Just got GA tickets from ticketline!

Just bought them 5 minutes ago for Sat 18th when ticketline got another allocation, though not sure about the general admission section as they were not allocated in the same row - surely GA can not be allocated though can anyone help me out?????

I got GA 73, GA 149 and GA 152 according to the email.....

Yeah cos obviously GA aren't listed on ticketmaster so a bit worried , but have used ticketline before with no problem, recommend it in simplicity as ticketmaster was so annoying, kept having in to type the fuzzy words in each time i tried for tickets = felt like 1000s of times yesterday trying to get good seats in the presale and hundreds this morning

but they had better be real places in the o2 confused

It seems as if the correct seats will ne allocated at a later date.
It is a bit like buying a pig in a pok to me.

yeah what is so strange is that i've never had allocated GA, it doesn't actually make sense if you think about it but now i've paid over £100 for these tix.

hopefully there is just a standing GA section and the numbers they gave me (73, 149, 152) are just the ticket numbers rather than seats

will be very angry if that's the case cos i've been trying so hard to get good tickets for just one date of the tour (can only afford to go to one). thats why i kept rejecting tickets from ticketmaster (had block 107 row C as my best find), seetickets and stargreen which would not say where in the arena the tickets would be...

doubt i'll be so lucky just got this quick reply from their customer services dept:

The General Admission tickets mean that we have not received our
seating allocation from the promoters. When we get this allocation through
all tickets that were booked together will be seated together on a booked
first/closer seat basis however I am to believe that they will most
likely not be floor seats

so hope it's not a disaster, i spent too long today and yesterday on ticketmaster rejecting what most people would call good seats for this to happen!!

I've bought the same. What I noticed was IF you try buying earlier dates from ticketLINE it clearly states which block you are in, and it's pretty much UPPER TIER all the time as well as stating which row.

BUT the more recently announced later dates did not state BLOCKS, instead it just says SEATS for the block and just a number with no row for the actual seat.That led me to believe these may not be in the tiers and perhaps the better floor seats??? I've already got VIP tix, and that just has a seat number only as well.

Anyway, I'll see when(/IF) I receive the tickets...I'm sceptical though. Either way, if ticketline quietly had better tickets all along then what was all this o2/ticketmaster chore in aid of?

OK, as my scepticism got the better of me, I called up Ticketline...GA does indeed mean General Allocation, first come first served basis. Ticketline will then receive the tickets from the promoters and distribute whatever they receive. All this adds up to probably getting some serious bad seats!!!

Ho hum.
