Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?

However, if you were one of the lucky people who got through and bought 2 tickets, or are a member and bought 4 tickets yesterday then please if you have any spares, offer them here to the people who need them!

I have at least 2 people who need tickets. Thanks to Mike Bower for reserving one for me yesterday!

That is all.

There's discussion of it on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/underworldl...52224908112849

Seems a fair number of people didn't get the e-mail. You're supposed to e-mail hello@underworldlive.com if you didn't get the e-mail, but it may be too late now.

Got one... try again because they were sold out then suddenly more were available... only single tickets though

Got a balcony seating ticket... just the one

woofmute 07-03-2014 03:23 AM

Re: Dubnobasswithmyheadman: 20th Anniversary 5-CD Deluxe Boxset
 
Yeah, I ended up on the balcony too. Shouldn't be too bad considering the layout, I guess.

I need some too! That pre-sale was a total farce. So please contact me if you have any (seems unlikely :-/ )

Edit: we got tickets!

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
In the RFH members area is does say due to high demand there are no more priority tickets but a limited number will be available tomorrow on general release so dont give up hope. Looking at stubhub n viagogo there are suprisingly few tickets so looks like most have gone to fans but with 2500 capacity and a 1 off gig there was enever going to be enough to keep everyone happy.

ha.ha.ha... what a laugh


Otherwise it would have been so nice. I will be on the way home just days before from Orlando and it could have been so perfect to make a stop and see the show.

I got that too for a while and kept going, bought tickets at 10:04.

Once tickets are added to the basket they are there for the duration of a timed session, the person has that time to complete payment otherwise they go back to available. Payments also get refused for all sorts of reasons.

Seems to happen to me a lot when buying tickets.

Shit that we are in this situation. 876 gbp for front section anyone?

Didn't get an email about the ticket sale.

gutted.

Might try to get a refund - its bad form

Congrats to those who did get tix!

My wife just pre-ordered me the 5CD box. I'm in the US, there's no way i'm going to make the gig, so i'm not fussed with the pre-sale... Just hoping there will be a stream or recording of the gig.

Sorry for those who tried and didn't get tickets. I know it's probably of little consolation, but if anything, the super-rapid sell-out of tickets/crashed site just shows how much interest there still is in the band we love and this classic LP.

Maybe a much larger venue would have been better to accommodate the masses, but it should be a nice intimate show for a lucky few, not a huge festival gig with people shouting lager,lager,lager etc. I feel for those that are real lifelong diehards and came up empty, but on the other hand, everyone thinks they're the biggest fan and deserves it, right?

Good advice to keep in mind for the general onsale, which starts in just under 5 hours!

But each and every one of us *IS* the biggest and we each *DO* deserve it, right? (Said with a healthy dose of 'I got here 16 years late' sarcasm)

I'm with you though, after purchasing the box set I spent a day desperately digging around for a way to get me and the SO there, but it just wasn't gonna happen on our pay. Hope there's more than just an audience recording, but I'll take what I can get!

Best of luck to those of you fending with the masses for a general sale ticket.

I think it's an outrage that there are always people that are in it for the money...
Real fans get robbed by these vultures...

Although I have a ticket reserved (Thnx Mike), I will go back on at 10am and try to get 2 more tickets...
And no, I'm not in it for the money... I'm already rich :)

Great times... Great times...

strangely, the page for the general sale says "sold out" already, even though it hasn't even started.

Pappie 07-04-2014 02:34 AM

What is the link for that ?

Poised...

I feel super-lucky to have a friend who's a South Bank member who only *just* managed to get me a ticket, but I have so many friends who went for pre-sale tickets yesterday only to be disappointed and it looks like loads of people on here had the same experience.

It doesn't seem very fair that only people who pay a premium for memberships/ordering an album they probably already own get a chance to go see them live :(

I'm no 509 in the queue...

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
No idea if this will work, but at least I like this queue system better than Seeticket's.

stimpee 07-04-2014 03:14 AM

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
Mike says he got to the front and it was all sold out. Im 75 in the queue. i do not hold out much hope.

miss glitch 07-04-2014 03:18 AM

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
So they keep you in the queue even if it's sold out?!

stimpee 07-04-2014 03:20 AM

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
I had 3 computers and many browsers. i made it to the front and it is indeed sold out. im still in the queue with the others.

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
I woke up just before 5am for this! Never really had much hope :(

Still makes me wait in the queue for my other sessions! False hope!

Getting up at 4:30 am two days in a row didn't pay out. I'm afraid they'll have to do another (series of) concert(s) then.

Rikkie 07-04-2014 03:47 AM

Re: Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?
 
Total #fail for me too. Was about 200 in the queue at 10am, sold out when I got to the front.

Bah.
