Really dont want to dissapoint my girl

in my experience the best way not to dissapoint her is DONT TELL HER until you have the tickets!

cant help you with early tickets unless they appear on here https://www.ticketrush.co.uk/nokia/index.aspx
this site can be pretty good for getting in early.
but if its ticket sites you want....

http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/

and my ultimate top tip...join the messageboard, post a bit (to develop trust)and keep an eye on the for sale section, there were LOADS of tickets for last years tour on there,
a lot of the fans panic buy the tickets and then have to give some up, and they are only allowed to sell face value on the board.

we took my daughter (5 years old at the time) to one of the wembley shows, she has grown up [STRIKE]being subjected too[/STRIKE] er.... watching my old TT videos and got a taste for them herself.... and Mark spoke to her from the stage!
*mumble...grumble.... ive been going to concerts for 15 years and nobody ever spoke to me from the stage....grrr *

I LOVE concerts, and normally go to 3 or 4 a year but ive banned them this year, i just cant afford it (and buying tickets is mostly how ive got myself into debt )
typical then that one of my favourite bands should announce ONE date in the uk after not touring here for about 8 years.... damn you aerosmith :mad:

There are NO pre-sale tickets for the Take That gigs.

Last time they went on sale, half the sites crashed (especially ticketmaster) due to the volume of people after tickets.

My local radio station have a ticketline (check yours) and usually its easier to get them from there. I got TT last year, Oasis, U2 and James tickets through the radio ticketline.

dont have much faith in websites anyway, would you say to ring venue box office tommorow morning was the very best option?

Hi Im just passing on some advice to anyone desperate to purchase TT tickets at any cost. I am an avid fan and have been for years, in response to the people asking the best way to get tickets for their concerts my answer is there isnt any. I was lucky enough to come by a ticket for last years fab concert in Newcastle but only after a lot of time, frustration and annoyance. I have noticed people explaining which sites to go and which numbers to phone, they will all find to their frustration all of these methods totally useless as I did last year. You manage to get through to the ticket site only to discover you are going to have to wait 30 mins then it goes up to 50 mins then 1hr when you would expect the time to reduce. Then the site totally crashed, the phones were a waste of time as they just rang and rang and rang (you get the picture). If you are made of money and like lining the pockets of the ticket touts, they are allready selling pre sale tickets at excess of £300 per ticket for a front block seat yes you heard that right £300! Just to make another thing totally clear you CAN NOT get pre sale tickets by becoming a member of the fan club, I have been a member for ages and they do not allow pre sale tickets. The only fan clubs which allow this are clubs that you pay a yearly subscription for the priviledge of getting pre sale tickets. So the outcome of this is by all means try the phones and the web but when you get sick of this just pray that you may pick up a bargain on EBay which I was lucky enough to do I got a ticket for £10 and had an amazing night. The only other alternative is take your tent and sleeping bag out tonight and get in the queue!!! See u at the concert.:j

Oh dear, must say i am not a very patient woman nor am i willing to pay way over the odds to see them, much as me and my DD like take that i wont be camping out at the arena(far too cold today)!.....second thoughts, might be quieter than partners snoring!!

I will try ticketmaster 2moro but after reading your post i really dont hold out much hope. then again i suppose i have as much chance as every body else.

welcome to the site cassie by the way!

There are more than enough concerts..so don't worry. As long as you are on the computer at 9 tomorrow morning (try to get on the sites at about 10 to as sometimes they release them early). As long as you are on broadband speed and you have a little patience (see what I did there) you should get them no problem. My wife used this advice for the last tour and got front row of the second floor block....and she got to touch Mark and Jason (well they were right in front of her when they went dancing in the crowd).
