In update to being waitlisted by Axs for London, Ticketmaster have now waitlisted me for Cardiff and Liverpool, looks like more emails are going out and they'd f*cked it last night. 

I dont know why they even said there was a cutoff on when you were getting email. Merely stating that it shouldve began yesterday and you wouldve been notified prior to the first official sale time and dated shouldve sufficed.

I get the idea of doing it for unusually large purchases like your example of 20

But someone buying 6 tickets spread over multiple different shows feels a bit different 

To curb reselling surely the best method would be to just cancel tickets that appear on resale websites above retail price. Standing might be a little more difficult to do but seated tickets they can just cancel the ticket for that show and that seat if it shows up on a resale website above face value

It all comes down to the criteria they use on how to determine if somebody is reselling or not. But you can get away with reselling in more ways than just putting on stubhub or viagogo. Like you dont have to specify your seat numbers.
They cant cancel an entire rows purchases cause they cant figure out who the seller is. I mean how did Fred get a bunch of orders cancelled if Ally Pally is all standing?

Besides, they were ip address tracking on these sales anyway. I had initially opened a few windows to see which one wouldve gotten the best queue position and then the system put them all in the same spot when it started. Theres software that can put you in the queue in multipl positions and you can make  purchases without consequence. Either that or you have a literal army of people attempting which is pretty common nowadays. The "bots" are really just people.

 

Lets say they did start cancelling orders, there could be 2 scenarios. 1. They outright cancel everything. 2. They only cancel the orders that were made after the ticket limit was breached. Thats a common thing. But lets just see how it all works out.

Not sure they can assume everyone in a household would only need 4 tickets? My friend got the presale midnights code as she ordered and bought the album for the 3 of us - we all live in separate households and we ended up with 3 Edinburgh tickets. But her housemate ( who isn’t part of our group ) also registered with TM and got codes for next week and will also be looking for 3 london tickets but for him, his boyfriend and another friend. So 2 people in same household but completely different groups. Surely they can’t think only 1 person should get tickets - there are lots of shared households?

Safe assumption is 4 people is enough to them. But its tough to police it in general unless you see anomolys. If they see almost every household went over the limit then its possible to chalk it up on not seeing the household policy. Because unless you pulled up 20 tickets under a single name whats odd.  It was easily missed because TM wasnt out there shouting at everyone to obey the ticket limits or face consequences.

If one completely forgot to register and get a code before the deadline, is there anything at all that be done to try and get tickets? (Not tout websites)

Keep a close eye on twickets. And ticketmaster will almost certainly start listing legit tickets people are trying to resell, after this week’s business has concluded. Not much you can do beyond that except enter competitions or something.

There’s also hospitality packages offered by venues depending on your budget. Not sure about the price points for other cities but Anfield has ones starting from £300, which is cheaper than some of the VIP ticket options that provide less bang for your buck.

Surprise song checklist update after Kansas City, with three cities/ten shows left of the US dates:

Plenty of decent album tracks still remaining from Reputation and Lover but not much else worthwhile. If she finishes the domestic leg without playing ME!, that’ll be something.

Behave yourself. Mary's Song? Change? Tell Me Why? Better Than Revenge? Superman? Safe & Sound? Message In A Bottle? I Heart ?? Christmas Tree Farm? Everything Has Changed? I could go on, I really could.

Vibrating excitedly at the news Long Live is getting added into the setlist. I'll need CPR if we get Long Live, State Of Grace, August and Cruel Summer in one show.

Didn't notice Superman was still there, yeah that’s a banger. Won’t be surprised if we never see Better Than Revenge brought out, after the crowd insisted on singing the outdated lyrics to Picture to Burn the other night.

Agree with your pessimism but difficult to know what from 1989 she’d deem essential to add. Unlike with Speak Now, all the big singles are already there. Definitely wouldn’t mind All You Had To Do Was Stay being added at the expense of one of the album tracks from Midnights though.

New Romantics and Clean would be my choice, but I wouldn’t really want to cut anything else!

The question  for TM resale is that will you only be allowed to sell for face or its a free for all.

 

If you missed these sales youll have to simply wait it out. There were ticket releases for every u. S show the week of a gig so far but you had to have a verified code to even try to purchase. And im sure as we all know, life happens. People have to cancel and such.

Tm UK is linked to the price you paid

    • As usual, despite some issues I had a blast and will be back next year because they keep delivering incredible lineups. My top 10:  mbv The Cure Viagra Boys Kneecap Little Simz The xx Geese Blood Orange Big Thief Rilo Kiley The top 3 are interchangeable as all 3 were 10/10 sets for me. I'd guess Massive Attack would've been in my top 5, so, naively I'll hope they're on the 2027 poster lol. 5th time's the charm, eh?
    • Right, I know this is going to divide opinion more than a secret set announcement, but it’s time we settled the most important question in festival history: What is the best sauce?   I’ve spent years researching this. Years. Countless meals. Countless food stalls. Countless chips consumed in fields while standing in a queue for a toilet that looked like it had survived several geological eras. And after all that, I still find myself returning to the same question.   Is it ketchup? No. Not like him.   Is it mayonnaise? No. Not like him.   Is it garlic mayo? Closer. But not like him.   Is it sweet chilli? A respectable contender. Yet still not like him.   Is it curry sauce? Potentially. But also not like him.   The turning point in my sauce journey came at Glastonbury. Specifically, near the legendary Goan fish curry stall. There I was, covered in approximately six different layers of dust, sunscreen, and regret, enjoying one of the greatest festival meals ever created. The sauce situation was immaculate. Balanced. Complex. Life-affirming.   Meanwhile, nearby, I witnessed something that permanently altered my understanding of both festivals and humanity.   A man was watching Slowdive with a crutch up his bum.   Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Not artistically.   Actually standing there, watching Slowdive, with a crutch up his bum. And as I looked at him, silhouetted against the evening sky while dreamy guitars echoed across the field, I realised something important. The best sauce should aspire to greatness. Not like him. It should bring people together. Not like him. It should enhance the experience. Not like him. It should complement the main event. Not like him. It should be memorable. Though admittedly, like him. But preferably not like him.   This brings me to the Bucket Classification System.   For those unfamiliar, sauces can be divided into three categories.   Bucket I. Bucket I is the elite tier. The headliners. The sauces that could close the Pyramid Stage on a Sunday night and nobody would complain. These are sauces that elevate food beyond its natural limitations. A good garlic mayo belongs in Bucket I. A properly executed festival curry sauce belongs in Bucket I. Certain chilli sauces belong in Bucket I. The sauce equivalent of arriving at your tent and discovering someone has actually put it up correctly. Not like him.   Bucket II. Bucket II is respectable. Reliable. Dependable. Not spectacular, but solid. This is where standard ketchup often lives. A decent BBQ sauce. A reasonable burger sauce. The sort of sauces that show up, do their job, and go home. Unlike him. Not like him. Very much not like him.   Bucket III. Now we enter dangerous territory. Bucket III is where disappointing sauces go. Watery sauces. Sauces that taste vaguely of administrative errors. Sauces that appear to have been diluted with rainwater collected from a collapsed gazebo. The sauces that make you question your choices. The sauces that look at a perfectly good portion of chips and think, “How can I make this worse?” Like the butter chicken sauce I got served at the We Are Stupid Dosas stand. Or the sizzling beef burrito served with potato wedge sauce. These belong in Bucket III. Not like him. Although possibly exactly like him. It’s difficult to say.   I think the real test of a sauce is whether you’d cross a festival site specifically to get it. Would you leave your friends? Would you miss part of a set? Would you navigate through crowds of people dressed as bananas, pirates, and traffic cones? Would you walk from one side of the site to the other? If the answer is yes, then we’re talking Bucket I territory. If the answer is maybe, we’re looking at Bucket II. If the answer is no, straight into Bucket III. No appeal. No review process. No exceptions. Not like him.   I return often to that moment at the Goan fish curry stall. The food. The atmosphere. The music. The philosophical questions. The mysterious Slowdive spectator. Some people search for meaning in books. Some search for meaning in religion. Some search for meaning in art. I search for meaning in sauce rankings. Not like him.   And every year the evidence grows. Every year Bucket I becomes more refined. Every year Bucket II becomes more competitive. Every year Bucket III becomes more crowded.   And every year I remember the man watching Slowdive with a crutch up his bum and remind myself that while festival experiences may vary wildly, good sauce remains eternal.   Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him.   So my current rankings are: Bucket I: Garlic mayo Proper curry sauce Premium chilli sauce Exceptional festival-exclusive mystery sauces   Bucket II: Ketchup BBQ sauce Burger sauce Sweet chilli   Bucket III: The watery unidentified substances occasionally found beside chips Anything described as “light” but tasting of sadness Any sauce that somehow makes food drier Sizzling beef burrito     Debate below. And before anyone asks: no, the crutch was not a sauce. At least I hope not. Not like him.
    • Now we're over for another year - headliner predictions time: Phoebe Bridgers Rosalia Bjork Doechii The Strokes Tame Impala Massive Attack   And the reunion band: Boards of Canada
    • €245->275 + fees early bird for 2025 ticket holders €265->295 + fees for non-2025 ticket holders My guess is they add a lot (another 30 euros) but keep it under 300 for the optics.
