Sam smith tickets (O2 priority pre-sale)

Hi,

I have been in the pre-sale waiting room since 9am - it is now 5pm! to scared to refresh so have been constanctly checking for 9 hours. the message board just has a rotating clock that says "checking status"

im guessing my chances of actually getting a ticket now are slim

brilliant!

Sorry to hear that @Anonymous. However if you have been in the pre sale waiting room for 9 hrs I think it's safe to say you are out of luck. Therefore it wouldn't hurt to refresh the screen or start over. People do NOT wait 9 hrs for pre sales. Something is causing a problem.

It specifically said on the page in red "do not leave or refresh this page"...9 hrs later..no tickets. Fabulous

You have the patience of a saint!

I think you can safely assume that your chances now are slim to say the least. No doubt they are on sale now on eBay at grossly inflated prices.

Hey @Anonymous did your dedication pay off in the end or did you miss out on the tickets?

@Martin-O2Put it this way...they are already on sale on Ebay..Prices ranging from £250 -£400

No idea if these are Priority tickets as some are being sold by a 'recognised' ticket seller...

One thing is sure, the original price was never that high.

@Cleoriff The resale prices can be extortionate for gig tickets!

I know @Martin-O2 My point is that people will buy from Priority and then put on Ebay. Not just gig tickets either. We have seen it before with other Priority offers...

The way of the world unfortunately. There should be rules in place that names have to be on the ticket and ID shown at the door.

O2 tried that but it didn't work in cases where people had bought tickets as gifts.
I do think it would work if a bit more thought went into it though.

Buying as gifts would work, after all the buyer could put the receiver's name(s) on the ticket(s). The only real problem is when people are unable to go for any reason. Maybe refundable up to 3 weeks before the gig?
