    Yip,Ticketmaster are a law unto themselves I'm afraid .
    Manipulating supply to increase demand.

    There's going top be at max a few 100 put on platinum
    The VIP tickets are something the performer has arranged and organised and ticketmaster just have to facilitate.

    Touting is an issue, but this is one of if not the biggest pop gig of the year, with tickets going on sale a week before christmas, with high demand anyway!

    It's easy to blame ticketmaster for this selling out, and they're an very very easy blame,

    but in reality, just like the majority of quick sells that 'is all ticketmaster's fault', demand hugely outweighs supply.

    I do actually appreciate that ticketmaster put the good seats officially up for sale for a higher price. I would never buy through a secondary market ticket site since the scam rate is so high, but I happily paid the VIP fee on TM to sit with my daughter in the front row for this one.

    For 438.40euro you are on Santa's good list for sure.

    Want to adopt a 30something when Muse announce their next gig?

    I hope it's a great memory for the two of you :)

    How do you know the allocations held back for platinum / vip etc what is your sources? Demand definitely outstrips demand for gigs such as this, however TM and the lack of transparency in the primary market are predominately to blame.

    They may only sell a few hundred on Platinum but they hold back thousands so as to increase the demand so as people will panic buy Platinum and VIP.

    Hardly any of the lower tier seats went on sale today and there were none in the presales either which leads me to believe that most of these have been held back .

    Anyway I dont really care as I got tickets in the Presale ,I just dont like the way Ticketmaster are exploiting people .

    Got one for my daughter for xmas on the Mon, I was online at the exact time they went up and I didn't even get a sniff of a Sun ticket, when it failed I clicked back and tried Monday expecting nothing, but was suitably surprised.

    Ordered VIP hot tickets, which were meant to come with some extras, like laminated tour pass and poster. Received tickets only today, no extras. Same for everyone else?

    It will probably be shipped nearer the time or picked up at the venue.

    Ticketmaster playing games as usual .
    They released the tickets after 10.20 ,held most of them back at 9.
    3 gigs is complete saturation.

    Yet on three plus it says the presale was snapped up, I’ve gone on a few times and there’s still tickets available at the min. No € to get them at minute though.

    Next door asked me to try and help him get tickets for his daughters this morning.
    Had 2 computers and phone on.
    Countdown on computer on wifi was 25 seconds ahead of a wired computer and phone :confused:.
    Sold out in seconds even single tickets unless T/M are holding back tickets?

    One of the great things about a booming economy, "meet and greet" standing VIP tickets at €571 each also sold out!

    Was also trying, no joy.

    Looking for 2, put in 1 after many failed attempts to get 2. A single ticket came up once, but even they seem to be sold out now.
