    Can't get through to Usher or TicketsScotland on phone. TS website finaly loads, but no booking options against Billy's name.

    I guess the online orders took care of what's left. Really really not happy. Wasted all morning yesterday and the entire day today on this.

    Please dont shoot me down everyone, as I was one of the people that bought tickets on Sunday. I only bought 2, for me and my wife, so I am not a tout. I also queued in Perth for well over 3 hours trying to get tickets, only to be told that they had sold out, just as I was about to get to the ticket desk. If I had been 30 seconds earlier I would have got tickets then :(

    I am now unsure if I am going to get tickets or not, does anyone know if they will get cancelled or not? I had a look early on Monday morning to see how many tickets were left. All the stalls seats apart from one was sold on Saturday, with some seats in the upper parts of the Hall still free. Also on the Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday it looked like 2/3 of the stalls had been sold with the upper areas partially taken. It just seems that so many tickets had already gone, yet tickets are still being sold at this moment, so have they re-sold my tickets? I will check my credit card account tonight to see if the money was taken, if it has been does that mean I will get the tickets? What a total mess this is!!!!!!

    Have you tried calling Ripping? Maybe they could hold a couple back for you for an hour or so?

    they only do over the counter i believe, they were selling yesterday but i thought they sold out, not sure how they got more.

    Updated message on Usher Hall website:

    Tickets for Billy Connolly can now be booked through other local agents:
    Tickets Scotland
    Online: www. tickets-scotland.com
    Phone: 0131 220 3234
    Counter:127 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3DT
    Ripping
    Counter:91 South Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1HN
    Of course you can still book on the phone via the Usher Hall on 0131 228 1155. Lines are currently open 9am-6pm.

    Just come on to praise you to the high heavens. Been calling since 10am yday and been on the forum for updates. Was 4th in the queue at Ripping on Monday when they sold out. Just popped down to Ticket Scotland on Rose Street and they have plenty. Managed to get 10 tickets for the Saturday night, ok they're upper circle but I'm not being picky!

    Thanks, and thanks to everyone for keeping us going. I was going to pack it in at 11 this morning!

    Get yourself down to Ticket Scotland or Ripping if you can get there!

    Good luck!
