Panto_Villan Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 My sister just rang me up because she got to the front of the queue for London and there were standing tickets still available, but she couldn't afford them - £360 each! Was calling to ask if I wanted them before they timed out. The site then threw and error and chucked her off anyway, but I think that's a bit too rich for my blood tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw they stuck "premium" on it and like pre show party entrance on them as a package, it was a ticket + something of no interest or value but you had to buy both together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Ticketmaster pricing on demand scam that they do , with some bullock’s about it reflects a fair price for in demand events … it’s their version of bending you over and going in dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 5 hour wait to be placed 370,000th in a queue for shit overpriced tickets Dunno why they didn't do a ballot over several days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Just saw someone post on fb, finally at the front of the queue and the tickets available are standing at €490 each, PLUS FEES. Piss taking of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever applied for the ballot gets their code etc. rather than pick and choose ballot winners and stagger it in blocks of users over a period of a few days.

mikeyp102 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 So 3 hrs later I eventually got in for the Cardiff venue on a Friday. Just to be met with 0 tickets coming up on all options. Tried another date to be back at 300k in the queue. That’s me done, resigned to looking out on resale/second sale (as I remember ticketmaster released some foo fighter tickets again closer to the event date). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I feel sorry for genuine fans priced out of the lottery like this. It’s a shitty way to allocate the tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
