Mad Rush For Tickets

[Grayson]

Here I am today sitting on my computer waiting for 10am to arrive so I can try and snap up 2 tickets to Muse at the Royal Albert Hall. I'm so nervous that I'll miss out. Hate waiting.

Some are on eBay already (must be very confident of getting them) for over £150! So if I miss out I've got no chance I'm sure.

What mad rush for tickets have you all experienced? Any tales?

Speaking of tales - I MUST keep away from keyboard shortcuts that'll refresh or change webpage. Ahhh :minger:

Ricky Gervais, live - Sold out in seconds no chance.
The Verve at Brixton Academy (in their heyday) - my spawny ex got through!
Snow Patrol - acoustic gig in Islington... no chance.

There's a bloke on our intranet here who makes a good living buying tickets in bulk and then selling them on Ebay at a huge profit. It makes me mad and should be banned!

Oasis tickets for Knebworth.
In the days before online booking.
Spent best part of a Saturday morning trying to get through, by the time I did I could only get Sunday tickets, all my mates were going Saturday, so had to put an ad in local paper & find someone who wanted to swap Sat for Sun tickets, did it eventually!

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got two tickets in Block H of the stalls!!

What relief!! That was so incredibly hard, 2 of the 3 sites that sold them went down before 10am, ticketmaster was the last hope and I must have got bloody lucky! All tickets released so far are gone. My heart is still pumping now!

:D :D :D :D

well in Musey, they should sound aweomse at the Uncle Albert Hall.

 

[Pubey]

yep the albert hall is massively underrated for 'rock' gigs... saw mogwai there and it was unbelievably loud!

mad rushes... last few glastos, radiohead tickets pretty much all the time, the arcade fire sold out in 20mins, missed out on the cure when they did some small venues (sold out in 8mins apparently)

I sign up to Aloud.com's mailing, which told me Thursday night and gave me a password which I used when I got lucky after loads of tries. I already knew about it thought as I regularly go on www.muselive.com so found out from there a week ago.


On another note, we're at home to Northampton this day. Will I be able to go to both?

Northampton - London on the train is about an hour, so yeah. Easily.

 

[Grayson]

We're at home MK :p I'm unsure how long it takes to get to RAH on the tube.

I saw Muse at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2006. Was okay, but not great.

 

[MissWestStand]

if you leave game just before the rush of people, get c2c train I think it would be ok depending on start time. HOWEVER c2c been doing loads of engineer works last few weekends and they have more expected soon. If they are that weekend, then you would be stuck on replacement bus which would mean you wouldnt get there in time for the encore!!

Tsk, you think he would know that, having been to the Cobblers game in November! :fury:

I was golden circle at Wembley last year, and they rocked! I have never ached so much from all the jumping around and generally going mad. Brilliant band!
