All comes down to Friday now, completely forgot in all this hullabaloo that you're not even guaranteed access to the general sale!

Feeling like I may regret getting two GA standing rather than golden circle tickets with some stuff I've been reading about the potential for a crap view. 

I think if I'd had more time I'd have stumped up for golden circle but with the Monday rush, and not knowing if this was the only opportunity I'd get for tickets, I just threw the best I could get in my basket and checked out. 

On the other hand, the £60 saving per ticket is nice when I've just dropped £200+ on tickets for six dates of The Front Bottoms first UK tour in 5 years. 

Honestly I wouldn't think like this ! Next week's sales are likely going to be chaos and you'll know people who would pay £'000s for those tickets. It's going to be amazing no matter where you are in the stadium!

Cardiff was a breeze. Even had loads of time throwing back tickets to get ones I was happy with 

[stanh]

So glad I've sorted my tickets for it, next week will be a bloodbath I fear.

I saw someone else say that golden circle basically gives you the comfort of knowing you have a good view, general standing you will still probably get a good view anyway it's just not as certain 

I'm fairly sure you'll have a decent view regardless unless you turn up 5 minutes before she comes on stage and end up right at the very back

Cardiff tickets sorted. Managed to get some £110 tickets in the upper tier but I've sat in a very similar spot for the rugby and it's a good view.

Out of curiosity... standing (GA and the Left/Right) were still listed when I got through but kept coming back saying no tickets found. Would I have been better off sitting there searching again and again and some may have come up? I kept alternating my search between L/R/GA and never got anywhere but reading on twitter it seems like this worked for some?

Happy with what I got anyway but just curious if I was doing anything wrong.

Regardless - VERY HAPPY 🙂

A very good way of thinking about it!

I have a feeling they might cross reference ticket purchases against the registration requests, but we’ll see. Might be a lot of hassle. But it’ll be interesting to see if those successful here this week get selected on Friday too.

So the next "wrinkle" Is will they actually check id. I mean the queues would be even worse if they did this when they gotta get so many people Inside, right?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Don’t think I’ve ever in my life had the name on the ticket checked against ID, not even for Prince which was like a gig in a police state. 

[Tartan_Glasto]

Yeah I've been to gigs before where they stated ID would be checked but it never has been. Not to say they won't do it this time.

The only time I had an issue getting in somewhere was when I went to see Biffy and your ticket was effectively the card you used to buy them. I had changed banks in between times so no longer had the card. Was sent to the Box Office and they sorted it. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If there's 50 thousand people queuing for a stadium there's bugger all chance the folk checking tickets will be doing ID checks.

[thatTFBguy]

I've actually had my ID checked before at a Catfish and the Bottlemen gig in 2019. Was a right pain as I'd got the tickets on twickets so name didn't match, had to show the security my order email and basically beg to be let in as they were insisting that strict policy was "no matching ID = no entry". Never happened since mind.

I have had ID checked, but at smaller gigs.  At stadiums they have to process huge crowds.

Yeah, reckon they’ll only check the panic-bought posh packages

Can’t wait to push them out of the way with my snazzy new lanyard and tote bag.

Too soon!

That does seem to clarify that it was indeed possible to buy tickets for multiple shows up to 4 tickets.

[Amy Lawn]

I'm finally gonna see her 🤘😹🤘

Disregard everything I ever said about not going, it all went out the window when somebody said "I got u a pitch standing ticket, u want?"

YES. So happy to hear this. ❤️

[stanh]

I've only ever had my ID checked against the ticket for George Ezra a few years ago, would be shocked if they are matching names to tickets for Taylor, especially with it mainly being turnstile entry.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I had to create a brand new AXS to checkout, so despite the fact I entered the sale using the correct email address and with the code that was issued to me, the tickets are against a new email address.

Could this throw a spanner in the works, or no need to worry?

Hmm that’s a tricky one. I’d be inclined to think since you’ve got the tickets in your account, it might not matter now? I think the point about accounts and emails was to actually access the sale. Now you’ve got the tickets, they’ll be linked to your new account and you shouldn’t need to provide an email again, it’ll just be a mobile ticket. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're definitely showing OK in the account - it was an AXS issue so had to spin up a new account on the fly to check them out.

But now wondering if I can try for another 4 on the original email address if I get a Verified link.
