Well i was online from 11am to 11pm yesterday trying to get tickets for Take That at the Stadium of light(sunderland) for next year! Sold out!:rolleyes:
Gonna get tickets for Kings of leon instead! anyone else had any trouble buying tickets for aband they really wanted to see.
BTW is anyone going to see Linkin Park next friday at Newcastle Metro Arena? :)
 
Apparently so many people were on the website that it just crashed, quite rare for that to happen.

Was gonna go see Linkin park, but they were pretty pants at sonisphere last year and the new album is terrible so I gave it a miss. Along with the price, £47 with fees, they're not worth that.
 
They sold over a million tickets in a day and are saying sorry:

Take That's concert promoter has apologised after fans were forced to battle major technical problems to buy tickets for the group's next tour.

Many fans spent hours trying to access ticket websites and phone lines, which buckled under "unprecedented" demand.

SJM Concerts managing director Simon Moran said a record one million tickets were sold in one day. "We coped with it in the best way possible," he said.

Ticket agency Ticketmaster also said sorry for the "frustrating delays".

Never understood why anyone would be "waiting at 8:45 on the website" - it's not like this gets you an advantage...

Seetickets worked a little better yesterday - I got sorted by 10:30. Can't believe the amount of requests they're claiming they had though!
 
well not just waiting on the website, but waiting for it as she knew there would be a rush, and with only bham having one date at first...
 
It was crazy, my sister tried for 4 hours then they added more dates and managed to get tickets, mate got some to sell on, went for £175 on ebay after cost of tickets he will make about £15 profit
 
Got 16 at 9:55 from ents24 :)

Mums friend was here to try and get 8 while I got 8. Site was so slow on our home connection so I got out my iPad and 3 MiFi and got tickets booked within 10 minutes :O 5minutes later my mums friend made progress and booked the other 8.
So mum and friends are very happy @ £60 each.

Today the site was taking people to another site which was taking the tickets (London on the Friday) to a price of £130 =o terrible how the sites can't cope

ticketmaster were on watchdog 2 weeks ago ....

if you really want tickets and can get to the venue thats your best choice my wife bought tickets for enrique and queued at the metro arena in newcastle for a few hours in the morning , they started selling the tickets 30mins before they were on the ticketmaster website so she got to choose exactly where she wanted to sit
 
got mine from ticketmaster.....take that site states this....

'Beware of Fraudulent websites. Do not get scammed. Click here for a list of the only people we have supplied tickets to. If you are being offered tickets from any other source please be aware they have not got tickets from us so we cannot vouch for their authenticity......

following sites being:
Ticketmaster
seetickets
gigsandtours
ticketline
ticketfactory

Id rather have the 4-5 hour wait then buy tickets within minutes that could prove to be a problem.
 
Ents24 were saying they are partners with ticketmaster aswell. Also apparently they were on the BBC website, and I saw them on the take that website so should be fine. Plus credit card protection!
 
Is Ents24 part of Ticketmaster or See Tickets?
No - Ents24 is an independent company, and the UK's third most popular ticketing website. We aim to help you find tickets, whatever the event, so we sometimes provide links to buy tickets from other companies such as Ticketmaster.

hope they're okay mate, sure they will be.
