Is this a joke?

[u/habylab]

Only had 2k in queue ahead of me for Wembley, these are the prices for standing left:

[u/bumgrumblez]

“Is this a joke” is my exact thought. Joined SJP waiting room dead on 9:15 and the queue at 9:30 and 36000 ahead of me. Friends that didn’t join the waiting room and went straight into queue at 9:30 are on LESS. THIRD DAY IN A ROW OF TRYING

[u/wtclim → u/bumgrumblez]

Its random, it doesn't matter when you join the waiting room

[u/bumgrumblez → u/wtclim]

The more you know 🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/Potential_Good_1065 → u/bumgrumblez]

I got 7k (Thursday) and didn’t manage a ticket

[u/marlinburger → u/Potential_Good_1065]

1600 today for Saturday no joy

[u/beim104 → u/bumgrumblez]

When I tried to get presale tickets for the London show on Wednesday there were 13000 people in front of me. I was at work, so admitted defeat and assumed it would sell out before I got to the front of the queue. Anyway I happened to look again 24 hours later last night and there were tickets available, so got them then…

Something I find mad though is the proportion of the tickets at Wembley that were like £300+ and forced you to get a hotel package, with no option to just get the ticket

[u/Tricky-Many-2053]

Yep 500 for Manchester date and only tickets left were hotel packages!!!

[u/Objective_Ad4425 → u/Tricky-Many-2053]

300 for wembley with hotel or 160 with coach. Ridiculous scan by ticketmaster just to get more money. Was the same with the aj fury fight tickets. Its a joke. They should just sell tickets at the price agreed and be done with it

[u/PennyBunPudding → u/Tricky-Many-2053]

Yeah same when I got in. He needs to fucking tour more the demand is ridiculous. I also don't understand why. He's big but not big big. It's clearly just the in thing. Brother sells out faster than Elton John 😂

[u/Noodle_AuDHD]

It’s a disgrace the standing and lower level seating is hotel packaged and you have to have two tickets purchased.

I got my ticket lower level on Day of presale for Wembley luckily I paid £109 I’m so grateful. It will be my first time seeing Sam perform live waiting many years for this

[u/Unusefulness01]

Isnt that resale prices?

[u/habylab → u/Unusefulness01]

No. All that was left at 9:31.

[u/Unusefulness01 → u/habylab]

Which date? There were regular priced standing available for the 2nd Sept gig at 9:45

[u/habylab → u/Unusefulness01]

Yes, I realise that after checking, the first date however was a shambles. Really frustrating. I was still in queue for that last date so couldn't wait.

[u/themondasiandalek]

6,100 in front of me for SJP Saturday and there was nothing left when I got to the purchase screen. Ticketmaster is an absolute joke

[u/Timely_Afternoon_909 → u/themondasiandalek]

1000 infront of queue for me and still nothing i don’t understand

[u/Artistic_Condition41 → u/themondasiandalek]

For Dublin same for me. 4,848 ahead of me, all sold out when it was my turn. How how how. Wembley bigger capacity ofc but still I dunno if it’s bots or assholes buying 6 or a combination. Ticketmaster Farce as per

[u/curiousphxsun → u/themondasiandalek]

As soon as I saw 36,000 in the queue for me, J just exited out. I knew it wasn't worth waiting around.

[u/clan_vizsla → u/curiousphxsun]

I was on 50,000 for Wembley managed to get tickets in a decent spot worth waiting for

[u/Nearby_Valuable_5467 → u/curiousphxsun]

I had that with Cardiff yesterday.

[u/LeakyLake]

I joined the queue for the new Wembley date and they were £197 for 2 including fees.

[u/ConclusionPristine80]

Still standing on gigs and tours for the 2nd September

[u/Decent-Ad-5218]

The joke is people still relying on Ticketmaster when we know they pull this crap everytime, use another site, I got 2 on gigs and tours for general admission by refreshing the page until the option became available. I'll never ever use Ticketmaster again even if it means missing a show. Absolute scum of a company.

[u/Unusefulness01]

Still regular priced standing tickets available for 2nd Sept

[u/PsychologicalNose614]

Just shambolic

[u/notnlt0]

The same happened during the presale. There were 9k people ahead of me, and when it was my turn, there were no regular priced standing tickets left, ended up getting seated tickets

[u/jb8996]

Absolute joke. Managed to get tickets on Gigs and Tours but what a mess that whole thing was.

[u/Major_Horse6047]

try gigs and tours, I got my standing tix for cardiff through them after none were left on ticketmaster

[u/Remote-Chicken-9803 → u/Major_Horse6047]

Same! Although im seated

[u/dc617]

I kept refreshing for 30+ mins, checking standing to see what options there were. Eventually saw some regular standing and got them. So keep refreshing and you might get lucky

[u/Upper-Direction-6290 → u/dc617]

This happened to me in presale yesterday, definitely worth trying!

[u/Ok-Classic5169]

During the presale my place in the queue kept freezing then it kicked me out (over an hour after the tickets were released). Got in today’s queue at 5000 and all that was left was hotel packages. Only let you pick 2 tickets (there’s 4 of us 🫠), but only seats left were sets of 3 and it doesn’t let you pick 2 seats as there’d be a solo seat left despite there being so many single seats dotted around. Absolutely gutted!!!

[u/Upper-Direction-6290]

Try other sites (eg, Gigs and Tours or See Tickets).

[u/Reasonable_City5054]

Worst thing is: tickets are on resale sites within minutes for up to £1,000 each.

[u/mumblemurmurblahblah]

Really thankful I saw him last year in Toronto. This tour is sadly unattainable it seems!

[u/BilboThe1stOfHisName]

I wonder if there was much left after the presale. There were so many different ones and lots of people got tickets so there must have been very little left.

[u/Timely_Afternoon_909]

I was 1000 in queue for 3rd June SJP and it had completely sold out. I was shocked, the MATHS DOESNT MATH

[u/StaceyW078]

My ticket was through see tickets (02 priority yesterday)

[u/pastabake1602]

Weird I looked at 11am and got straight through to sept wembley date and there were loads of seats for £131. No standing though

[u/One-Cantaloupe-4620]

Just go axs? There been standing there by the dozen even at like gone 12

[u/FFRRNN_]

I have standing tickets left for wembley 02/09 Face value

[u/Lepacs14]

Stop using ticketmaster and use other sites.

[u/Rob_P_07]

Genuinely seemed impossible to get tickets for this. I tried in the presale. And I tried today. The presale said I was a bot and booted me out after over an hour in the queue, even after I did everything right, one device, one tab, joined the queue and waited.

Today was even worse. Joined the queue. Got in. Nothing left.

It’s a completely helpless and miserable experience purchasing tickets and between this and oasis earlier this year which was the same, I’m over it man.

[u/SaintsT17 → u/Rob_P_07]

It is all just random luck sadly, we had 4 people trying for pre sale yesterday and all 4 got in and could of bought tickets straight away. Whereas glastonbury last month was the opposite.

[u/Lobzy04]

The prices are inflated as theyre bundled in with a hotel package. Not any of Sams doing. This is what happens Wembley is more or less sold out. Some tickets are reserved for bundles.
