  • Payment on the Amex presale defaults to an Amex card - it doesn't accept any other (I tried!).

    I'm sure they will be releasing more dates, there is only 1000 tickets left for manchester now they are on pre sale which means come friday it will be sold out on the day its on sale!

    I would love to go, but honeslty £75+ for half decent seats??? I am not bothered anymore...

    I know, l don't know how some of these artists can demand that much money, they do have poorer fans too! :mad:


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I would love to see her but prices are steep. The blame for this is with the management company, they set the prices.
  • YOu guys may be really disappointed... her voice is not a patch of what it used to be. Check youtube ... she can barely hold a tune when singing one song ... whats it gonna be like with a whole tour? And its not like she can mime like MJ, who could at least dance to entertain us.

    I was lucky enough to see her back in the day...she made the hairs on my arms stand on end, amazing. If she is still half as good now it will be a great concert, I hope it is.
  • Not only are the tickets a rip-off but there is also a £10.75 service charge per ticket! For something done entirely electronically that is extortionate.

    Incidently, they only ever release one or two dates initially so they can have headlines such as 'Whitney sells out in 2 seconds'. It builds publicity so when they release more dates they sell even more tickets.

    I have been to the O2 three times now (Prince, Madonna and Kylie, also had Jacko) and despite buying on the morning of release I have never managed to get any closer to the stage than 3 rows from the very back. I have no idea how people manage to get near the front for these concerts.

    It's because they are all bought up before general release. Members of Fan sites and 02 priority and Amex priority etc. The higher you Amex the better seats you can get. I have a Plat Amex and got front row seats.
