Good tip, I did this but then freaked out that I might have put the card number in wrong and paid via paypal instead.

I also think you should NEVER trust the timer. Always get on to the ticket page and refresh like crazy.

I hope you manage to find tickets (or there are more dates added). Nearer to the time phone the venue every day, sometimes they do refund/exchange the odd ticket.
i had the same problem with Seetickets when getting Oasis tickets years ago,they told me my sale never went through so bought from ticketsoup then got around 10 emails all saying i had bought 2 tickets from Seetickets.
The site is a joke.

well ticketmaster usually does and thats how i get mine
Yeah I refreshed at a minute to 9 and they were there. I faffed a bit thinking I might add another date, decided to just get these and just pay another delivery fee (not the end of the world). Go back to get another and they all gone. Maybe the systems are just overloaded?

Friend was using this one for his London tickets. I just checked and still 1 available https://www.stargreen.com/manic-stre...rs-19846.html/

I was there early and still couldn't get tickets for Manchester or London.

I panicked and bought one for Glasgow. I live in Bedford! I'm still fucking going!

Looking at how quickly these ones are going, it's a safe bet. If not additional venues, extra dates certainly.

Anyway, dead happy for those of us that got tickets, gutted for those who didn't. As for the touts, may they slowly bleed to death by papercuts inflicted by the tickets they've snatched from legit fans and people who genuinely wanted to attend these gigs. I don't use the C-word lightly, but it definitely applies to touts.

Just finished booking the hotel & train, it's right around what I expected this trip to come to. Maybe I shouldn't, still being on the dole, but I keep money back for shit like this.

Some more just appeared for Manchester dates... got them.
Keep refreshing gigsandtours and trying the different dates. It kept changing, allowing me to select 1, 2 or 4 tickets. Then none. Then 2....
Lesson? Keep at it!

yes, keep trying for a bit! sometimes payments bounce back, or orders get cancelled if someone ordered more than allowed! So sorry for those who missed out.
I got what I wanted, 4 tickets for the final London show for myself and my mates coming from Sweden for the occasion. Over the moon!
