Back in the day, it was so much easier to get tickets then greedy ticket websites got involved and it all went tits up.
We used to sit outside venues for the ticket office to open to get front row seats.
I have no tips except patience and multiple places to open the website on and refresh until you get in the queue. I will only have my phone and work laptop as I'll be in the office.
Yep, I remember those days or just hanging on the phone until you got through.

We did the multiple tabs for Coldplay and failed, but will try again this time.

Along with the greed of the ticket sites, it doesn't help the professional ticket buyers who swoop in nabbing loads of tickets just to sell on at astronomical prices

Going on Sunday with my mum. Absolute terrified of the standing and pushing is it so bad ? How does it with trying to get close to the front do we just work our way or is it first come basis
 
Just checked the ⫩ store and it now says the programme is sold out. I really hope I get mine. I’ll be so disappointed if I don’t. I have a programme from every tour! If I’d have known it would be this much hassle I would have just bought it when I was there and sucked up the awkwardness of what to do with it whilst watching them 😞

I going on the 27th, v excited, I wanted to see it the first time round but couldn't.
I first saw them at The Mall, Stockton on a nightclub tour in 1991!
I remember them coming to Stockton, I was only 9 so far too young to go🤣 I had to wait till 1993 to see them and I've been to every tour since, except the 1995 one. We go on 1st July and I can't wait! Circus was my fave tour by a long way❤

Incase anyone here fancies the London show tonight I'm selling my tickets for £40 each (transfer via Ticketmaster). I was taking my Mum but she's too worried about the heat to relax and enjoy it. I'm gutted, I saw the circus back in the day and was looking forward to seeing it again!!!

Reviews seem to be all really positive. Delighted for them. I saw their last tour in Cork and it wasn't great but the last Circus tour was incredible. Not expecting this to be as good as back then of course but really looking forward to it. I miss Jason 😢

My first concert was in 1993, I was 11 and paid £15 for tickets on 4th row from the front. I didn't really know who they were, but my cousin was a massive fan and my auntie rang up and got tickets for us. They weren't different prices back then and you didn't get a choice of where to sit... We were just lucky that my auntie got through the phone lines early on!
Those were the good old days - 1994 was my first - I was kind of near the B stage so wet my pants when they did the Beatles medley. Looking back I wasn’t kind of near at all - could just about make out Robbie’s shaved head 😂

Actually I saw a clip from Heart radio today and despite being the oldest I think Howard has aged the best out of all of them. He looks well for almost 58.
Does anyone else remember them fibbing about their ages? My friend and I 100% remember it coming out in the papers that Mark had claimed to be born in 74 like Robbie but was actually two years older. We have tried looking it up but can't find anything online. I'm pretty sure Howard knocked a year or two off as well coming to think of it as my aunt fancied him rotten and joked she didn't feel too bad about it even though she was only a few years older.

I just looked at all the stadium layouts & looks like Nottingham is only place where stage is on the longer side. I actually prefer that as all the seats are closer to it
