TicketM to blame for slow sales I have been trying to purchase a ticket from Ticketm***** for the past 3 months for this concert. I was planning to fly in from Cyprus as I did for the O2 concerts last year. To arrange all my flights and hotels, I first need to purchase a ticket for the show. However our friends at the above site, insist on selling the crap seats first, slowly working their way to the front. Pitch or Gold circle tickets were a non starter, just kept re-routing us to try again, and only 3 weeks before the actual gig did they start to release better seats. This is exactly what they did with O2 shows. Surely its better to sell out from the front backwards, at least that way if it aint totally sold out, then it still looks goods, no point in filling the stand at the other end and having great big gaps nearer the front.
So I never booked any tickets due to this problem, imagine how many others had the same problems. | |

Well you was lucky, I understand maybe gold circle sold out quickly but what about pitch tickets? Anything to do with the pitch was re-routed. | |

65,000 went on sale, 55,5000 were sold when it was cancelled.
Far from low ticket sales, also it most likely would of sold out by the day of the concert | |
