    They need to do that capatche craic after you find tickets, slows you down so much and some people have it automated. 30 minutes entering codes and no luck.

    Yeah I got two upper circle ones. I tried again to see was it sold out and it said 'no exact matches'. Does this mean it's sold out or has the site crashed?

    Also, when I got mine there was only a section for Thursday tickets. When I went back there was a section for Saturday as well. Was there always two days or were they just added?

    The 22nd date has only refreshed for me now, was on Twitter and heard he was doing the 2nd date but ticketmaster website only showed the 20th. On @ 08:50 and not even a look in! :(

    Had no electricity at home so couldn't get tickets. Had hoped it wouldn't be an instant sell out.

    That would be great but the fiasco that was ticket sales this morning will only surely be repeated. No tickets available at 9am on the dot, just a big farce! I hate Ticketmaster

    I've seen it mentioned that after 30 seconds of searching it returned none available and that was at 9:00am. Olympia is too small a venue anyway.

    I was logged on at 9 as well and no Joy. Any chance of it being moved. Ray Darcy said he might be interviewing him on his show at some stage before 12 today.

    Anyone remember when music shops would be given a certain amount each? And if you were regularly buying tickets the dude behind the counter would put a couple aside for you. You could drop in during the week and get them. It felt like you were being rewarded for supporting live music. I know it's much fairer nowadays. In particular it allows people from all over the country to grab a ticket. But my god it's a pain in the hole.

    Tickets went on presale on Wednesday morning, got myself 2 standing tickets. My sister in law got an email from Paolo's website with a link for the presale, I was able to use the link too. I'd say a lot of tickets went on Wednesday.

    Didn't manage to get tickets either via the website.

    Rang Ticketmaster who couldn't get me tickets, but did say to keep an eye out as chances are a gig for the 21st will be announced.

    I'd say people are sitting at the ready to see if the Friday is announced. I'd say it will be with how fast the other two days went. I have twitter reloading to see when/if it's announced..

    Ah Jesus lads, I'm in deep trouble. I was meant to get 2 of these for valentines day present for my wife. I didn't wake up on time. If anyone can help me out please pm me. Even if they announce the Friday gig today I wouldn't be able to order them quick enough on my phone. I feel really bad.

    Yeah, I can see that now. But it's the fact that I didn't even try. Remorse, is the word of the day.

    I tried to get tickets on Friday but didn't get them. I really wanted to see him live but I assume he will do a bigger tour once the album is out. Theses 2 dates are probably to see how popular he still is as he hasn't toured in a few years.

    No, these are his last two gigs ever. He's retiring immediately after it. I heard everyone in the audience is getting a copy of his unreleased masterpiece. He's also hanging around to meet every single person that had a ticket. Hot Press have already called it the best big of the decade. Ah well.

    I was only saying it as a lot of people on twitter/facebook seemed to think these would be the only gigs he will do.

    I dare anyone (except you) to read what I wrote and not realise that I was having a laugh. You're obviously annoyed that you didn't get a ticket and I'm just trying to lighten things up with a bit of a joke. For christ sake. Everyone needs a smiley nowadays to know when to laugh.

    Well he is part of the Electric Picnic line up now, give it a few months now with more added to the line up and loads of tickets still yet available. He would be a nice early evening act.
