By my last post you will have realised I caved into doing the London Hatrick. Justification? What if they play Forever and I missed it?
That's what happened to me in New Your on the 4Tour. There was a competition on CCC to win a 4Tour program for anyone who could guess what the last song of the tour was going to be. A Forest then blended into Forever & nobody won!
Can anyone explain to me why is it that at exactly 9am there absolute no seats available closer the stage? All seats available were far as hell!!! Buggeration!!! I was sooooo hoping to get a better seat for this one! And there's no doubt the minute the sales are finished these seats will be available to be sold by a stupid huge amount of money by the internet robbers out there!
At least I got tickets! London here I go again!
It's interesting that when I joined you waiting room about 08:30, on the Arena's ticket site it showed the blocks you could choose for tickets and N6 and N8 weren't available. I thought perhaps they holding back release later in the day, but they haven't been. Bit of a mystery! I got N5 which isn't too bad.
Exactly my point. It is a mystery. I didnt see N6 or N8, nor N5. Only further away from the stage ones. But then if we check other sites like viagogo, for instance, you can find seats at N8 being sold for 163 pounds. What a stupid robbery! Some strange things happening there, unfortunately.

That is still a big problem with these ticket sales. Touts & secondary sellers have programs to snap up hundreds of tickets which they'll sell on at a vast profit TO THEMSELVES. The band doesn't lose out, as they sell a ticket & make their cut anyhow. But the fans lose out to these scumbags who are (believe it or not) operating within the existing laws. Adele had tour sale recently. It was handled by songkick I think. They actually actively identified 18000 (eighteen thousand) purchases from known touts and secondary sellers & cancelled the tickets so they could re-offer them to her fans. It wasn't completely fool proof, but it did a bl00dy good job of putting the tickets back into her fans' hands at face value. The only way you can really do anything is to NOT buy the tickets on secondary sales sites & leave them with a whole load of tickets that they'll eventually either have to return or lower the price on.

As far as I know they can all rot in hell. They won´t be seeing my money, that´s for sure. None of these scumbags! Unfortunately some people still buy from them, feeding the illegal system. Aw well. It´s just not fair to the fans, that´s all. I know many of us fans here are coming from other countries, or taking a day off, and everything. As for me, Im coming from Brazil, and that means taking time off work and paying a lot on flight tickets, hotels, etc, etc. It´d be great if I could get at least a decent chance of getting a nicer seat ticket. As it would for anyone of us, for any true fan out there. We just dont even get the chance, and that pisses me off.
Can just imagine the bag check - one kazoo...check. One armrest...wtf??
I really think more kazoos are required, I have twelve but, we all need one! Practise in the pub beforehand ... .. . then it's guaranteed they won't play The Walk!

Ha they have to play The Walk - it's the law! It is also the law to play Fascination Street, and, if you are listening, Robert - LAST DANCE!!! Although trying to kazoo that one makes my ears bleed - I've tried.
Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
