    Hi when you say corporate what do you mean?

    Most likely tickets offered to sponsors, partners of the concert promoter and the venue owner.

    I am going to try and get tickets for Wembley.
    My friend want to get standing tickets but I would prefer seated. I am only 34 but really don't like the thought of standing for the whole evening and having to get there really early to get a decent spot and possibly crushed.
    Can anyone advise e.g. would it be that much more expensive to sit and would the view be much worse etc.
    Many thanks

    We have been having the same problem. Having spoken to people who went last year we're going to try for seating. They told it was awful standing, getting crushed and unable to go to the toilet. Also they mentioned with it been Summer it was unbearably hot in there amongst thousands of other bodies. Sounds like a nightmare to me.

    I went to Manchester last time and people were dropping like flies around us because of the heat and the fact you could only take 1 bottle of water in through the gates with you. You could buy more but you then lost your place. It was so bad that security were handing out cups of water over the barrier.
    We got there about 2ish so from when we got there to them finishing and getting back to the hotel we were stood for about 10 hours!!! This time we're going for seated too but £85 plus the booking fee is a lot of money :(
  • Yes by corporate i mean sponsors etc.... i understand my friend has got her's through her friends boyfriend who works at the co-operative office in manchester, assume that they have contacts with the city stadium or maybe a box, he was limited to 4 tickets though and not the 8 that we normals are allowed!

    Don't forget that the lower tiered seats are available through the general admission tickets, all reserved seated tickets are the middle and higher tiers! really annoys me that they add 50% on to the price of last year's just for the privilage of parking your bottom without having to get there at dawn!

    Good luck everyone!
  • I am going for phone and online. I am lucky enough to be on holiday this week so that makes it easier, although the last tour my co-worker and I locked our office door and had our laptops and 2 phonelines on the go! We had success quite quickly too!.

    I have loved TT since the early 90s and have seen them on every tour since then, and I am determined not to miss this one!!

    The tickets are pricey, but TT always put on an awesome show, and I will happily go without a few nights outs/mags/fripperies to make sure I can go!:j
  • Take That don't do pre sales, never have,

    Um, yes they do.

    Either that or my four printed tickets sat next to me are a mirage from this intense Autumnal heatwave we're having ;)

    At Wembley it's standing or Unreserved seating which means the lower tier of the seating. It was the same when I went to see Muse. So get there early and get a good seat.

    80 minutes till release...

    We're going for the £85 ones if we can, we live at least 2 hours from any of the venues so getting there early is going to be a bit tricky.

    I am a nervous wreck this morning!
