Oasis

I've got tickets for 6 gigs between now and Christmas, comes to £153 in total. Now obviously none of them are of the stature of Oasis but it does feel like a better way to spend the money.

 

All but one of the acts probably need that cash, too. 

 

I do quite like Oasis but don't think I'd go over £80 for them, and I'd want to be able to get the bus home.

 

Made me think about my own purchases so had a look. Through all of 2024 (exc. Glasto) I'll have been to 9 gigs with the total cost of tickets coming in just under £300.  Only need/needed 2 hotels so drove/will drive or use public transport for the others.  Trying to put a total cost on that, I think it will be around £600-£650.  For 9 nights out seeing around 20 different acts in cool intimate venues (and I can only think of one act out of 20 I didn't enjoy).

 

Given that attending one stadium sized gig for a large act and staying over somewhere would cost about the same, I know where I prefer to spend my money.

i'm scared to even think about what i've spent on gigs this year, not even considering anything else, there is 4 x Bruce shows already done... plus heading off to New Jersey for Bruce in a few weeks... so umm... yeah... daaaaaaammnnnn

 

 

actually... probably best not to think about it...

Can't believe The Guardian's printed that people should have been listening to the Manics instead!!!

7pm - 10pm apparently, which is interesting for them to say. Wondering if they've gone small on the numbers

Mine just arrived, it will be interesting whether we were selected or will everyone who entered get one?

I think if everybody got one it would outstrip availability...

Theory blown . Thanks 

[wozwebs]

Mate has received one, surname begins with W. I sent in a fair few using different email addresses I have and nothing yet.

Presume sending thousands though and with unique codes a slower process than bulk emailing in one go?

[MilkyJoe]

I would be surprised if all the codes were sent out at the same time. Be interesting to see if they trickle out during the next 4 hours.

Out of my group of 14, nobody else has one apart from me

[Charliehmiller]

I got a code though on mine. 

 

But when I click the link on the email it just takes me to the normal ticket master oasis page, when I click on a date too it doesn't say presale. Reckon this will appear later?

I do but was also on the mailing list and was guaranteed one in an email the other day, so they probably went out first as didn't need any other sorting 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Got the square root of nowt

Yeah the pages on TM usually change to a pre sale gateway around the sale time

They were much more popular than Blur in the 90s too. 

 

Who would win we cut the first two albums from there careers and just compared the last 5/7

Not surprised they’re doing it tonight and tomorrow. It’s going to be a website crashed and they don’t want it to interfere with other onsales today
