Its completely unpredictable. Ive seen them as early as 10am and as late as 11.20pm.

On the day of the gig have seen front row A3 tickets at 6.20pm offloaded.

So basically its a refresh job!!

TM removes the event from its website at 6pm so how could they release A3 row a then? I usually find the best seats come on sale on the day of the event between 3-5pm

I'm also curious when they will remove the "New Dates just added" (for Aug 24...)

I went down to the O2 today as one of my mates decided to come to London from abroad and I been telling her how great the shows have been and she asked if we could go on Thursday before she goes home on Friday. Anyway I ask the young lady the question that she has probably been asked a thousand times this week. Do you by any chance have any tickets for the 21st September??? The young lady smirks at me and says nope. I reply look I know you lot are holding on to a whole heap of tickets and alot of people want them when the heck you lot gonna release them??? She smirks at me again (lucky for her I am a peaceful soul) and says not until the day! What the hell kinda business is that? It's not fair on all those that have to work and can not be on TM all day or who can not get to the O2 to queue for potential nosebleed tickets. I mean if they were sold out fair enough but to blatently hold on to tickets is disgraceful to say the least.
That's my mini rant over with but if you saw the way girlie smirked at me you would have wanted to slap her, does she not know this is serious business and not a joke and that there are thousands on people continuously on the net trying to get the hottest tickets of the year??? I think she was lying and they will be released earlier than on the day oh well back to stalking the TM site..

It's ridiculous. It makes no business sense either - there is demand, so sell them.

The only sensible reason is returns from ticket agencies. But I can't believe they haven't sold them all too.

There aren't all that many still left. It'll be emergency places (e.g. in case of an accidental double booking for the same seat), any last minute VIPs wanting to go (yes, that's unfair but it's always the way with celebrities and their privileges), and what we've found a lot of the time so far with Gold Circle/VIP packages being unsold by TM and various other agencies.
