I went to Radiohead at the Roundhouse but don't recall getting ID'd, although they've been pretty strict in the past when I've been to the iTunes festival there, so the chances are it's down to the venue to enforce and whether they can be bothered or not.

I got ID'd when I picked my ticket up and on the way in. I did go in quite soon after doors, I wonder if they slack off the checks as the queues stack up

[shoptildrop]

I've only been to one show where they asked for ID and that was the Muse intimate gigs a few years back - they did ask to see card I paid with.

This will be the 2nd one

Thing is if they are allowing resale through twickets, surely they going to have to allow twickets invoices as well??

I am disgusted (but not surprised) Viagogo are selling tickets at such a high price - seriously over £200 per ticket!!! Do people buy these things???

You have to show your Twickets booking confirmation and have ID that matches that. Same for all such gigs.

Got 2 for gorilla, result! Makes missing out on hot chip gorilla yday a bit easier

Catfish are very strict on ID. Caused a lot of problems on their tours because people don't realise they are buying ID tickets. I would agree though that you only get your ID checked in 10% of cases where you are told you need it.

Me and all my mates got ID’d at Catfish in Nottingham last week, but it’s not happened at any other gig I’ve been to recently. I think the last time I had one checked before that was Muse on the Drones tour.

Not on the London date:

 

On your other question, there is absolutely no way that a promoter can find out who has listed the tickets for sale on Viagogo (unless specific seats have been listed)

Am going to the London date and my email says this:

5. To gain admission to the concert, the Lead Booker must bring:
i) The tickets
ii) A valid photo ID (original format, no photocopies) matching the Lead Booker surname on the tickets
Failure to bring all the items i) and ii) above will result in refusal of admission to the concert.

Strange that your email would leave it out, yet mine includes it.

I quoted the terms from the See Tickets booking page. The terms in the email are different. Not going to make a difference to me but that is actually poor from See not to have them matching up. Basically changing the T&Cs if you had, say, bought the tickets for your son/daughter when it didn't mention ID checks.

Well that's my week ruined, goddamnit

Martini you’re welcome to have it if you’re not successful tomorrow. Mpdow2, if martini does manage to picket up a couple of tickets, it’s yours. JSmurphy, sorry I’ve gotta for the first reply strategy but if they both pick tickets up in the general sale tomorrow then you’re obviously welcome to it. 

Hopefully you’ll all pick tickets up tomorrow anyway ?. Be a twickets job then but thought I’d offer it here first 

Well that was impossible. At least yesterday I managed to put my presale code in. Did keep trying for 10 minutes just in case they came back but all in vein. 

If Martini doesn't claim the spare ticket, I would love to take it. 

Thanks in advance

@briddj I owe you a pint! Not a sniff at 9 after putting 2 tickets in the drop down box, kept refreshing and got put straight onto the booking page at 9:08! Absolutely buzzing!

[y0ungtitan]

One for Hackney, can't wait!

Has anyone on here ever been refused access to a venue without ID?

Prince at roundhouse.  Managed to get in despite that but that was a 1 in a million accidental sneak

[Diamond24]

Three of us were planning on going. Got two in the presale. I got through to the ticket buying page after spamming refresh at about 9.07 today. I completely didn't think to use a different card, address, email address etc and it blocked the sale cause I bought the max of 2 in the presale

Sorry @mpdow2, had no joy despite having multiple people on the case in various countries for both sales. @stylishkids, if that offer's still there, I'd love to take it. Thank you very much, will PM you.

No problem. Was impossible today so was more in hope you managed to secure tickets. Have a blast. 

[ConorC]

No luck.

Fingers crossed all my luck is being saved up for the Glasto resale.

[priest17]

No joy here even after hanging around. Good to hear that sticking round till 9.08 or whatever worked for people, will definitely be using that again in the future, at least some good came out of this!

Lovely stuff.

[adequate8]

Tried today for friends but no dice, I think more were reserved for presale given you had to purchase to gain access?

[thrillhouse188]

Any set list predictions? ? Can't decide whether they're literally just warm up, so essentially the bigger show setlists, or whether they might throw in a couple of deeper cuts? Or might it even act as a sort of pre album release tease and they play through most of the new record?

You didn't have to purchase, there just weren't many tickets.

[Becks12]

Had no joy either day. Was four of us trying for just two tickets. Keeping an eye on twickets now and might go loiter outside the venue next week in case anyone has a spare on the day!

[august1]

would love a spare for Manchester in the unlikely event of one appearing

[priest17]

Got an e-mail about more tickets being released, I was waiting for a different e-mail so was in seconds after getting the e-mail.

Well it wouldn't be a complete week if I didn't go 3 for 3 on not getting Foals tickets.
