Anyone else having trouble getting resale tickets through from Ticketmaster?

Quite frankly they are taking the p***

Emailed them on several occasions now and all you get is a generic automated reply but no bloody ticket!

Bought the ticket back in May and it's all been confirmed but nothing has come through as of yet.

Gonna be severely hacked off if I miss this after a two year wait.

 

Cheers

are the tickets not just digital on your ticketmaster account?

The walk between the 2 stages probably takes all of 3 minutes, 10 if there's a crowd so you'll probably have time between the 2, unless you're actually down in front of the stage its very easy to walk through the crowd so I reckon you'll be alright but just do whatever you feel is best

No, Resale Tickets are a separate entity. All you get is a confirmation of the order and that tickets have been sent but no actual ticket - digital or otherwise so far

That's strange, as all Latitude tickets for humans (i.e. no campervans) are print at home now.  Even from resellers.  I would expect these to be the same.

It's a shame Wolf Alice aren't getting a full 90 minutes, like the other headliners. They definitely have enough great songs for it!

I really don’t get that either, especially on the day which probably has the weakest undercard.

criminal! they could play three hours and it would still be all killer.

Billie Marten is still set to play. Maybe she’s ditched this week’s in-store’s to avoid getting ‘pinged’ before Lat.

Weather warning for Sunday now ha!

Looks to be hot and a little stormy, rest of days dry really, few showers Saturday.

Just about to set off for the 6 1/2 hour drive down. 
Latitude was my last festival, so 2 years. 2 bloody years.

So so happy to be finally going to one, can't wait. Even the shifts will be a joy I'm sure (although I'd prefer a role where I get to wander about rather than stuck on a gate like last time)

See you all there in a couple of days!

Enjoy - be sure to pass on any useful info!

Yeah loads of time. Tip for the Obelisk stage. Always go in on the left hand side (where the Obelisk stone is on the map). The entrance into the whole arena naturally leads people up to the right hand side so that side is always packed but the left is much less busy and you can often just walk straight up to the front.

"Front left, by the speaker" is our festival family's go to point 😁

It always amazes me that this works, given how many people I hear of doing it (my group included)!

Yep, that looks more likely ......staying out of the way so as not to put her Latitude appearance in jeopardy or risk any pings.

I know right but it never fails 😅  unless.... are you one of our group? 😅😅  we've always said it, at clubs, gigs festivals - we were in Vegas a few years ago & our seats happened to be front left, by the speaker so I posted a pic on socials saying if you know you know!  Baffled a fair few other friends 😅

[DirtyLurker]

Can't quite believe it but we seem to be going to a festival tomorrow 😮

[Havors]

Looks good according to met office. Possible shower early Saturday then dry again until sunday when there is good chance of showers throughout the day. 

[balthazarstarbuck]

Similar on Dark Sky- rain at it’s worst during Rick Astley on current projections.

Yeah can't quibble with that, if you go Thurs-Monday and get a day + a morning of rain not sure you can argue too much.

met office is usually the most accurate as well, looks good. I'll be there tomorrow with oxfam. Extra sunny day ha

Anyone sort of glad it's going back down to the early 20 degrees range, it's 28c here today and for me it's just too hot in the direct sun.

 

(Ps I know we moan when it's hot and when it's cold)

Hell yes. I love the sun but constant sun 28 degrees at a festival is a nightmare. 

The lower temp will help.

Remember a day in 2016 I believe and it was just far too hot, people fighting for shade.

Havors this may sound really dumb, but what part of Oxfam play there again? I forget, what will you be getting up to?
