    got mine will post the link once ive secured mine at 10am

    Please don't post it publicly. The link is for individual fans registered on the Genesis website. Posting it here may attract touts, who will flood Ticketmaster making it harder for genuine fans to get tickets at normal retail prices. As a result, individuals will have to pay more - not exactly MoneySaving. :D

    If you want to PM it to someone, of course that's a different matter (as long as they then don't post it up here).

    I understand you mean well, but the consequences for others would be less positive.

    Thanks

    I'm a tad gutted. Was looking last night to see if I could find anything out about tickets for Genesis. Was pointed in the direction of this site as there is usually info on pre sale tickets. Lo and behold, there it was! :beer:
    So I signed up for the Genesis forums about midnightish. But didn't get a confirmation email till this morning. :mad:

    Guess I'll just have to join the mad rush tomorrow morning.

    The presale is a great idea but there is a huge worry that touts will be using this to secure tickets and sell on at massivly inflated prices.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not post the presale link on the open forum as it really in an invitation to the touts to make a packet at the expense of ordinary fans
  • TBH posting a public link is not a disaster, any Tout that is on the ball will not mind registering for a forum (takes all of a minute) to get to the information, I would say that most touts are probably members on that site already.

    Not as if they would have any email of ticket_tout@hotmail.com is it !!lol

    but to be honest I guess this covers anyone buying these tickets to sell on ebay as well
