How early do you all buy tickets??

[Savanna]

I'm assuming right as they become available online?


It seems really difficult to get good tickets, those of you that were on the barrier, did you just buy normal tickets and push to the front??? And what time do you get there in order to get up that close??


Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to do my homework so that I'm ready when my chance comes to see them Thanks for your help in advance!!



Oh and any other advice is very very welcome

I've always been quite lucky buying concert tickets, always manage to get some as soon as they come out. In terms of the barrier, it's first come first serve. We queued from maybe half 2 at the SECC. But it was bloody well worth it

[Savanna]

Ooh thanks for your input katie!!


What exactly do you mean by half 2? 2 1/2 hours?

[katie44]

Nah we started queuing at 2.30pm and doors opened at 6.30pm.

[Savanna]

Oh! Okay

[kasi18]

at the o2 i got there at like 5.45 and got right to the front and doors opened at 6.30..if i'd got there at 6.30 i still would have got right to the front

[likelyladtom]

I always arrive after doors open, and always get to the front. Not the barrier, but the front. I don't like being on the barrier anyways, you can't move.

As far as ticket sales go, over here if you don't buy on the day they go on sale, you don't get any!

[Savanna]

[Savanna]

more like if you don't buy within a few minutes!

just be careful with ebay tickets, check their feedbak etc. I brought my Brixton tickets from ebay and i had no trouble at all. But be prepared to pay well over the odds

I hated having to buy from Ebay, cuz its just fueling the touts, but i really wanted to to go that gig and nothing was gonna stop me haha

[thefreelancer]

I usually buy tickets and because Ive bought them 1-2 days after release (been lucky to get on a pre-release list to get them a day before general release a couple of times)..but most of the time i buy tickets so far in advance when it comes around to the gig i forget i have them (missed out of quite a few gigs with forgetting...!)

[Savanna]

^^ how do you get them so soon?

[Jigglytuffy™]

Savanna, just go to ticketmaster.com

And how on earth do you forget you have tickets to a show? (That's just money going down the drain.)

I won't buy tickets from ebay or sites like that. I don't trust them.

[Savanna]

Ebay is usually where you can find the good seats (fucking scalpers ) , you just have to be extra careful..


But I still want to know how you get them in advance?? We all know the fanclub is shit..

[anners]

^^the only way you can get tickets in advance is using Presale. and thats still tough dude.
its all just luck

[Jigglytuffy™]

Or just get them the day they come out like I have done.

[Savanna]

ahh yeah I see...

[Jigglytuffy™]

The one thing I hate about ticketmaster is that there is no guarantee you will get good seats, even if you are there or online at the moment they go on sale.

[Savanna]

I know :/

I guess everything is up in the air when it comes to concerts...kind of upsetting..
