Buying Tickets #emg20

Hey guys,

https://www.gigantic.com/manic-street-preachers-tickets

I know exactly how it feels to define yourself first and foremost as a Manics fan but there's no guarentee you're going to get a ticket before some dickhead tout buys them all.

I work for Gigantic which is a smaller ticket site that See Tickets (gigsandtours) and Ticketmaster. But we sell for all the same stuff.

Last week Stone Roses went on sale and both the aforementioned sites crashed due to demand whilst ours was working fine. Also, even though we had less tickets to sell, we still had them on sale when other sites had sold out.

I get no money for doing this, just want to see proper manics fans get their tickets. So it's well worth creating an account now so you're ready for when they go on sale at 09:00 tomorrow.

Good luck, and I'll see you on the front row x

Print at home?

Does your service offer the print at home option?. Ticketmaster UK messed up my tickets for the Cardiff Castle show - I never got them. If you have print at home I will definitely use yours.

Thanks for the heads up, Jimi - straight in, tickets purchased by 9:01, just wish I'd have known last week when trying to buy Roses tickets!

The promoters (SJM) decided they wanted to make this event print at home.


PLEASE BE AWARE


The link in your emails will not work till closer to the event. Probably a month. To try and stop cretins from printing off a tonne of tickets and selling them.

Possibly, I'll try and arrange it.

But even if you don't, you know you need your ticket. So just make sure you've printed it off about two days before the gig.

Anyone know how it works with the different ticket sites?

If I look on some sites they say the lower tier is sold out.

If I look at ticketmaster.co.uk there are still tickets available in the lower tier.

Just wondering if anyone knows - Jimi A do you know? It's kind of weird.

Thanks!

Well they have different allocations, I assume, so presumably means some companies have tickets left?
