    I've been buying tickets on ticketmaster.ie for years and years, I've never come across this before. Something strange going on. There's obviously an error, surely?

    same never had a problem ever before buying tickets espically for more popular artists, i think as the page to buy keeps changing look wise, with those J type tickets and american express maybe they are still fixing the problem and standing will work soon???

    They dont care were people are in the arena. They make the same amount of money as the tickets at the back section are the same price as standing.

    It must be a flaw in the system.

    I'm so annoyed by this. I've been on since 9 trying to book. There was 2 tickets on Block D. They were really good seats, so I went in and accepted them. It then brought me to my credit card details etc, but when I went to choose a credit card (in my case it is a visa), but only american express is listed - what is this about. Did you have to only use american express before you can book this concert.
    I've never had that problem before, I've always used my visa to book. I'm mad as hell.

    I know, something is not right! Going out now, I'll go to a ticketmaster outlet & at least be able to talk to someone directly. Fingers crossed.

    I just noticed on the site that this american express should have been taken off yesterday and everyone else could buy them after this. They obviously didn't take this off. I was really looking forward to this concert.

    In fairness lads, to those of you admitting defeat: Nobody has bought a standing ticket... ergo, they are all still available.... It's just a case of playing the waiting game. Major f-up has gone on.

    There's no way she sold out in 30 seconds. All the errors this morning.... going on sale 15 minutes late, and they're still offering american express only tickets, even though it says that ended yesterday. And I've checked the net and not come across a single person who got a standing ticket. A bit odd for a concert that sold out in 30 seconds, no?

    who said they sold out in 30 seconds?

    It's now saying there isn't a single ticket left. Not even one single seat. So exactly the right amount of people in the right amount of groups booked the right amount of seats beside each other? Katy Perry entirely selling out in half an hour? Kylie, Britney and Usher weren't even able to sell out. Okay I'm bored now. Will check again later.

    So what now - are we all supposed to sit in front on our computers until they decide to remove the american express. It looks a bit like that.

    The concert isn't sold out. You can go in and buy tickets as an american express customer and the seats are still available. I tried this myself but naturally I can't finish the booking, but there are still seats available, so she is definetly not sold out.

    Yeah you're right, I just tried the American express route there, got standing tickets and had to stop at purchasing. So there are definitely standing tickets available, even though that presale was supposed to end yesterday at 12pm.

    I think it's just a matter of waiting now. I hope they change the site soon enough. I don't want to be stuck at the computer all day, but at the same time I really want to see Katy in concert.

    It is sold out. I went up to the local ticketmaster outlet and they said that Katy only had a very small area allocated to standing and therefore they sold out in a matter of seconds, so all the people looking for standing tickets would have given up and gone for seating...which sold out a few minutes later. makes sense.

    No im sorry but 14000 people have not bought tickets already. The standing section in the O2 is massive and the seats can only come down so far. Ive been there several time and if Green Day couldnt sell this place out Katy Perry cant.

    But... What? Did you not just see how many people have just said standing tickets are still available? So that's not the issue. They are on sale.

    The issue is that the only payment method being offered on the ticketmaster site is American Express.

    Waiting game!

    I didnt think it was going to sell out last night and I still dont think its going to sell out now. Im going to just book them tomorrow and I imagine a lot of people have given up. If you check your computer every two hours youll be sorted.

    they're keeping a certain amount of tickets for american express cardholders. if they don't sell out, those tickets will eventually become available days before the event. Katy perry is far more popular than greenday, and this is her first time here. She appeals to a very general audience, unlike greenday, she's in the charts every week therefore a lot more interest would be generated in her concert.
