Yeah I would prefer toutless over anywhere else. I don't trust gumtree but in fairness the guy offered to log into his ticketmaster account in front of me and print the tickets for me.

From the U2 ticket thread, that means nothing. They can easily re-print them and go in the door first.

Similarly if they're paper tickets, it's been known that people will sell you the tickets, claim they never arrived to Ticketmaster who'll print new tickets and invalidate yours.

Second hand market is terrible. Unfortunately its only Seatwave and Viagogo that you can at least have a guarantee.

The whole ticket market is a shambles.

I know someone who was offered tickets to a gig which were genuine tickets, got in no bother but when got to seats, security escorted them out of the gig to security office as they had been bought with a stolen credit card

I would too. But a lot of these guys will sell you hard tickets, take the cash. Call Ticketmaster and say they were stolen or lost, get new tickets and resell them again. Then they ditch the burner phone and they're in the ether.

If you're buying high value tickets, meet them at their house. If they're happy to take a serious amount of cash, they should be happy to provide that level of comfort.

God, how embarrassed and awkward would that be. Poor people.

that's where I was offered 250 ones only Call me Al. Would someone pay 250 for a concert?

This morning I read the earlier post from someone who'd bought 2 VIP tickets for Glasgow. I texted my better half who was trying for tickets and said 'Don't consider the VIP tickets!'. I said 'Go to €121 max - I think it's worth it for this one occasion, but if you think that's too much and don't want to go, I don't mind going on my own'.

I'm afraid 'standing' tickets are just not an option for me.

He replied at 9.15 saying there was good and bad news - good news, he got a ticket, bad news - the only options available on the screen for him were standing or VIP - and he got one VIP for me. I was sort of mortified, but I'm glad he did, now. I'm a big bargain-hunter and not the type to splash out, but I'd always imagined that to see Adele I'd have to go to the UK - and pay for flights and accommodation.

I've listened to Adele so much on Youtube - maybe it's payback time for me now.:p

They'd be traceable handy enough through the ticket anyway, if it was followed up with TM.

That used to be a thing when they tore the stubs off but I don't think it's a thing these days with the barcode scanning system.

They are not paperless ,they are normal tickets.
Only restriction seems to be 4 per person,per address,per transaction .
They will be on sale at Ticketmaster outlets .

Hope you all get your tickets this morning. I'd say they will sell out in minutes.

cruizer101 · 04-12-2015 9:44am

Just wandered by Stephens Green about 50 people up there queueing, was half tempted to chance it, but I'm just not sure how ticketmaster work it, do they issue so many tickets to each outlet or are they taking from the same stock as online. I presume it has to be so many issued otherwise only a handful would get tickets but just not sure how many they issue, considering everyone will probably buy 4 that's 200 odd tickets. I'd say good chance you would get them but I've to be in work, ah well. fingers crossed for the lotto that is online ticket sales.

Nah it's every man/woman for himself/herself. I'm only joking

dinneenp · 04-12-2015 9:47am

I just remembered that is ticketmaster and but the Adele website! Those few minutes could have been wasted and cost me getting a ticket...

phobia2011 · 04-12-2015 9:51am

Hoping for seated tickets, would it be a mistake to be specific or should I just search any?

I am on my app & browser but not looking good, the app seems to be working a little quicker.

Exclamation Marc · 04-12-2015 10:03am

Phew, got 4 standing for Saturday

ryant1981 · 04-12-2015 10:07am

all gone it looks by 9:04

dinneenp · 04-12-2015 10:07am

Got 2 seated tickets, that's Xmas sorted!

:):):)

prettyboy81 · 04-12-2015 10:07am

Already ticketmaster trying to redirect you to Seatwave!

but1er · 04-12-2015 10:11am

Two phones two desktop and nothing!

cruizer101 · 04-12-2015 10:12am

Is there any trick to this or is it just feckin random. I'd my computer and laptop going and oddly the timer was different on both.

buckfasterer · 04-12-2015 10:12am

Went on the app as the clock turned 9 and looked for 2 standing tickets for the Saturday but all gone. Disaster. Wonder have they done the usual and sold most of the feckin tickets in the pre sale and hardly any were even available for sale this morning. Raging.
