Take That tickets - how can I get them?

Hi everyone

I 'missed the boat' with the Take That tickets. Think I was on holiday when they went on sale.

Anyway, I'd really like to get two seats (not standing) for my wife for Manchester (think it's the Old Trafford cricket ground) for either the Saturday or Sunday (think the show starts at 16.00 making a weekday rather difficult for us).

We are based in S. Cumbria so wouldn't rule out other locations such as Glasgow, Sunderland and Coventry (but they're less ideal and they would have to be Sat/Sun dates again).

Any suggestions on how I could get hold of tickets? Bit wary of eBay as I hear so many people get scammed buying tickets on there and eBay only cover you for purchases made in the last 30 or 60 days (I forget)... by the time of the concert, that period has well and truly lapsed.

Would really appreciate advice.

Thanks.

  • when there are no tickets left on Ticketmaster you get referred to http://www.getmein.com/ which is part of the same company but you can buy/sell tickets. I hate this industry, where people buy tickets purely to resell at a higher price.

    So Get Me In is safe, but not cheap *sob*

    Thanks... looks like over £200 *per ticket* for seats via that site on either the Saturday or Sunday. :(

    See concerns expressed in my original post. There's loads for sale, but there's loads of scammers too. Plus they rip you off. I don't mind paying a bit extra, but when they're 3 or 4 times the price, I don't think it's right to entertain it.
  • Hi all - first post.

    Try scarletmist.com for tix. Its for fans to sell tix at face value. It's worth a shot. HTH.
