance with them grrrr

I done the same and just cancelled the insurance via email. They got back to me within 10 minutes. Payment returned within 3-5 working days. Contact Allianz. You should have already received an email with you policy details.

Ably assisted by his Colombian vice-president, Carlos Valderrama.

That's unusual but Eventim are the official ticket seller for the Manchester Arena .
They are German so very efficient.
