    Tickets are on general sale 9am tomorrow. Does anyone know if they'll be available online at that time, or is it first come first served from box office only?
    Cheers

    They *should* be online.

    I might be wrong. But I can't think of a reason why they'd not be.

    well that was pathetic, it let me on at five to 9 but couldn't purchase any. rang the club and got put through to some foreign fella who had nothing to do with the club, didn't even know what I was ringing for. I've never experienced this before usually its just someone working in the box office who answers the phone.

    I have my ticket sorted like but the lads I tried booking for are going to miss out. usually it runs smoothly when I book tickets but I don't like this ticketmaster rubbish.

    Managed to log on at 8.50 and purchase online. Really easy process. However you could argue that they shouldn't have been on sale until 9, as advertised.

    That is the problem, there maybe guys who went to the ticket office in person, they don't open whilst 9 do they? so them poor sods would probably have been turned away because ticket master opened the sale 10 minutes early.

    My dad got them from box office in the end. He queued from 8.30 and there were a handful of people in the queue. The issues with online booking (mentioned above) are the reason why I got my dad to get them as backup. I don't know how it works with numbers and people physically in the queue versus an online queue, but if they turn people away at box office due to ticketmaster opening sales early, that's out of order imo. Hope everyone manages to get one

    It's a strange one. Said both online and physical sales were available from 9 and I'm sure before they haven't allowed you to buy online before 9 either. So not sure what happened.

    A physical queue is always going to lose out to an online queue. The latter can serve far more people per 60 seconds. It sounds as if the online queue were also given 10 minutes start.

    Yeah that's why I opt for online. Although I am surprised that they started the online sales early, I actually completed my purchase before 9. Not that I am complaining personally, but can see how that would annoy others.
