    Girlfriend managed to get standing in the end, way after it said there was none left. Keep on trying for whatever your preference is.

    Knowing ticketmaster, they'll release another batch in a week or two anyway.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Bought seated tickets and my Daughter got standing. Will ticketmaster refund the seated ones if I drop them an email?

    Yep.
    Send T/M a mail here
    https://www.ticketmaster.ie/ourguarantee

    You have 3 days from purchase to get a full refund for the tickets.

    Sent an email and got an immediate reply saying tickets are cancelled and refund will be processed. Thanks for the advice, didn't know about ticketmaster's 3 day refund policy and thought I would have to try to sell them.

    some good ones after all the waiting/stress etc.

    If tickets are being cancelled right away I wonder if this is a case of potential touts buying up tickets in the hope the gig sells out. Then see it is not sold out and so ask to cancel.

    About 10am I just tried to see and none were available, I thought any glitches should have calmed down by then. I can get 8 gold circle now, or 8 seats together.

    Or else its a combination of this and they usual trickery of holding back ones to sell the crap first. You can see platinum pitch A are available too.

    Its all games by Ticketmaster .

    “Demand for Spice Girls was off the chart,” Andrew Parsons, Ticketmaster’s managing director, said.
    “They have smashed through Ticketmaster UK’s records becoming the busiest ever sale.
    “There were millions of people on our site searching for tickets, with a queue at one point of well over 700,000.”
    Parsons added: “Hundreds of thousands of tickets were sold to happy fans across the country within minutes.
    “Congratulations to the girls. From what we saw, they could have played nearly every night for a year.”

    Every night for a year ,yet they cant even sell out the majority of the UK gigs ,most of which have huge hold backs.

    some artists will stick to one side of the stage, e.g. bob dylan usually goes one side, and for the stones I think Richards sticks to one side, I think in slane people were pissed off as the sides changed after buying. The spice girls might do the same so you might want one side rather than the other.

    100% pitch A. Unless you wanna go in early and get to the front of Pitch C, but it could be very congested there too.

    With Pitch A you can stroll in 5 minutes before the start and be right up the front.

    Are Pitch A and B equally as good as each other, obviously aside from being on opposites sides of the stage? Everything else being equal, are they much the same?

    Or is Pitch A that bit more "premium" or accessible?

    No doubt regular price pitch tickets will reappear, just like they did for the stones.

    "oh look, we moved a speaker so now have some additional production tickets on the pitch, 15,000 of them."

    Meanwhile people will panic buy overpriced seats which they do not really want.

    There's nothing stopping someone advertising tickets at €100,000 each,
    it just doesn't mean they will be sold at that price.
    People are not paying €500 for a ticket, sellers are advertising them at that hoping someone with more money than sense buys them.
    I would be amazed if anybody has bought tickets at high prices for this gig.

    For anyone still looking, wait and see how many tickets come back on Monday after people return them to T/M.

    Try telling that to Rock ,he was on Radio 1 just now saying the gig sold out in minutes and people were paying 500 euro for tickets .
    He loves self promotion.

    not anymore, I guess you are unaware of this. It is limited to 3 times per year but I imagine that would be easy to get around.
    We now have a fan guarantee for our customers, where we can offer a 72-hour cooling off period. This means you can cancel and refund your order if you change your mind within 72 hours of booking with us.

    There are a few things that aren’t covered by the guarantee, so be sure to check the exclusions below before putting in a request.
    • Fan Guarantee does not apply to VIP tickets, packages , deposit schemes/instalment plans or events where you pick a specific time slot.
    • Refunds are not available on events within 14 days of the event.
    • You can request up to three refunds in a calendar year.
    • We’ll refund the full value of your order unless the tickets have been posted. If they have, we’ll retain the delivery fee.
    • We can only cancel the tickets themselves – if you added any extras to your order like insurance or collector tickets, you’ll still be charged for these.
    • We can offer exchanges for tickets in the same price bracket or higher, subject to a £6/ €6 admin fee per booking. Please be aware that if an event does sell out, an exchange won't be available.
