Buying Tickets #emg20

[ooberfan]

I have just seen one seating chart (on the ticketmaster "get me in" site) that shows most of the lower tier (with the exception of a few sections: EL 4, 5 and 6, and WL 5, 6 and 7) as being part of the "Gen Admission/Standing" tickets for the floor.

Does anyone know if this is accurate? Is most of the lower tier going to be first come first seat? I got to the game super late this morning and the lower tier had sold out on the primary sites. Still weighing up whether we can actually make it (coming from the US and the gig is a week to the day after our wedding) ... the wife (to-be) is up for it if we can sit and have a reasonably decent view ... so I avoided the standing tickets. If some of that lower bowl is Gen Adm .. might just swing it

PLEASE BE AWARE

The link in your emails will not work till closer to the event. Probably a month. To try and stop cretins from printing off a tonne of tickets and selling them.

Well this is strange because just after I booked this morning, I viewed my order in my account and clicked the link to download the tickets and they appeared and I printed them off. I've gone back in now and it tells me to come back later. Just a glitch this morning I presume? I'll see if the tickets I get eventually are the same as the ones I printed this morning.

That will have been a glitch. Makre sure you print out new ones when the link goes live to ensure the barcode on it is correct.

Exactly right.

10/10.

Thanks, I figured as much. I'll make sure to discard the ones I've got and use the new ones when they arrive.

I know exactly how it feels to define yourself first and foremost as a Manics fan but there's no guarentee you're going to get a ticket before some dickhead tout buys them all.

I work for Gigantic which is a smaller ticket site that See Tickets (gigsandtours) and Ticketmaster. But we sell for all the same stuff.

Last week Stone Roses went on sale and both the aforementioned sites crashed due to demand whilst ours was working fine. Also, even though we had less tickets to sell, we still had them on sale when other sites had sold out.

I get no money for doing this, just want to see proper manics fans get their tickets. So it's well worth creating an account now so you're ready for when they go on sale at 09:00 tomorrow.

Good luck, and I'll see you on the front row x

Presume this is the same for Friday as well?

Gigantic won't be selling any for the rest of the tour. Make sure you're signed up to See Tickets (gigsandtours) before Friday. And log into your account before 09:30 when they go on sale x

Slightly cheaper if you get from ticketmaster and use topcashback, I find
