I wanna buy tickets for Kaiser Chiefs

I want to surprise my fiance with tickets to go see the Kaiser Chiefs in Manchester this October. Trouble is they have sold out.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could get my hands on some?

Thanks icon7.gif

    Think I saw some on www.ticketmaster.co.uk but I have never used them before so cannot comment on their service.

    Have you checked on Ebay?

    Have you tried https://www.aloud.com but the only other way I can think think of apart from ebay is going down to the venue on the day and buy tickets of a tout at the last minute as you normally get them cheap.

    Me and a mate went to see the Chilli Peppers in Cardiff last year and we had two extra people with us who had no tickets but them got some of a tout for face value and time was getting on

    Keep checking here This is a site where individuals sell their tickets at face value. There are none for Kaiser chiefs at the moment but if you keep looking you might get lucky. I have sold tickets on this site before with no problems.

    I'd avoid eBay unless you can get it below cost - remember these are the "nice people" who bought up all the tickets to tout and prevented you from buying them.

    Me bitter about TOUTS ???
  • Thanks for all your replies. Still no luck. There are loads on eBay but considering face value for 2 tickets was £30 I don't fancy paying £80 which is around what they're going for! Can't turn up on the day either as it's over an hour's drive so can't just arrive on the off chance of finding a desperate tout.

    Looks like I might be out of luck this time icon9.gif
