Pre-sale for Scottish dates on Ticketmaster (Thurs., 9am)
posted by davidt on Tuesday January 24 2006, @10:00AM

Having checked the ticketmaster.co.uk site this morning - it is listing a pre-sale for this Thursday. It only seems to be for the Scotland gigs at the moment, but this could be an idea after last Friday's fiasco.

I am a bit puzzled however, as I am on every mailing list going, and I have not been sent any details.
Any info would be appreciated! Good luck everyone!!

If you can get pre-sale tickets so can the touts (Score:2, Interesting)
The Barenaked Ladies have a much better solution than most other bands.

You join the fan club for free, then when tickets go on sale, only fan club members can buy the good seats (less the special allocation for radio stations and all that). Then you have to show ID the night of the concert to pick up your tickets.

This would require effort on behalf of Morrissey and the tour promoter. Expect it to never happen.

What is the point (Score:1)
In all these sites I keep signing up to if the benefit of me signing up to them is nil? I have had no emails whatsoever from either true-to-you, morrissey music or ringleader of the tourmenters about any tour dates never mind any pre-sales.

Waste of bloody time.

    9 O'Clock on a weekday morning again! Don't these perverts understand that some of us have to work for a living and for most of us this work begins sometime around (Yes, you've guessed it) 9 O'Clock on a weekday morning!

    Why not sell the tickets on a Saturday, like the Mnchester Arena gig in 2004.
    Contrary to rumours, Morrissey fans aren't all students and long-term recipients of "the Dole".

    I for one can't afford to lose another day's pay, especially when I can't even be guaranteed a ticket.

    As far as I'm concerned this is yet another example of Morrissey's careless and dismissive attitude toward his fanbase!

    Nevermind though,Morrisey will still be able to boast in interviews that this-or-that gig sold out in record time. Despite the fact that this was mainly due to bulk-buying by touts.

    Us "ordinary people" will just have to take our chances with aforementioned touts!

    Thanks alot Morrissey (again!).

    This doesn't register! (Score:1)
    I've tried three times to register with this lot, and on every occasion it's been rejected. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm beginning to not care whether I get tickets either tomorrow or Friday, as this is all a huge pain in the arse. If I don't go it'll be the first time since 1986 I've missed his tour, and to add to the irony it's the first time he's ever played in my home town.

    Where is the best place to get tickets? (Score:1)
    As I don't live in the UK and can't go and queue at a booking office to get tickets for the venue I want to go to has anybody got any suggestions as to which website is the best to get tickets from? Ticketmaster or is there another seller?

    I don't want to go to Scotland by the way.

    I'm looking for tickets at the sage, gateshead.. and I'm probably going to queue up outside the venue. Just wondering, about what time would be best? I usually buy all of my tickets online but I don't want to risk it this time. Thanks for any help.

      On the tour section of this website there is a link to ebay for tickets for the already sold out London Gigs - Why?

      Don't encourage the touts and they'll get the message.

          For those without tickets... I spoke to Ticketmaster and they are releasing the vast majority of the tickets for sale online and via phone, tomorrow at 9am along with the rest of the country. They assured me that the presale tickets were only a tiny percentage of the avaliable tickets. Thank f--k for that! :-)

            Just seen on the Scottish presale people can buy up to 8 tickets as opposed to 4 with the Palladium dates! Surely this means tommorow's situation with be even worse than last week with touts being able to get even more tickets?!
