Sam Fender

[danbailey80]

I’m sure it’s been said but anyone sad for not getting tickets, these are small pre-album dates. They will play 2/3 news songs but will largely be similar to previous tours.

 

Once album 3 is named there will be a massive tour announced for spring/ summer to promote it with different stage setup and setlist including much of the new album. 
 

Having watched Sam play the same, almost exact set and order a few times for last album, I’m much more excited to see the proper new album tour. 

There will be many more chances to see Sam next year. 😀

Different stage? Does he have a stage set-up?

 

Honestly just thought it was the band and little in the way of frills.

They're putting Johnny Blue-Hat in a go-go cage.

Yeah I'm with you. Didn't even try for tickets. Until new album is out, nothing is topping the SJP gigs and 80 quid for a worse show...nah.

If anyone is still after birmingham tickets, there is a Utilita Arena pre-sale at 10am today. I think you can still sign up for the link

Fastest finger first on priority at 10am only to then be taken to a page where I have to identify bicycles (what is this, the Last Bicycle Party?) before then being thrown into a waiting room. 10 minutes later I've got 2 standing, but still, could've sorted all the little games before the tickets went live.

I always thought different presales would get different allocations but based on the fact there was essentially 0 o2 tickets for the Hydro im guessing they all went yesterday?

[El Scorcho]

Managed to get through on both the Co-Op presale and O2 presale for Manchester. About 600 in the queue ahead of me for Co-Op and maybe 6k for O2. Got what I needed by 10:02 thanks to the Co-Op presale but waited about in the O2 presale and when I eventually got through there was still standing and seats available.

I detest those identify bikes, fire hydrants, cars,  things and also ‘the can you read the letters’ in a squiggly word. I never manage to get it right😉😊

glad you got the tickets!

Having to do the games after it goes live is exactly what let you get tickets instead of a bot...

That's at best debatable.

 

While it's still something of an arms race, Bots can usually defeat those and do so faster than average joe who's still half asleep and not expecting to have to engage their brain.

Other presales allow you into the bicycle identifying waiting room as much as 30 minutes before sale. Secondly, I can't believe bots can't identify a crosswalk at this point.

True I suppose, but see below.

Nah, the presale link sent out by the arena put you in the waiting room ahead of time, leaving the priority people to decide if something with 3 wheels would be considered a bicycle by an anti-robot website. It didn't really matter today, but I know which one to use next time.

[Pipine]

So did the See website tell you where you were in the queue?  Interested to hear how this might work for glasto ticket sales..

not a position, but had a status bar that progresses.

I used o2 priority (axs for the O2) and didn't have this so not sure what happened to you!

 

I would assume if everyone who had the arena link didn't have to do a captcha (ie were all in front of you) then you wouldn't have got a ticket - or at least not got through that quick.

 

O2 would have their own pool of presale tickets to the venue

[NorthernSoul52]

Seetickets going this way felt inevitable. Alas. 

[sfroml]

Managed to bag 4 standing for Leeds today via FD. 

Always enjoy the extra £50 on top for booking etc fees......

Priority has a waiting room prior to the sale time for the millennium dome but not for the other arenas.

Yes, it’s heartwarming to think that every gig ticket bought means I donate pounds to such agents that are such deserving causes and in need of our support😉. And they get even more now that every ticket is an e ticket and they don’t need to print or post them out.

Any northerners get a presale for Newcastle?

[NorthernSoul52]

Not sure there will be an extra Newcastle one. Could see it being one and done ahead of the inevitable massive shows next year.
