London Gig - who's going? (..or who wants to go?!)
Archived79 replies · 4,932 views
Tickets available now at VIAGOGO at various rip off prices from all the bastards who managed to get tix with no intention of ever going.
All gone within a couple of minutes. Fucking gutted.
Luckily you can buy a couple off of this utter cunt on ebay:
CUNT.
am fuming.
had 3 seats in average row on gigantic that went on sale before 9 then troxy came on line & got 3 in the front row. entered details for that & it went down. went back to gigantic & that went down as well!
then sold out everywhere.
but bit happier as kept retrying (wanted 3) nothing tried again at troxy site & managed to get two.
am in one of the booths, so guess i'm in which is a compensation, but have to let someone down now.
Used the Troxy countdown timer, called bang on time, got through and then the bloke told me to call back in 2 minutes when surprise, surprise all the ticket are gone. Now up on other sites at silly money. Not happy :-(
I think I got them, not sure?
Went on Ticketline, signed up yesterday, and went straight through to payment. I've got a confirmation number and everything. Then when I went to check on the number it's not there. I'm thinking it's too soon?
What's strange is my bank in Germany usually sends me to another screen, and it didn't this time.
It just seemed too easy. I had so many problems with tickets for Belgium, but I did finally get them from the waiting list.
This time it just seemed too easy...
Kept refreshing SEE TICKETS website. At 9am clicked BUY TICKETS, and chose two standing. By the time I had entered my card details, they were no longer available. HTF does it sell out in the time it takes to fill in your card details??!!! FFS I think I have managed to get circle seats, I guess thats better than nothing...
What a mess.
4 browswers open
Stargreen - available but by the time I clicked "Collect" to save me £6.25 sold out Ticketline went straight to seats in the balcony. No. SeeTickets managed to get standing, but with rip off fees, and the rest, the total was £9 over the face value. Scum.
Still, I'll be there.
Why can't they stagger these sales? Putting this on sale the same time as the RHCP go on sale is just silly. Everyone with cloth ears was buying their stadium rock tickets at the same time and swamping the internet with traffic.
ticketline let me select a ticket and enter details and then told me there were none available, despite saying tickets were reserved for 7 minutes once selected... Anyone with spares?

Yay it just appeared in my email and on the site. I guess I'm going!
Well I must have got lucky - Ticketline let me select 2 standing just before 9 and confirmed immediately.
So me and my mate Jonny are going.
I've been busy all week and hadn't heard about this gig. :(
First I knew about it was when I got an email from a mate... saying he had bought me an early Christmas present - I am going! :)
That Ebay tout flogging standing tickets worth £40 for £150 Buy It Now each really is lower than vermin. Something should really be done about that sort of thing in law.
Commiserations to those who lost out, I'm sure in the coming days spares will be floating around in the usual circles. Realistically I could only stretch to the one Standing which I've just had e-mail confirmation of.
Best of luck to all still hunting for tix.
ANYBODY GOT SPARE 3 TICKETS, GUTTED. Went on aloud.com went through till then end then it crashed stating duplicate order tir again and same thing. Phone ticketline at 9am told me it was a minute to and put the phone down. miseed out!!!! aaarrrghhh.
Made it...Troxy site...Only 28 years since I first saw them, Tower Ballroom Edgbaston, Birmingham...
Don't you just hate the robbing gits on E-Bay??
Good luck and hope I see you all there
Anyone who's missed out - keep trying!
Fortunately my year 10s are doing an assessment this lesson, so I've been sitting refreshing ticketline, seetickets, etc. for the last 45 minutes and have just managed to get a ticket through the Troxy/ticketline site... Restrcicted view seat, but better than nothing...

FUCKING JOKE.
NONE OF THE CORBY ORDER HAVE TICKETS.
TO SAY I'M FUCKING ANNOYED.......AS FOR THESE CUNTS SELLING THEM FOR EXTROTIONATE PRICES, I'D LOVE 5 MINUTES IN A ROOM WITH THE BASTARDS.
I feel like buying these off this guy and then taking him to court under trades description and getting my money back after the gig!:
"This is a great chance to see what is probably one of Britains most loved band of the 80s with its original line up!!!"

Keep trying Shug - I thought all was lost, but it does seem as though some are popping back up on various official sites...

fookin crazy! i left the ticketline immediately as it was a mess and got 2 from seetickets.
i think bands are mis judging the market i know people who had similar experience for the cure at the albert hall selling out in 3 minutes and tickets on ebay for £800 within 30 seconds.
Why they could not have done a pre sale or let's be honest play a more suitable sized venue like the town and country club (now the forum) or roundhouse or hammersmith apollo??
Anyway perhaps this time i will say hi to the vikings from this board as should have introduced myself at most of the gigs over the last 6/7 years including New York but never got round to it!! (probably too scared !!)
Everyone with an Ebay user account just report the listing (link in the upper right corner) and we'll see if they can be bothered to take it down. If they get enough complaints then maybe... the shit thing is I don't think the guy is technically breaching any guidelines which is where Ebay's been lacking for years now. Morally, the guy's a snake.
Bad luck, Shug. Really do feel your pain, mate :(
I'm in (plus Greg) - Gigantic went on sale about 3 minutes before 9 - had all 4 ticketing websites open at the same time...
Luckily Gigantic got me the tickets, but why the fuck New Order chose such a small venue is beyond me?

Depends when they're booked to fly back from South America?

I really hope so. Im also at a loss to why the small venues. I know when they played Brixton Academy in 2005, you couldnt give the tickets away (seriously i tried!) but a medium sized venue would have been better.
Things are looking up. Think my mate has a +1 on the guest list. Now, what WOULDN'T I do to be that +1......?!
