I take my daughter out to london for the day with hubby. as all she has seen is us sitting at the comp doing the TM ting.. and what happens TM f***ing put tickets out for the 21st.. on a sat at 6.30...What do they do look at my house see the car gone. they say ha ha they are out now lets release some we was thinking of havein dinner at the Dorchester

Yeah I hate them too. They put tickets on sale whenever I leave my work desk and go to pointless but compulsory meetings.

tell me about it it the one site that i have been watching for tickets and the only time i dont look on there .....

Do you think they get commision for the number of hits on the site...

There will be more on sale at some time - probably 3am!

I think they still have loads for sale.. they will do the same as they have every night he has played and put them on at the last min...we went on the 6th and they said it was sold out. the row in front of us was empty!!and that was blk 102...

and the other thing is to convince the wife into letting me go!!!

I was the same as your wife.. hubby was getting the tickets. going on about prince all the time. I was taking the pi** then I went on the 1st night. now its me thats wants to go all the time.. eating huble pie.. we have been 7 times now. so Take the wife with you.

Its not actually TM who decide when they are released it is AEG.

If you are a promoter and you use TM you have access into the back end of their system to select which tickets you want to release and when.

So when you are saying you hate TM you actually mean you hate TM/AEG/the ticket selling process.

I have to say i love the process as it means you can always pick up great seats on late availability

thats true when you have the time to sit on the comp.. I am a nurse and still trying to get the tics for 21st.. I am at the nurses station and always looking for tics..when a patient wants something i run.. then back to the comp..I need the wheels that the twins had on the 1st night..

Yeah I like that tout busting aspect of the process very much. I just hate that I have usually just left the computer when they release them.

I think it's in their mission statement "...our aim is to ensure our world domination and so that the people will truly hate one company and not a multitude, one name in their dying breath should be heard above all others, that name will be Ticketmaster'

Obviously I'm paraphrasing

during normal sales the promotor would release tickets, but sometimes they get cancelations etc so the ticket agents put those tickets onsale asap to clear them. so if someone is caught with a camera and banned, your other show tickets are cancelled for other performances for example, so it could be a mix of those tickets as well as unsold vip tickets being released slowly. they also do this to try and prevent scalpers taking advantage
