    I can understand her selling out the Olympia in 2 mins or so but mad selling out o2 in around a 1 min. Cant remember ever hearing that happen.

    Keep trying... Think of the people that have Pc's/Browsers crashing n such, tickets that were reserved under their name under a time limit that is now expiring

    They're either with holding more tickets to put onsale again at a later date, or there were very few tickets available online to begin with. The whole thing seems weird. I don't even think Arcade Fire sold out that quickly.

    Was up and online from 8:54, refreshing until 9. Couldn't get 2 standing, then tried seating at 9:01 and none. Young, genuine fan and it's incredibly frustrating to know in 20 minutes tickets will more than likely be on gumtree for crazy price. I agree 8 tickets is excessive and takes away from the chances of genuine fans getting tickets.

    I still think its virtually impossible to sell out in 2 minutes, something not right.

    I wonder do TicketMaster have a sister site/ticket exchange similar to America where all the tickets that couldnt be bought at the normal price are suddenly available at 4x the price.

    Hopefully there may be a 2nd date as Dublin is the start of the tour. Mabey Thursday

    Just what happens unfortunatly. I had two tickets standing and all and whatever happend for that split second with Firefox page froze on the screen that tells me i have tickets and where they are in the o2 !!

    Then i got an error when clicked continue. So no idea what went on there but i guess i got to see her up really close first time she played so just way it goes.

    to be fair, they should not have allowed people to buy eight at once. It was a bit excessive.

    It's completely crazy to let people do that, I've always thought that. It's also pretty much a perfect system for touts where they can buy in bulk and put them on Ebay two minutes later for double/triple the price. Genuine fans don't have a chance against that.

    Was refreshing from 8:55 and got in at 9:01, one standing :D so nerve wracking going through all the pages with only two minutes to fill out each one. Flatmate wasn't so lucky :(

    Eight? That's ridiculous. I was lucky enough to get two pre-sale tickets on her official site Wednesday morning but the maximum you could buy there was four. It should be like that for Ticketmaster too; like I know large groups of friends might be going but eight tickets in one go is just crazy.

    Was refreashing the page from five to nine onwards, couldn't get two tickets for myself and a friend. Kinda annoyed. Haven't been to a gig in ages and would have loved to have seen her. It makes me very angry that there are touts buying loads of tickets and then trying to sell them for ridiculous prices.

    Letting 8 go in one transaction is crazy, it is really disappointing when genuine people cant get a ticket and then they show up on ebay straight away, F**king touts

    I'd be very surprised if there isn't a second date.

    Selling the o2 out in about 1min just goes to show over playing one or two of her songs on 98fm for a whole year works :pac:

    Ah I dont think it's 98fm that has pushed the demand, her music is excellent and as someone who saw her the Olympia the other year she was amazing live.
