Think that’ll be our strategy, really can’t bear to risk not getting any for Cardiff. I had a back and forth on Reddit with someone as that was my reading of the FAQ, but they were adamant the code was used up after the first transaction, even if it's for less than 4 tickets. Didn't seem to get anywhere yesterday on who was correct. Is there something concrete to suggest you can spread the tickets? If so, I'd go for two seating right away to get tickets confirmed, and then keep trying for some golden circle ones at another show if they're available.

I feel like if tickets can be split, it increases the odds of bad characters buying 2 for one date for themselves and then trying to get 2 for a separate date to resell.

Yeah that's my thinking. The registration/pre sale codes gauged the demand and they've reacted to that. There won't be any surprises from now in terms of the "overwhelming demand".

Oh yeah definitely, it would be a pretty horrible idea IMO. I just didn't think the FAQ was clear in the slightest and it was vague enough to make me think it could be possible. I like the idea of limiting it as much as possible so every genuine fan (as much as that can be judged!) gets a shot at seeing her once on this tour. They've made some effort to do that, so hopefully as many people with a pre-sale and main sale code are successful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the fact they took the line about it out of the T&Cs that has convinced me it’ll be possible. Might just be an error though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No basis for saying that apart from her appetite for setting new records and the level of demand Yep. As you say she’s already at six so wouldn’t be much of a stretch to add three more. And then maybe one more in each of the countries which currently only have one or two shows (Spain, Wales, Portugal, Italy).

There won't be any surprises from now in terms of the "overwhelming demand". Looking at this. Most dates have 3-4 day break in between. 4 days especially when moving country. I can see an extra Spain date being added 29/05. I can see a London date being added 24/06 (giving 3 days between Ireland). I can see MAYBE 1 Cardiff date being added on the 19/06 but that only gives 1 day break before a a run of 3 shows. As for the August ones, The Weeknd is playing on the 18th of August in Wembley, so I imagine that's the the lot. Possibly a 14/08 date as there's nothing in the stadium at that time. I think the shows listed are the ones we're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be an error though. It's not clear in the slightest. I mean this definitely reads like the code has 4 uses on it, and it's not just one transaction: 6. The pre-sale access code is personal to you and cannot be used by or transferred to anyone else. You will have the opportunity to purchase a maximum of 4 (four) tickets per access code. We'll see! My question though - I don't recall doing this, but I must have signed up for the no purchase option as well as buying the record, so I've got two codes on two different email addresses. It's very clear about one code per person, and Ticketmaster actually says they can cancel any/all tickets if individuals buy more than 4 tickets and they check it against billing info, card used etc. I was going to give the other code away to someone, but dunno if they'll somehow figure out they were both my codes? My two email addresses are essentially my name, so it's pretty obvious 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each code can only be used with the account linked to that email address, presumably to avoid codes being given away.

I think we're pretty much nailed on to get at least 2 more Wembley nights, after the end of what's currently been announced. LA went up to 5 nights at the end of the US run, then randomly announced a 6th night last week (for a show in 5 weeks from now). Could easily see the same for the Wembley August run.

Similar to how football clubs operate I guess. Could definitely see that the route these mega artists go down in future. Guaranteed revenue stream, and means they don’t have to bother with this album and presale faffing. The National have a membership with an exclusive vinyl every year and pre-sale access to tour dates among other things, I believe. Not sure if it would be worth it or not really, the vinyl is the main sell there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t even have any prices on - the Wembley diagram was the weird one with seats supposedly right round the back of the stage which provoked that dreary conversation last night. Was almost certainly gonna be wrong and so it has proved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
