official resellers selling them before they actually go on sale is ridiculous & something needs to be done about these profiteering scum

It is ridiculous. Got through on www.gigsandtours.com two mins b4 9am went to payment stage for manchester show when at the end it said whilst you were making this transaction all tickets were sold.

The internet is crap for tickets and needs sorting out.

I then phoned Birmingham Ballroom venue direct on 0121 320 2820 and got throuhg to a human being no problems at all so got tickets for Birmingham. One of my mates cannot make that date so Manchester was the no1 choice but at least I am still going. And for them to go straight onto ebay is just wrong. I feel for you people who miss out again. I had to pay £60 for my troxy ticket. If you wait until near the avctual date you will probably get tickets almost at fave value that is what happened for troxy date.

When the NME are selling tickets at 9.01am for 64 quid a pop, what the fuck chance did we have.

Any one actually get tickets for Manchester via proper sites?

When I am Queen, all Touts will be publicly flogged before being thrown in a cell with Celine Dion playing continuously.

For ever.

Congratulations on being on ticketmaster at such a stupid time. We're all deeply saddened that you didnt get a ticket despite obviously being first in the queue.

Isnt it funny though, that when i checked half way through my lesson at about half nine see tickets still had tickets for Manchester left, before the second gig went on sale?

Same thing happened to me.

Then it told me to call the venue and after minutes of fannying around dialling in random numbers they told me there wasn't enough tickets available to fulfil my request for "one" ticket and to press 1 if I wanted to try ordering less.:skeptic:

Wouldn't mind so much but my boss decided to give me a 10 minute bollocking at 8:55 am.
