Does it matter when we join the waiting room or are places in the queue allocated randomly? 

Probably first come first serve. I've joined waiting room queues before, 10 minutes before tickets gone on sale (on a 30 minute queue) and been 2000+ in line.

I know on AXS UK you can’t presave payment methods so it could be that

It's random. 

[Tadpole78]

Yeah, everything I've seen about the waiting room, says it's random allocation of queue number, so I don't think it matters if you're in it 30 mins before or 5mins.  I'll probably go early, just to make sure I can get into the waiting room, I'm worried that even that will crash.

Just got mine through for Ticketmaster.

Heads up. Waiting rooms will be open 30 minutes before the tickets go on sale. Doing this is your best chance. 

is it though? what difference does the waiting room even make?

I assumed like some other waiting rooms it was first come first served but since its random as to when you join it doesn't make a difference.

Probably the sensible thing to do / only advantage

I’m looking to buy 2 tickets in the Midnights presale, I have my code. Really we want Cardiff tickets, but thinking that it might be worth playing it safe and also trying to get London tickets in the earlier sales. Giving more chances to be successful.

What I’m wondering is whether, if I secure 2 London tickets, I can still try for 2 Cardiff tickets later. The FAQs seem to suggest that the code is valid for a total of 4 tickets, and there’s nothing to suggest that couldn’t be 2 tickets for one date and 2 for another.

I guess it might just be a case of seeing what happens. Anyone else thinking of trying for 2x2 tickets?

Random queue number is a bit weird tbh.....I mean what if by some miracle I was first into the waiting room....what 'random' queue number would it give me then, and how would it even know what number to go up to? No point saying I'm 30000th if there's only 20000 max people joining the queue overall.

If there's 20,000 people in the room when the clock strikes the hour you would be allocated a number from 1 to 20,000.

People who join the queue after that point then go to the back of the queue and would be a number over 20,000.

Ah I see.....you don't get a number until the sale starts....at which point everyone in the room gets a random number.

Ta muchly.

[fraybentos1]

Whats the best strategy then? Is there any point in using phone and laptop or will that mess things up as it needs to be both from the same account

Murrayfield is Edinburgh, but I agree. To think that these won't sell out by the end of the verified sale is laughable. The amount of hype, from people on twitter, people on forums and even the media is insane. BBC posted an article yesterday saying 'How to get tickets for upcoming Taylor Swift concerts'. 

The fact that the verified sale email is 'You'll get a code at random' shows how little tickets they believe are going to be left after the Midnights sale. 

Haha whoops!

People will travel to scotland to see her regardless - will certainly not be heaps on twickets under retail days before.

This is quite standard now i think for stadiums in the US

Do people know if there is standing/GA admission at these shows yet, or is it all seated like in the US? Found it very strange that an artist whose main demographic is teenage/young adults only offered seated floor space in America

So in other words the sale starts when the waiting room opens as that's when people start. Odd concept really

Good question. Not thought of that.

I would prefer Cardiff but on a course that day, which leaves it all down to Mrs Q, maybe a friend or 2

I hope its standing. Really not a fan of seated shows, but I guess you get to 'keep' your spot. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Reputation was all seated - but standing is something I love to see....

The T&Cs sent out the first time around stated specifically that you could only use the code once - https://www.tourcitycapture.com/UKPreSaleCodeTerms/

But then this was removed in the T&Cs sent out with the codes - https://www.tourcitycapture.com/UKPreSaleCodeTerms-TM/

Baffled. Gonna have to spend the weekend mulling it over.
