What is an artist presale? (Orbital tickets)

[PassingCloud]

Just wondering if someone on here knows what happened. 
 

Went on Ticketmaster at 10am for Orbital tickets at London O2 in April. 
Didn't expect to get any today as don’t have O2 priority and wasn’t on Orbital’s mailing list. Anyway went through the Artist Presale and bagged two tickets no problem, wasn’t asked for any codes or anything. 
 

Went back to page after and it wouldn’t let me through again. Maybe I was just lucky enough to get in on time before they sold. 
 

Anyway, just curious really about the Artist Presale thing.

Usually if you sign up to their mailing list, you get a link

Nice one! Thank you. Managed to get them myself without the link at around 10am, but this link works as a friend used it. 🙂
