Ive been thinking about going to leeds for the last couple of years and this year i am actually going to go i just need some ticket advice.

1) Is it only 2 tickets per customer? i need to buy 4 as its me and a 3 friends, might have to get 2 people with 2 each if that is the case.

2) Which website is the best for tickets? ive heard seetickets crashes and ive been in ticketmaster queues for hours in the past.

thanks in advance

You'll have issues with both sites tbf, but just keep trying.
Also someone will no doubt posted the back door url on here at some point on monday evening.
I don't know about maximum tickets.
If 4 of you want to go, then just get someone else to get the other 2 tickets if it turns out being just 2 tickets per person.
It is 2 tickets per person for Reading residents early access scheme, thats all I know.

I tried getting tickets last year for Reading, tried for half an hour and still didn't manage to get any. Was fairly gutted! Really hoping to get some this year, if anyone has any 'tips' etc as to getting through on ticket day it'd be greatly appreciated!

You didn't try for long enough. It took me nearly 2 hours.

Ah, well i'd heard that they had sold out and kinda gave up. The lineup was meh for me anyway. I'll keep at it this year as a huge blink fan, can't miss them! Thanks

I didn't get my tickets until about 50 mins after they went on sale last year. I'm sure I remember hearing somewhere that Seetickets get a bigger allocation of tickets? Their fake queues annoy me though. It's just a timer set to refresh the page every 20 seconds or so. You are better off just constantly refreshing the page yourself.

I cant be bothered with the ticketmaster queue, it tells you that it will be 20 minutes but it ends up like 2 hours does anybody know if day tickets sell out faster, cos im not sure if we are just gonna try for the best day

day tickets take a while to sell out, so if you do just prefer the one day then that would be your best bet

Waiting for 2 hours for a reading ticket isnt really that much of a hardship IMO
