Rhyscot Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 After last years problem with SOS Ticketmaster, ive decided instead of being a complete idiot to actually buy the tickets on the day of release. Soo what site would everyone recommend ? Theres obviously: See tickets, Ticketmaster andd many more.. soo who had the easiest and most efficiant buy ?

kookye Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 all 4 of the legitimate sites are a nightmare on release day! last year a few of the self-announced bands (Muse) did a pre-sale for people registered to their website, that's how I got mine...see if anyone self-announces and see if they're offering anything like this. Alternatively, just try to slog it out on Ticketmaster, seetickets, gigsandtours, stargreen on release day. But they always release loads more after a few months so you could risk that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal91 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Personally I found Ticketmaster to allot quicker than seetickets, not sure whether this was the same for everybody else. Saying that as other people have mentioned tickets are usually released in several batches after the first rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy246 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I had my laptop and my dad's laptop next to the home computer each one on a different site and kept refreshing and waiting til i got somewhere! It worked though, got last years tickets within the first half hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscot Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Soo wait.. say if i went on ticketmaster at bang on 10am on the 6th, it would be difficult just to click "buy tickets", or would it keep crashing etc ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam. Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 its the speed of your computer mostly. Whoever says you won't get on the ticketmaster site at 10am is talking rubbish, unless you have a painful computer. Ticketmaster is an absolutely incredible website, that runs so extremely fast its unbelievable. A few years ago, Ticketmaster & co were at little slow, I missed out on T in the Park tickets, 2007 i think. But its a different story now, Ticketmaster's servers are just frankly amazing. Having said all that, I know that Ticketline.com sell V Festival tickets (I bought mine from there), as do www.gigsandtours.com (which is a seetickets affiliate). You could try aloud.com, which is a Ticketmaster affiliate, LiveNation and TicketWeb, are also Ticketmaster affiliates. I'm unsure on the latter three, if they sell tickets for V, but if they do, they're definitely legit. Stargreen only sell for Chelmsford I believe. I know all this as I am a former ticket tout (eBay, there's too many people doing it now, so not worth it usually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticMonkeysUK Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I got mine perfectly fine in June - but i bought a coach package with National Express decent price for the ticket and coach travel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookye Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Do you work for Ticketmaster now or something?! I like to think I buy a lot of tickets online and I can honestly say that Ticketmaster are the worst company I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam. Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) By computer I meant your internet provider / connection speed... Oh and no, i'm a student nurse, hence needing the extra money! Edited February 23, 2009 by Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlen Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you tried to go on to any of the websites at 10am you won't get on them. You need to be on the website a good half an hour before tickets go on sale. My best tip for you would be to come on to efestivals as the admin on here and other kind forum users will post direct links to ticket pages and at the same time you will be helping this website to keep going.
