    Glasgow seetickets info

    In my past experience of getting tickets through seetickets, the seats are an allocated block and pretty good ones at that. The cheaper tickets are a couple of the blocks at the back (can't remember which ones though, never sat there) and the more expensive ones are block FF.

    The see tickets ones actually went on sale about 4 minutes to 9 as I had completed my order when they were doing a 'live' countdown on GMTV to 9am for people to try to get tickets.

    It takes a few days to assign the seat numbers.

    If you have booked 2 seats, then I think you will get better ones than if you went for 6 seats together as most people will have done this and to get 6 together, they will have had to keep going back rows as people placed orders with 2 seats if you understand that..........

    They might not be the front block, but then I think the people that queue up all night whole heartedly deserve them.

    Surely if you booked 6 tickets before others who booked 2, and there were 6 tickets available on the front row, you should get those ?!?!? They should fill up row by row in the order that orders were taken !

    I think if you re-read what was said, you'll see this was explained.

    Say for example that there are 10 seats on each row, the first 6 will go on row 1, the next on row 2 etc to be seated together, leaving 4 seats available on each row, so enabling 4's or 2's to sit there.

    Make sense????

    Yes, but if there are only 4 seats left in row A , and you want 6, then the person who wants 6 will get put back a row (B) and then next person that comes along that wants 2, will get 2 of those in row A etc

    There must have been a lot of people trying for 6 at a time and those (like me ) who went for 2 will get the best 2 available.

    It worked for me for the last Take That concert and I had great seats.

    Sorry meerustar and alison74 :)

    Yes, I read it quickly and thought you meant that all bookings for 2 tickets would take preference over larger bookings even if more than 2 tickets were still available on a row.

    Now how has this ebay seller already got their tickets in hand? (They've included a photo).
    Were they actually handing over tickets to people who physically bought at
    the box office?

    Whoever paid this amount for them has more money than sense !!

    £750 :eek:


    They could have had my 2 tickets for far cheaper and had a nice holiday to Scotland, all travel and accommo included ;)

    I love Take That, but £750 ??? Madness
