I overslept and rushed downstairs at 10.15 swearing like nobody's business.

Had a few to pick from on Seetickets at 10.20. Went for Halifax on my birthday.

All the good ones were gone though. Looks like it'll be tout time for me at The Lowry.

And liverpool Phil.

And Manc Opera House.

And Paladium. ...Goodbye kidney my old friend.

I tried both Ticketmaster & The Lowry websites @ 9am (2am my time) & gave up on Ticketmaster. But I was able to get 10th row stalls at the Lowry. Now all I need is Glasgow (standing) & Whitehaven. Help anyone?

Somehow. Ticketmaster seemed to have sold out and Seetickets was out of order altogether. Whoever sorted out how the tickets were sold deserves to be kicked in the eye.

Ticketmaster opened early which probably explains why they had pretty much sold out of everything by 9am. I was lucky enough to bag two tickets for Cardiff at about 8.55am.

..so get in there quick... ...but only if you're interested, and you're NOT a tout.

just simply don't buy from them

i got 3 front row centre tickets, they would make me some lovely money...if i had no soul, but i do so i'll be sat (probably too close to moz) in tears, i did have to queue from 11:30 last night in the freezing cold to get them,
just for morrissey.

Got us 4 tickets for Grimsby without any problems on ticketmaster, should be a fantastic trip to the smallest venue I've seen him at since Brixton Academy 2002, plus the joys of four people in a tiny car blasting out Moz tunes!

I felt hysterical at how slow it was how could they possibly sell all the tickets for bonjovi, ordinary boys at the same timeas moz??
  I tried several websites unable to gain tickets till nearly ten because it kept saying sold out then on another gigs&tours website i finally managed to get passed the damn thing, its evidently CORRUPT!!.

Overall the ticket system is a disgrace & badly organised ticketmaster should never of been selling them in the first place they cannot be trusted!!!!

P.S message to any scumbag touts!! if i ever come across any of you at any moz gigs you'll be in hospital you FILTHY EVIL THICK BASTARDS!!!! EBAY CAN FUCK OFF!!!!!

Can't understand all the complaining! Stayed up from seeing my hubby off to work at 5 a.m., had some strong coffee...and at 9 I bought two tickets for the Apollo! Thought it would be more difficult, hehe.

Any idea how much the touts will be selling the tickets for outside the Palladium?!

yes - I was one of those poor fools who were stood outside Liverpol Philharmonic for 2 hours in the freezing cold - and yes we got our tickets, unlike all my mates who tried to get them via the web - very cold, but very happy!

Just live with it, they'll always be around as long as there are so many people who want to see Morrissey.

Boycotting them sounds ideal but it's not gonna happen. At least nowadays they can only buy 4 tickets at a time, I remember the same wankers selling a dozen or so on e-bay while me and my mates had backrow tickets at the MEN 45th birthday gig.

Not letting in people whose cards don't match their credit cards is no answer either, it hurts those who buy from touts (desperate fans just like us) more than the touts themselves, how about mugging touts though, and distributing the tickets to ticketless fans in return for a pint?

Yes The famous Bootle Bootle Boys planned today's ticket buying like a military operation. We had Joe queuing outside Liverpool Phil for three hours and he secured a box overlooking the stage (look out for our There Is a Light That Never Goes Out flag).
Ian secured Manc Bridgwater/ and LLandudno
I got Leeds...
So we are very happy.

I need one ticket for any Manchester venue.
Please can anyone help?
My email addy is

No touts need apply.

I managed to get standing Apollo tickets from ticketmaster.co.uk at 8.56am then good Opera House circle tickets exactly 10 minutes after that. I was already logged in with my username and on the Morrissey ticket page which I just kept refreshing every few seconds. I was at work from 8.30am (and wide awake from 4.30am following a nightmare about not getting tickets). My friend already had tickets reserved through a corporate arrangement for the Bridgewater Hall so I'm eternally grateful to him for those. I missed the Arena gig last time (and more before that from being too skint to attend) so this I think is my reward for fifteen years of loyalty. I'm so sorry for the people who didn't manage it or who will pay the touts, I've been there so many times, and it's f***in awful.

I'm sick about there being no Irish dates because i betcha he's going to do a festival date at a humongous venue and i'd much rather see him close up!

Anyone at the Dublin gig remember his gag about playing 'Whelans next time'??

Oh to be true!!

through on ticketshafter website straight away and got three standing at the Apollo. Gigsandtours.com was A LOT slower, had standing tickets selected then said they were gone, and then did then same with the Lowry, eventually got four Lowry one though.

Went and queued up at the Brdigewater Hall but by 20 past 10 all the tickets had gone - fucking LOADS of touts there, well the touts and the fucking scrotey kids buying the tickets for them. Fucking scum, hope they get cancer!

Anyone remember when Live 8 tickets appeared on eBay and people started placing false bids for millions of pounds to screw the auction up? The tickets will still be sold and the bloodsucking scumbags will still rob fans blind - but it feels good!

I fought for tickets for the Palladium last week and won - I'm going with my best mate and his ten-year-old son who is a huge fan (no thanks to his Dad and I!) My heart really goes out to all the good people who lost out to the filth.

... that's the lot...gone...

Imagine my surprise this morning when I bowled into work, sat at my desk and logged into ThicketMaster(TM) expecting many a minute of anguish, torment and a whole host eff-jeffery only to find that at 9am the Lowry gig presented herself to me legs akimbo.
A rather leisurely few minutes later and I had secured the tickets and am now set fair for a smashing old night on the Quays.
He'll cancel though or die or something beforehand as it was all rather too easy.

I've followed Mozzer for 22 years now & go to as many gigs as I can afford on each tour. Planning a trip down south to Halifax, Blackburn & Liverpool. Managed to get Blackburn & Liverpool, is there anyone out there who could help me with any spare tickets for Halifax?
gpmozzer@totalise.co.uk

Managed to get 4 for the Liverpool Phil, and nothing elsewhere.

Ebey has two pairs of tickets that are near my seats going for £155 and £165 after just 3 hours.

There are plenty of tickets being sold by for £220+ per pair by someone who was advertising before they went on sale!

Ebay and government to blame. You can't tout sports tickets, but you can for everything else. Disgrace. Feel free to kill and maim all touts.

god....got 2, be quick

Again, this begs the question that Morrissey needs to get his house in order. We were lucky in 2004 in that the festivals, the MEN gig and the Earls Court show soaked up a lot of his casual fans, leaving room at the smaller venues for more hardcore supporters.
2005 has been ridiculous - Ticketmaster was worse than useless, and it was only persevering with gigsandtours that I was able to get anything, even if it will mean a day out to Truro and Grimsby.
A pre sale allocation, to 'fan club' members or a members only lottery or even a season ticket system has to be the way forward. I am sure Morrissey wants his tickets going to the people who put him where he is today, rather than some bandit who is banging out tickets at £200 a pop on ebay.

2 for sale for £90!! Circle Seats, Second Row!!!!

Anyone interested??

I moseyed on over to the Symphony Hall Box Office at 9am and there was a queue of about 40 folk.

They opened up at 9.40am, 10 minutes early, and I got reasonable seats in the stalls.

Bloody glad about it though - I have been having nightmares all week about not getting any!! This is a really good venue, really good.

Also got 2 for Cardiff off seetickets at about 10.15am.

Meant to be in work early this morning to get some tickets for the Stirling gig. Forgot. Remembered to phone Albert Halls at 9:30 got through first time, answered within 30 seconds and bought 3 tickets for me and 2 mates. Are tickets for all venues sold out? I came away thinking that it was all blown out of proportion but then I would. Anyway, see some of you at the Stirling gig hopefully.

Go to gigsandtours or seetickets ASAP tickets for all concerts went back on sale at 14:00 - managed to get the 2 for Halifax I missed this morning

i bought 2 x halifax tickets and 2 x macnchester opera house tickets this morning on seetickets.

i have just got an e-mail from them saying that the order for the opera house has been cancelled due to "not being able to obtain payment from my card issuer"

Haven't received any e-mail about the halifax order, and their isn't a problem with my card.

I have fired off an e-mail demanding explanation from seetickets.

Has anyone else had expererince of any thing like this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

just reading all the comments about touts which I agree with completely but... just look at the relative number of tix on ebay from touts - not that many relative to the total number available. Perhaps some of you oh-so-caring-tout-hating Moz fans who've bought yourself tickets for multiple venues will share your tickets with those who have none at all. Hmmm, I doubt it somehow. The internet ticket agencies were not going slow simply cos of touts, it was also the vast number of people going around the venues buying more and more tickets for themselves. So, ticketless people, forget the touts - I suggest venting a little spleen of the selfish fans who are hogging far more tickets than the touts are.

Managed to get 4 standing tickets for Reading - has made my day, unlike last Friday's debacle getting Palladium tickets which made me miserable, well, until now. This would have been my first ever missed tour. Intimate regional venues I've been to include: the Ilford Island moshpit (Mozzer), Ipswich Gaumont circle(Smiths), and The Rialto stalls in Derry (Mozzer) all of which were stand-out, all-time life-changing events, even more so than some of the massive city gigs, eg Earl's Court. Intimate regional venues are the best.

Web site out of date. Just ordered for Sheffield. Limited amounts only for about 5 gigs

go go go go........

Guys,

If you want tickets don't piss around with the website, PHONE THEM!.I spent a good hour trying to get a ticket for liverpool off seetickets to no avail, so i tried phoning them and they sold me the LAST ticket they had!

Just some advice, it worked for me!

Just rang Gigs & Tours and was told that the whole tour is sold out. Wanted to get a Standing ticket to Portsmouth but no such luck.

Strangely, on ticketmaster, the Oxford show was the last to sell. Most everything else sold out first, before any seats even went on sale for that gig. I was really sweating it. Still, I nabbed two seats in row six. This plus two seats at the Palladium means a trip across the Atlantic.

I know it's a gamble to travel for Morrissey, but at least I'll get a vacation out of it. If he cancels, though, I'll cry my way through the Pitts River and the Tate Modern.

Absolute rubbish they were. I refreshed over and over and over and it just said nowt! It didn't budge. Phone was no good either. I quickly tried gigs and tours and eventually got them there - thank the sweet lord above. After two weeks of fretting I can finally relax! I've never been so stressed over Moz tickets on previous tours...demand is now obviously a LOT higher. No doubt to do with his rekindled affiliation with NME etc. Anyway, it was 100% worth it to clock beautiful boy once more in the flesh.

==== PLEASE HELP ME ======I tried this morning to get tickets using phone and internet. No luck. I hurriedly drove to Halifax, great, fairly short queue.
After 3 hour wait got to 7th in the queue and sold out.
Can anybody help me with 1 standing ticket. I will pay over the odds and collect.

He'll write a song about this palava for the B side of the second single

"Give the Boys the run around"

Well I wasn't optimistic having got nowhere on Seetickets or Ticketmaster, but fortunately I had a somewhat nefarious plan 'B', and my mate who has a contact at one of the agencies got me 4 pretty good tickets for Brum. The whole thing is insane.

When I last bought tickets for Moz back in 1999 I bought them weeks after they went on sale for the gig at Nottingham Rock City. Is he really that much more popular now or have touts and the ebay scummers distorted things to the point where I could forgive people for just not bothering?

have a reading hexagon ticket and want to exchange for the cheltenham gig. Anyone interested?

How easy it was then to buy tix even for the smaller venues like Perth etc. This morning was just disastrous yet again, got none for places I really wanted to go and a couple for places miles away. I doubt if I can even make them. BIG SIGH.

before 2004, he probably had a national live audience of about 20,000 people and, since YRTQ, it has become somewhere in the region of 50,000 to 100,000.
so this scale of tour would not have sold out straight way (if at all) back in the pre-2004 (good old?) days.
don't panic though. Moz loves being able to play to arenas and I'm sure he'll want to enjoy his new found UK popularity with some big shows later in the summer if not around the April/May time.
people often buy tickets for these little shows without knowing that they and their friends can definitely go so tickets from fans will inevitable appear on websites like this nearer the time. what's more, the genuine fans won't be looking to make a profit.

Maurice

Come on its the second night of the tour!!! We won't even know what songs he'll be playing (unless you look on this site!)

Would prefer to swap for Leeds or Birmingham (or Portsmouth at a push) but am willing to sell at £75 for the two.

I managed to get Blackburn so i have a spare but tried t get Liverpool on Toutmaster and no luck and seetickets did fuck all.Also then went down to the liverpool box office at 12 and they were sold out i was trying on the phone for an hour b4 and they were constanly engaged.
lavin_is@hotmail.com if u want 2 trade.

I tried to get tickets to Manchester gigs at the Lowry and Bridgewater Hall after ringing round to find out which of the Manchester venues actually had their own allocated tickets and weren't just wired up through computer to ticketmaster etc, like everyone else, and was told by those two venues they did and there would be a good chance if you turned up in person you'd get tickets, yet when I got (fairly early) to both venues, found that the queues were well scallied up with little hoody twats and girls in their best Primark gear buying 4 tickets at a time and then taking them to some cunt sat in a blue SUV (reg MJ53 HOA, if anyone should see it and want to put a brick through the windscreen). There must have been about 40 of them all round his car, which, at four tickets each means 400, so no wonder that each venue was sold out after 20 minutes and only a half to proper Morrissey fans. Yet almost equally annoying was that, when I remonstrated with the people at both venues, they told me the same thing, which was firstly that they only had a small number of tickets allocated them because it was up to the promoters themselves who organised the gigs to decide which tickets go where and they'd decided most should go to ticketmaster, and secondly, despite people being stood in the queue, some for over an hour, they were still selling their meagre allocation to people online at the same time, which means you were better off staying at home, in the warmth, and getting them on the computer.

The touts all know that people tend to panic buy for the first couple of days following the sale of tickets.. hence the 1 and 3 day listings on eBay.
If you have not got them today, just wait.
I'd much rather turn up outside every gig in the country with no ticket than pay some tosser £100 for a £32 ticket (which a lot of them have not even got). I can almost guarantee that tickets will slowly come down in price as every week passes.
In my experience, there are often tickets going for a tenner five minutes before the doors open.

Sit tight and you just might.
