UK dates confirmed Manchester - London 2024.
-
My daughter got to front of queue on Ticketmaster and there was one ticket left but it wouldn’t let her buy it. I got in the sales room for Sunday, but, just like the pre-sale there were small numbers of tickets left, cheapest £429, which I can’t afford. Nevermind
-
My daughter was trying for Saturday
-
I almost missed my cue as I was temporarily distracted on another website and it suddenly went very quickly to zero. However, there were only very few tickets left and nothing very good. Oh well, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed for some more dates in Europe
-
Congrats all those who managed to get tickets.
Sadly, for me, I wasn't successful. Thus for the first time since 2010 when Macca has played some London dates, I won't be in attendance.
Hopefully tickets will become available at some point over the next few months on Ticketmasters fan resale option. I can but hope!
-
@annika no not yet. If I log onto account pdf says I have bought 2 tickets but doesn’t mention any seat numbers and I’ve never received a confirmation email so I’m not 100%
I’ll ring them early next week when things have calmed down.What about you?
-
No joy for me either. There were a handful of tickets left when I got through but every time I tried to grab any, it wouldn't let me. Now it's not even letting me refresh the seat map. Unfortunately I wouldn't hold out much hopes for more European dates. When he last did a Winter tour of Europe in 2018, he did 8 dates and he's announced 8 this time. Best bet now is to wait to the last gasp and buy on the day or day before. Late tickets always come up - separated from OTT priced hospitality packages, production seats etc. You need to live relatively near the venue and be able to travel at short notice. I've picked up late bargains for all sorts of acts that way down the years.

No luck here
Tried the presales and today and nothing was available for Manchester 14th.How soon do you think they will allow resales on the ticketmaster official site?
Really looking for 3 seats for the 14th as this is my only chance seeing him.. -
I wish some people had been more vocal about their wishes in here. I could have gotten some tickets in the pre-sale but I wanted something in blocks A1, A2 or A3. The best I saw was something in the B block.
I've seen Paul 12 times already, usually close to the stage (things were a lot easier in the old days ;)). The last time in Paris I sat really far away, so I don't need that again. Plus, travel and accomodation. I'd be less picky if it was nearby. Perhaps I'll keep an eye on re-sales but it seems there's really a lot more demand than the last time around, hence my hope for more dates (perhaps in spring). -
Possibly the worst ticketing experience I’ve had in a long time. Both the pre sale and general sale took over 30 mins to get through by which time it was scrumped.
-
It seems to me, that the amount of Platinum tickets and other special priced tickets has been risen to an all time high.
Does anyone know how many tickets were sold for the regular prices?
-
I had a bad experience with the pre sale at first on weds AXS thought I was a bot so no joy, and then tried ticketmaster earlier today and it only bought up a 600 pound ticket, and not paying that. Have had to go to a secondary site and have got a ticket for 19th Dec London show, slightly more that I would have liked to have paid ,but will be my last Macca concert.

@rowley Per someone else in here, I think you won't get your seat number until the day of the event. It's a little nerve-wracking, TBH, lol.
As for myself, it was a bit of a nightmare, but that worked out in the end...? Even though AXS designated my husband and I as bots and Event Travel kept erring out on me every time I tried to do something! In the end, I ended up with Hot Sounds (Rows 4-8) for the 18th and Hot Sounds Front Row for the 19th. The tickets for the 19th were completely unexpected. It was one of my sessions that erred out completely. So, I'm not sure how that took.
It’s a lot of money that we did not intend to spend. One show for Hot Sounds is already a bad financial decision, but two? Especially since our initial plan was to get one Hot Sounds Package and a pair of regular tickets!

@annika said in UK dates confirmed Manchester - London 2024.:

Yes, with Event Travel, they don't receive the exact ticket allocations from the promoter until a couple of weeks before the show date. That's how they always do it. Actually waaaay back in the day, I remember buying tickets to some 1990 Wembley shows and the ticket agents could not tell us our seat locations either. So it's a UK ticketing thing.
So when Event receives their allocation, they will dispatch the tickets. If they are paper, they send them to you. I wonder if they will be digital this year, tho.
Congrats to all who did manage tickets, whether thru Event or AXS or Ticketmonster. It definitely should not be as difficult as all this! To those who did not get anything, don't give up! These gigs are 6 months away and there is plenty of time to find a ticket somehow.

All tickets for both Manchester shows include free tram travel up to 4 hours before the show and four hours after. Free dedicated buses for ticket holder will run from Piccadilly

Hi, first time poster here.
I can only do the 2nd O2 date. From what I could see Ticketmaster was handling the Manchester dates in the presale, and AXS London. So on Wednesday I went onto the AXS site and come 10:00 want into the online waiting room. My time in there seemed to take forever, and eventually I was able to enter the main website and 'choose my ticket'. By then, all that seemed available were tickets for two of the blocks in the upper tier. I had wanted tickets for the lower tier, not upper or floor, but this was all that seemed available, so I thought 'so be it' and clicked on those, but it became apparent that those were now gone too. I tried clicking on different options in the hope that some tickets might be released from people's baskets after they change their minds because of the price etc, (sometimes happens) but then got a message saying that they thought I was a bot and I had to start the process again. It wouldn't actually let me do that - I tried on a few different devices, and seemingly it was the IPS address that was now preventing me from getting tickets and nothing I could do rectified the situation. By this time it was probably 11:20, and it was such a frustrating process and situation. Then I switched off the WIFI on my phone and started the whole thing again. This time the waiting room was very quick, and to my complete surprise I was able to choose and order 2 tickets. Upper tier again, but row E so not too far up. I was very relieved by then to have something.On Friday I tried again, to try and get lower tier tickets. I logged onto Ticketmaster this time, and once in the queue was told there was 500 odd people in front of me, which I was happy with. It was a fairly short wait until I got in to choose tickets, but there were hardly any left and the prices were astronomical - £500+ for lower tier which weren't that much lower than my upper tier tickets. And upper tier tickets much further up from me £300-400 more than what I paid. I quickly realised that I'd be sticking with what I already had.
The lesson here is to avoid Ticketmaster unless they're involved in the presale. With big events like this, Taylor Swift etc once the main sale starts their 'dynamic pricing' kicks in and the prices will be a lot more expensive than for similar seats in the presale. I don't think the other ticket brokers do this yet.
I feel sorry for all the genuine fans who missed out. It was a shambles, and it's disheartening to see so many tickets going straight onto the secondary market. Hopefully he'll play some bigger shows in the summer

tried every which way for pre-sale, amex and 'regular' ticket sales for london. no luck whatsoever. anyone else have trouble getting tickets???
-
@ruthieb Yes, there were three of us trying to get tickets. Sadly, when we finally got in to the Ticketmaster seating map and selected tickets we immediately got a message that the tickets were not available. I'm glad I have seen Paul live before but gutted for my two friends who had never had that pleasure.
-
Hi, does anyone know if secondary sellers such as Stub Hub, Viagogo are reliable, I got through to tickets just after 10 on Friday but wouldn't let me purchase any.
-
@john-g There's some useful information here. https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25183116/viagogo-legit-ticket-resale-explained/
-
@ruthieb yes for Manchester - Ticketmaster blocked me on all occasions saying I was a bot. However now I see viagogo and StubHub have loads of tickets selling at extortionate prices. Guess they didn't block the real bots. So annoyed
