i got in 4 block 411 @ £50 each plus bk fee which i think is ok for so far back

heard people have paid £75 for practically the same block

dont understand it at all

Me too,

I'd like to know how they work it out cause I logged on and brought my tickets at 7.00am this morning for the first Sunday he is playing and I requested £65 tickets thinking they would be in the lower tier (mid price range) and ended up with block 405!!! I was disappointed with them cause I have been to the O2 three times before and sat in almost identical seats and the seats aren't too great. I had to wait 12 minutes in a queue just to get them and didn't want to chance giving them up and trying for more and not getting any at all so I brought them!!
I cant work out how the upper tier seems to have 3 different price levels!!!

Hi jemclajess

Well done. You did really well to get some.

My sis and I and some of her friends tried desparately from 7 am this morning and came away empty handed.

She got close at times, down to 2 mins then got kicked out.

We are hoping to try again first thing on Friday and would appreciate any help/advice on the best way to stand a chance of obtaining some, ie online, via phone and if so what number etc, etc.

We went through the 02 site and at one point I was logged in for over 45 mins then it timed me out.

Unfortunately, I had to go to work just after 8.30 am but she and others tried on and off all day and she was devestated but don't want to go into why!

Please wish us luck for Friday.

Thanks

Also doesn't it seem weird that there were only a few saturday nighters offered?

I think ticketmaster are holding off until Friday.

So whats the deal - same time, same place, no code? (7am on Friday)

Hi

I thought you had posted on the previous page that you had managed to get some tickets and they would appear to be quite good ones?

I'm wondering if the seats are as good as what they look on the plan.

I think we're pretty close to MJ, so it's pretty good....i think.

Maybe someone else can confirm?

Hi there,

Seeing so many disappointed people on here who haven't managed to get one ticket never mind a seat that might not be the best view is making me feel very fortunate to get one now!!
I was lucky to be sent a pre-sale code from the Michael Jackson website last night but I'm also on O2 so I got a code from them too. I decided to go for the Michael Jackson one because I thought there would be more tickets available and while I was waiting in the 'queue' on Ticketmaster seeing my waiting time going up and down I checked the O2 one and it was coming up with 'Page not Displayed and Server Busy error' so I'm glad I picked the right one. I was really worried I would get to the end of my queue and then have a message saying that there was none left - thankfully I was lucky and I feel totally humble now for being disappointed with the seats!! I am 40 next month and Michael was my idol when I was a teenager so this is a birthday treat for me but I really would like a better view and am tempted to try 7.00 am on Friday too. I'm glad I got his 3rd date (Sunday 12th July) concert where ever I am sitting because I bet he'll be exhausted by the end of it!! Like me - he's no spring chicken any more!!!:D

Good luck everyone on Friday!!!

I really don't get how people with a presale code did not get tickets today?
I tried at dead on 7am and got my 3 tickets in about 5 minutes
Then later on about 9.30am I tried again for a guy at work but he mucked around and decided he didnt want them but still I got through within about 20 minutes.
Then even later on about 4pm another guy decided he wanted some and we got him a pair in block 104 for the last Sunday.

Im not trying to rub it in but it seemed like the system wasn't perfect but it wasn't impossible to get offered tickets quite easily.

Will codes still be required when booking tickets on Friday?

I am sharing one with my sister as still haven't received one from the Michael Jackson website so doesn't look like I will get one now.

are people aware of the 6 ticket limit per household rule? its mentioned on another forum; 6 tickets per card, per billing address, per household. Any more and they are cancelled. is this true?
