I will tell you what is more of a joke…
I have been watching the tickets on ticketmaster for the 26th and there are still a few (more seating options if you use the 2 for 1 link). However I decided to phone TM so that I can try and get the best cheap seats going. They told me that they don’t have ANY allocated on their system unless I am an American Express cardholder. I said I can buy them online fine and he said they don’t have any allocation at the call centre for this date.
How can TicketMaster tell people who phone that they have zero tickets (across ALL price categories) yet they sell only 4 price cats on the standard link, about 6 price cats on the 2 for 1 link, and are trying to actually give them away on Backstage.
The good news is that my cheap seat purchase may hopefully get me an ugrade.
