question about ticketmaster

Hi, anyone that got tickets from ticketmaster by chance recently, can you tell me if when you searched it said "find tickets" beside the date you were looking at or did you still try on dates/shows that showed currently not on sale/sold out?

many thanks
went on the 10 aug fantantastic

I have found that if you keep trying in the morning - around 11am usually, at some point when you press 'find tickets' it will come up with a page that says 'Sorry, unable to deal with your request. Please try again later' or something similar. It will be AFTER this appears, ususally around 1/2 hour later, that fresh tickets are available. It seems that this is when they update their database. While this is happening the whole of the prince list is inactive.

Its a mixed bag really. If I remember correctly (and I was in a tizzy at the time) I got my tix for 21/9 on ticketmaster when it said "Tickets not on sale"...that was at 11:30 a few weeks back.

But on the other hand it oftens says "find tikcets" and then reveals that there arent any.

i've phoned Ticketmaster and they say its a computer glich caused by people repeatedly accessing the page.

What I can tell you is that, according to Ticketmaster:

21/9 show is totally sold out but soemtime stickets coem up when its revealed people have ordered over ther 6 quota or when cards are refused


The 21/9 Aftershow is Sold Out and unlike any other night tickets will NOT be available at the box office of Indigo2 as, for this night only, Ticketmaster are handling the entire allocation. Again tix might come up if greedy people have ordered too many

This part is inaccurate as I bought tickets for the last aftershow from Seetickets, but those have been long gone. But who knows, some more may pop up. biggrin
