Girls Aloud NOT ON TOUR NOW

[dUbrodošli]

There's standing still available for Dublin via Ticketmaster

 

[Rachey]

The screen changed but seems to be just doing the same thing

I had 2 browser windows open and did manage to eventually get in with one, but it's ridiculously frustrating. Keep trying

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

WHY AM I STILL FUCKING QUEUING AN HOUR LATER?

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

And now it's gone back to the original screen...GIVE ME FUCKING STRENGTH

 

[Rachey]

What venue are you looking for @Sheena ?

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

O2- but they're all lumped in the same queue I think...

Same! This is beyond idiotic

 

[supermassive]

We need a ticket revolution. Why can't we it be something like paying for what tier of tickets one wants before the day of a random pick/raffle, on the day of if you get randomly chosen a seat GREAT, if not then automatic refund.

 

[Rachey]

Getting these Girls Aloud tickets was far harder than the Pink tickets we got yesterday.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

If the pre-sale was a faff then I’m not looking forward to Friday

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I bet JAVINE is behind this

 

[Rachey]

Any luck yet @Sheena or @Kratz ?

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Yes - I got two tickets for Leeds (taking my sister)

 

[Christian]

I bet JAVINE is behind this

That rotten one who got the boot out of Clea (imagine being too crap for them!) has got her fingerprints all over this.

 

[PercyPig]

They sent out a new email that links to ticketmaster instead because ticketek must have been just too shit.

 

[Berly]

I got great tickets for Manchester after being in the queue/longe for nearly an hour

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

FUNNY THAT.

 

[PercyPig]

Second Glasgow date added

 

[Rachey]

FUNNY THAT.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

I’m going in a group of five so it was always going to be a faff, but randomly refreshed and managed to get some in the upper tier on the Friday in Manchester!

 

[PercyPig]

Are the days of pre-sale being 10% (or whatever) of the total allocation over then if four dates are already sold out.

 

[untilted]

Does anyone find there to always be something inherently OFF about Nicola? I can’t put a finger on it though and never have!

 

[Rachey]

Are people unhappy with the ticket prices? I've just been reading somewhere and people are complaining they're to expensive considering the cost of living crisis. I didn't think £100 was too bad

 

[COB]

It's pretty expensive, yes!

 

[Rachey]

It's pretty expensive, yes!

Because of who they are or because tickets in general are expensive?

I've not paid less than £100 for any tickets in the last few years.

It's an absolute piss take.

 

[Rachey]

Maybe I'm used to paying stupid prices, Westlife, Elton John, Madonna were all over £170.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Most gigs I go to are between £30 to £50. Most expensive I've been to was Gaga and I think she was still under £100.

If you're doing arenas, you have the volume of people that you really don't need to jack up the price. It's just greed. Do more dates rather than make it prohibitively expensive.

 

[COB]

They're also not the sort of legacy act that are performing songs from a long career with multiple record labels where there might be music rights issues and associated costs, which can also increase ticket prices.

 

[lolly]

Most gigs at the Cardiff arena go for around £40 - £50. But a lot of the big names don't go there as it's a smaller one.

 

[Rachey]

I need to find cheaper acts to see live.

 

[PercyPig]

I was quite surprised by the cost. I’ve ended up paying £100 in Leeds for tier 2 I think but I was expecting £100 to get me right up to the front tbh.

 

[COB]

My friend got my tickets, they were just over £70 each which I suppose is almost reasonable in comparison

 

[Finnland]

I've just checked and I paid £24.50 per ticket to see them at the Birmingham NIA in 2006, in quite good seats. And there were FIVE OF THEM THEN!

 

[Rachey]

We got block 14, row M I think for £100 each. I guess I assumed that was a normal price because it's what I'm used to paying. Maybe I thought GA were bigger than they are and could demand that price.

 

[PercyPig]

There does seem to quite high service fees on tickets these days. Without them £85 seems a little bit more acceptable.

Good point, I just checked

 

[lolly]

And what are those four different fees? What are they actually FOR?

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m just buying when general sale goes live but was thinking the range of £50 to £85 would be acceptable for Girls Aloud.

 

[lolly]

I was thinking of trying for Cardiff presale tomorrow, but this price chat is making me angry.
