thats only because now you are reading the successes .... many didnt in fact probably the majority didnt 

[doogie]

Interestingly, Gigs and Tours is indicating that you'll need a code for the main sale:

 

You require a promotional code to attempt to make a booking, which will have been provided to you prior to the sale.

You will be able to enter a promotional code here when this event goes on sale on Saturday 31 August 2024 at 9:00.

I'm very willing to be wrong, because I do really like Oasis. But I think that to be "seminal" you have to be innovating and influential. Oasis didn't do anything new, or change the landscape of music. They just followed a well-trodden path, and did their thing well.

 

The definition that pops up on Google is:

 

strongly influencing later developments.

They certainly didn’t innovate, musically there was nothing groundbreaking.

 

But in terms of cultural influence, they were unrivalled. 

They were (and still are) huge, a phenomenon that musically hasn’t been matched in this country since.

How do you register to get a code?

Hopefully that's a good thing? Bozos who didn't create accounts locked out??

Just opening a cider in a mixture of joy for getting tickets and also shock that I just spent £167.75 per ticket and the added extra booking fee of £2.75. Fairly sure that's a new grim mile stone in tickets prices for me. Hoping they announce a decent support to lesson the blow a little.

 

I have been told, no more tickets and think she means it this time.

One son is in. So glad for him. Roll on 9am

This is right.

 

The rampant mis-use of the word seminal is one of my personal bugbears. It is not simply a synonym for influential (which Oasis definitely are) but rather the influence of later developments, which Oasis definitely have not done.

 

Good musical examples would be Kraftwerk made seminal electronic music, or the Stooges were a seminal punk band. But it seems most people use it as a synonym for 'really good'.

 

Although that is dying out now in favour of iconic, which is a little more accurate but is so overused it winds me up just as much.

Worse than the rampant misuse of the word 'unprecedented'?

Manchester booked. Last time I saw them there, Noel gave me a refund. Ha ha!

I’m confused - how can I get one of these codes?

Just now, enquirer said:

I'm confused too.  There's been no mention anywhere else of codes being needed for the main sale.

I think it might be an error as they also retweeted the below:

No code success for us. Anxious about tomorrow now 😬

[briddj]

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

A lot more than I predicted, lol.

Best of luck to everyone on here who wants tickets tomorrow

Just had a google, 15 million more records than Oasis, in a shorter period of time! Well I never knew that! 

[Gnomicide]

My sister, who I can't recall ever mentioning Oasis before in her life, got tickets after 60 seconds.

 

 

[Benjsh]

We got our 8 for first Manchester date. Straight forward enough 🙂

 

Me and the wife will be trying for Wembley in the morning too. 

 

Hope you all get them guys! I can already hear the start to F**** in the Bushes in my head.

Got through on the pre-sale. Absolutely buzzing. 2 August, standing. I bought ticket protection as well...

Ticket protection doesn't cover you if the band pulls out. Promoter will refund unless they're bankrupt.
