OK. I can get four tickets in the presale for Wembley. (I just logged into ticket master to check I still have an account etc) they are allowing up to six in the general sale. I just got my Pre-Sale code this morning. oh golly getting ticket stress already!! Tomorrow is the sale day here Dustin.. OK calm down. LOL I am at work now, but needed to duck in here and get all the details! So, WHO Needs tickets, Prissie, I can get one for you. I need two, Hubby is coming. So there is a spare place for anyone who wants me to try for them. Any dates you don't want? I would prefer Saturday, but Friday will work too. Tuesday is less easy, but hey, I'll take anything! I will probably only do one date this time, I am not getting any younger and queuing for hours and hours is not getting any easier! But I would like to be on the floor at the front (of course :(). and if we can all be together for this, I would LOVE it. I miss people! Actually do you think they will allow us to queue? Covid restrictions and all that? I hope so! Mind you by August, hopefully things will be back to normal...ish. I can also try in the General sale on Friday for anyone else who needs tickets. just let me know. I know this is important. Just an aside. I remember the very first ticket sale I ever did.. in 2010 (I think!) It was for the O2 arena, and I was at work (in the office not at home like now), and in my terror/excitement I managed to spill an entire mug of coffee all over my desk DURING the wait!! I nearly died! Racing to the office kitchen, trying to mop up, heart pounding trying to stay calm, whilst also trying to not look (to my colleagues as if I was in the throws of heartfailure!) LOL! It was hilarious in retrospect, but at the time I nearly died.. LOL. But I got tickets, then had to go back into the kitchen and jump up and down because at that time nobody knew of my Coldplay obsession, so I had nobody to tell! Crazy. I took my son Oliver to that gig, it was his first gig, he was, 12.. EDIT. CONGRATULATIONS Dustin!!! yay!

It was stressful but we managed to get standing tickets for all of us for both Frankfurt shows. We even have 3 or 4 spare ones for the Sunday if anyone needs them.
@row: it would be great if you could get me ticket for Wembley! I want to go to at least two dates, maybe all three, so I will take any date. I can also try on Friday wih the general sale but I also need to get tickets for Thalia and me for Brussels on Friday and they do not have a presale. But I think Brussel General sale opens an hour earlier than Wembley on Friday?

Oh and an advice: as I had a work meeting I could not buy at the start of the presale. We had 4 tickets for the Saturday but needed some more - it was much easier to get tickets for Sunday as Saturday is probably the day that everyone wants to go. But after my meeting was over I managed to first secure a single ticket and later a second one - whereas I first tried to buy 2 or 4 at once which did not work. The single tickets are the one that get back into the pool when people do not confirm their order. This of course means double postage but at least we got the tickets. (ticketmaster does not have an e-ticket option for Germany :( ) So if you need 4 tickets and cannot get them try to buy each ticket separately one after the other. Though this might not work with the presale code.

I'm only trying for one date too. Just can't afford to do more, and my whole family want to come so that will be pretty expensive. Will be sitting down as I'm bringing my youngest, and I'm also suffering with a bit of arthritis these days 😞. Will hopefully get to see some of you there though 🤗💕.

OMG I just got tickets to the Washington DC show but I got fleeced by Ticketmaster's ridiculous "Platinum" ticket sales. I am kind of sick right now about how much I paid for my tickets. I got click happy after my experience with the verified pre-sale for the Seattle show. I should have slowed down and took more time to shop around, but I was just scared to not take the first good ones they offered since I ended up with less than stellar seats for Seattle. Now to break it to the husband. Yikes.

Well...the good news is I got very good seats. Since floor is now GA, I wanted to be in certain sections of the lowest levels of the stadium. It was not more than I was willing to pay, but I paid double what I could have gotten them for if I'd been paying better attention and not felt so rushed. :-( That's on me, though. I just got too anxious. I could go in right now and pick two seats for a great price and try to sell the others for what I paid for them, but I'm scared to do that because then I'm potentially out even more money.

This whole thing is a nightmare isn't it, we all know that lots of people who are not dedicated to this band will secure tickets and it never seems fair My daughter is doing the buying (hopefully) for me tomorrow, but both my girls and my daughters partner want to go so unfortunately we won't have any spare We're going for seats as well, I can't be queueing for hours, I just want my seat to breathe in the atmosphere I'm wishing all the luck in the World for those trying tomorrow X just want to add that the first 5 digits of my code are remarkably like a certain singers son's name, I'm taking it as a good luck omen, but this time tomorrow I could be proven sadly wrong, lets see

Good luck to you all! My advice would be to try out queuing not only by using the computer but also by using the mobile phone at the same time. I got my ticket using my mobile phone and it worked surprisingly well.
