Sold Out Concert Tickets!?!

I-Owe-You

Hi All,

Me & my 2 friends are desperate to see Lady Gaga (Yeah go on - laugh!) ...Our local venue being the o2 Arena in London sold out in minutes and of course on eBay the touts :mad: are charging a preposterous amount for tickets they've obviously bought just to sell on.

Does anyone know any official, perhaps not so well known sold out even agencies that may have some for sale?

I appreciate I am not going to get them at face value but paying £200 each on ebay for tickets that cost just £35 FV is what got me in a massive overdraft debt in the first place!

We've contemplated travelling to the other venue's in the UK where Gaga is playing and the tickets are sold cheaper - but unfortunately train tickets are quite a hefty price which doesnt make us any better off.

Any help would be fab!

Gaga Fan!

PS if this is the wrong Board please feel free to move

why dont you wait til nearer the time - demand will be less and there WILL be tickets on sale

Also, (but again only nearer the time of gig) try sites like scarlet mist
http://www.scarletmist.com/default.asp

This is an 'ethical' ticket site, so ticket change hands at face value plus postage.

Deffo wait til nearer date. I have never struggled to get tickets and we go to gigs every few weeks. You can also get tickets at LESS than face value. We went to watch take that and bought off ebay 2 days before for £80 for 3!!!

Not quite what you need but I think worth being aware of anyhow
swapmyticket - google it, apparently I cant post links.

i'd second the above recommendation, scarlet mist is well worth checking regularly.

if your in or near london, your first port of call should be stargreen, they may not have any right now but keep checking the box office as late release or returned tickets are more than likely

These concerts 'never' sell out. Tickets always become available. If you are willing to wait until nearer the time, good tickets always appear, I have got front row (from Ticketmaster) for many big gigs (Kylie, Madonna etc) the day before the gig. They are normally industry returns, or the set out of seating changes meaning more seats available etc

you can get cheap travel down to places too by bus on megabus or national express.co.uk I agree about waiting tho, and when bidding on ebay leave it until the last 5 minutes as if you bid before you only end up paying more anyway as people try and outbid you, whereas if you bid a minute before if possible you can get really good deals, i've been to gigs before for 99p before

moneypooh

that site has a similar name to your user ID, any connection???

I'd certainly agree about leaving it later. Ebay can have some great bargains when people can't go at the last minute. No problem getting great tickets for my DD recently for 2 JLS concerts.

Tickets for Lady Gaga's latest date go on sale at 9am tomorrow for her next leg O2, MEN and Birmingham LG. All of the venues have had presales over the last few days. THye'll be available for face value from ticketmaster, seetickets, the ticket factory (official agency for LG Birmingham). There are probably more agencies but these are the ones that have already sent me emails telling me the tickets are available tomorrow. Face value £50 - £75 I think, more than double her dates earlier this year but I've heard it was good. We had tickets for Nottingham which was postponed from 8th March to late May.
