    Of course there will. But to claim you won't be able to give them away is just nonsense.

    Missus picked great seats for Monday, fken aib notification never came up, tried again, nothing. Called me, tried again with my card, ok seats, notification all good, confirmed, something went wrong, error. Second time with my card, timed out. Ffs. But in the end, ended up with 4 reasonably cheap upper davin stand tickets. Better than nothing

    Finally got through and there is no option to buy tickets, it just shows the seating layout and tells me the sale is happening now


    what the ****?

    Its ticketmaster that initiate the demand at a certain date and time. They could easily implement a system that removes that specific scramble for tickets but they dont want to because they are using a few clever psychological tactics to maximise sales.

    First is the lack of ticket prices published in advance as that would turn people off even trying and it makes use of impulse when purchasing. How many people paid more for tickets among all the scramble today than they would have if asked beforehand?

    The massive levels of FOMO are used to sell people on grabbing any ticket they can even the inflated packages, “enhanced experience” which is just some overpriced and widely available merchandise thrown in with more expensive ticket.

    Ticketmaster are good at what they do, but they dont work for the band or provide a service for the customer, they initiate demand, leverage their dominance in the market and capitalise on it very very well.

    Nothing available for less than 300 quid on 3 days after checking since 10. Just wanted pitch tickets, even 1 to be honest. Will see what turns up on general release or next year.

    Yeah, Ticketmaster will be delighted with how today went, extra 2 shows, massive demand and all over mainstream and social media. That a lot of the social media posts are negative won't cause them a mins thought as general sale is on Friday and tickets can only be got through them.

    Not much chance of anything changing in how they handle these sales any day soon

    Before Ticketmaster could sell out 4 big concerts like this in an hour or 2 , now it takes then 6 hours, almost a full workday for some.

    And still no tickets for some after all that.

    Thats progress for you.

    Hi,

    No luck today either. Didn’t realise you had to register with MCD. If anybody has a spare code I’d appreciate it.

    Thanks

    got in for the sunday night and just map of stadium, no option to purchase. Does this mean i have to start queue again in the morning or all pre sale gone now?

    Is there any estimate on how many tickets have been set aside for presale? If its 20k a gig then there's hope for Friday. If its half then Friday will just be round 2 of today's shitshow.

    Nope, nobody knows. If anyone claims they do, they're just guessing.

    They sold enough tickets today, to ensure that 2 extra dates were added. How many tickets were going on sale for each day?

    I would say it was higher than 20,000. I think I saw someone from the thread 30000 ish in the queue getting tickets.

    Ticketmaster is a monopoly and should not be allowed under EU rules.

    Also a lottery based system and personal identification on ticket sites would cut out all the bots and all the wasted time by real humans.

    "Queuing" is a nonsense for online ticket sales.
