I did. Registered for the no purchase necessary link last week, logged in just before 10 today and had 2 tickets for Wednesday by 10:05. Really easy!

You see? This is how you do things. You announce them and then people try. Good for them this time and happy for all the fans that got a ticket!
Advice from an old man. Put down the phones and enjoy the show.

Yeah me too. And the more I tried the more I felt I was being considered a bot.

I think on Friday I should stick to chrome (the browser developers use to test) and turn off my vpn from the start, and not use private browsing.
I was on Chrome, Firefox and my phone (Samsung Internet browser) and Firefox was the first one to come up during the refresh - in Canada and didn't use any VPN.

I'm sure the leeches will donate their profits to Warchild.

I thought that was illegal now? It was on the news last night that tickets being re-sold can only be sold for their original face value..thus putting an end to touts! I hope nobody buys from a reseller because I’m sure that’s illegal now to resell at above face value.

Bollocks. Got through, code accepted, selected number of ticket, clicked continue, went back to previous oage saying unavailable. This happened two or three times. Congratulations to all those who did get tickets.

I don’t think it’s gone through Parliament yet for voting on. Til then, it’s probably still legal alas.

How would ticket reselling even work in this case? The Electric Ballroom website was quite clear that you need to be able to provide physical photo ID to get in.

Pre sale sold out

Does anyone know roughly what % of tickets are typically put on pre-sale for concerts with this venue/promoter and how many will be left for general sale later in the week?

I assume it'll be just as much of a scrum with casuals joining. Fcvkers should be made take a Pet Test before being allowed to buy a ticket.
