Updated - apparently you can get tickets in person from HMV an hour before the announcement.

i'd assume there'll be posters flying about at the places selling them. I expect a leak

Oh no I mean't lineup poster. I assumed there will be posters up after the announcement? I would assume so anyway? I just figure there is potential, if there is in fact lineup posters about, that someone could potentially leak it?

[mrtourette]

There's posters in HMV every year, I've always thought they were a leak potential but I guess no more than the magazine printers or online vendors who need to prepare advertisements in advance. As a major partner I'm sure HMV have to ensure certain secrecy standards.

I wish more people read this than just delve into the massive Reading 2012 thread.

Hmm...I can't decide between walking to Oxford Circus after work to get tixs or go home and find out the line up and then get tixs. I probably go to HMV as long as the line up is leaked during the day.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

With the HMV tickets that you get in store, do they give you the ticket on the day? or do you have to wait 'til a few weeks before same as if you were buying online?

[Mr Mr]

I suspect that FR will have tightened up the holes that existed last year. It probably won't happen this year.

Bump for all the noobies that will be here all day now.

Ok here's a question for tonight,

I vaguely remember last year that I got my tickets from See and then had to do a separate transaction with ticketmaster for my car park pass and locker does anyone know if they're both going to sell both this year or if I'm going to end up doing a separate transaction if the See tickets site is the one that works for me?

[kev1664]

Something like this thread but title fake poster thread should be put up with a picture of each fake that's already been discounted, in order to stop the darn repeats that are already happening!

That's really odd, I thought See sold everything last year. They're the official vendor so they certainly should be.
