 :o Sold out?!? What the...?!?  :o

Please don't let this be the first NMA gig in HH I am to miss since 1993!!!

@Contour: Any plans to relocate the gig to the Große Freiheit 36?

Hallo Patrice,
we need more than one  :(
So why don`t ask contour (office@contour-music.de)
to change the venue?
Große Freiheit means + 500 more tickets  ;)

I've seen plenty of gigs be upgraded to a bigger venue, but only usually when the two venues are owned by the same people... there might be expensive contract issues otherwise.

Perhaps the point is to buy the tickets before they sell out - they were on sale for several months after all.

Post by: lotus on August 14, 2016, 08:33:54 PM
Why should we not ask for the possibility to change something?
If none of us asks, why should someone try to change anything?

Please, be my guest and ask away  :D

Fair enough, always worth an ask, you never know!

But, and I'm obviously not in the music business, I would suspect that no venue would want to cancel a sold-out show so their competitors could make a lot of money... I would imagine there would be  financial penalties if there wasn't a 'proper' reason (someone got ill etc...) that might negate the extra tickets sold...

I know I'm speaking from a position of ignorance, but contracts are legally binding...

Whatever they want from you - you don't have to give
Whatever they say to you - you don't have to give

Perhaps we (and a lot others) were too silly to buy tickets earlier for this special gig (and we have tickets for other tour dates)-our mistake,  now we only ask now, not later for a possibity to book another venue and sell more tickets  :(

A possible source for spare tickets could be the Unofficial NMA Fan Page on facebook - worth a try at least.

AAArrrghhh, this is so tragic! I just managed to get my day off, the day after the concert, because i have to get up for work at 4.30, which makes extatical dancing and partying very hard, and was about to buy a ticket, because i thought better early than too late. and now it is too late!

thanks for the tipp about facebook. though i won't sign up there because of this, i will tell a friend to keep looking.

any other ideas, where to look for a ticket?

i will go to the venue, to see if somebody is selling.

and i will soon buy tickets for cologne...

As a sidenote, this does often happen at Nottingham for the Christmas gigs, so if you fancy a trip to Robin Hood land, might be worth getting on it?  ???

Remember, it isn't Christmas until you've spent bloody FOREVER queuing up outside Rock City in the freezing cold and, usually, pissing rain...  ::)

I just saw on Contour's FB page that the hardtickets were sold out on July 18.

I wonder who bought all those tickets that early?
Clever people I guess  ;D

Seriously, I doubt that all 1000 tickets were bought by fans within 5 weeks...

And why only Hamburg so early (can`t remember a gig there sold out and/or in such a short time)  ???
Title: Re: Hamburg Markthalle SOLD OUT?!?
Post by: MARKXE on August 18, 2016, 08:27:37 PM
There are tickets available but not at a price I will pay.
Hope this helps out someone, sadly not me. :'(

wow, this smells like a criminal act. 75€ for a ticket. seems they bought many early to sell them for that ridiculous price.

"Die Nachfrage nach Tickets ist dementsprechend groß und die live Veranstaltungen sind mitunter sehr schnell ausverkauft."
it says, that nma are more successful than ever and their concerts are very fast sold out.
yeah, because they buy all the tickets.
the prices for the other shows are also far more expensive.

i don't know yet, what i will do. but 75€ i think i won't pay this greedy bastards.

Post by: lupus225 on August 19, 2016, 03:47:07 AM
Google tickettube and just read the headlines...what a rip off.
Professional resellers stealing our tickets...this is getting more and more annoying.
Title: Re: Hamburg Markthalle SOLD OUT?!?
Post by: Pol on August 19, 2016, 11:43:21 AM
I know everyone is desperate to see the band and the love for the band. But if you do pay the price (ha) it will only escalate and they will buy more and more tickets and charge more money . If you are going and don't have a ticket wait as long as possible (you might miss a song or two) n force the touts to start selling the tickets cheaply

I guess you'd better ask Justin to change the venue  ;) - MARKTHALLE is his all-time-favourite venue, so I'm not sure if he wants to play anywhere else in Hamburg with NMA.  :(  I don't attend any Markthalle gigs anymore as I got badly hurt in the front row several years ago. I've said for years that this venue is far too small- and apart from that quite inconvenient for a NMA gig because of the steps surrounding the dancefloor. I'd only buy a ticket if the gig was relocated to another venue. GROSSE FREIHEIT 36 and DOCKS seem to be available that night - according to their websites. The venue for the STADTPARK Open Air gigs is also quite spacious but mainly used in the summer months. SPORTHALLE would solve the ticket problem but might be a little bit too large.

Reseller offers 5 Hamburg tickets for 67 € on eBay.de >:(
At tickettube, you can order 10 tickets and more for 75 €.

What's going on here?!?
Is that legal?
Title: Re: Hamburg Markthalle SOLD OUT?!?

Two tickets have just been sold for 120 €  >:(

3 ebay tickets were sold for 67 EUR each in the last 24 hrs.
When all 5 are sold, they'll upload the next 5, I bet.
I hope those greedy fuckers choke on their Euros.

By the way @Contour: These auctions are monitored by more than 100 people!

ich denke, ich werde vor ort sein. ein wenig hoffnungslos. es sei denn contour erkennt noch die umstände und sie verlegen das konzi, damit auch all die anderen interessierten rein kommen.
ansonsten trinken wir bier und singen selber!
Title: Re: Hamburg Markthalle SOLD OUT?!?
Post by: lotus on September 05, 2016, 06:21:36 PM
Contour wurde schon gefragt und hat Verlegung verneint - sei zu kostspielig  :(
Also stehen wir wohl gemeinsam da und warten auf das, was sich so tut  :)

How's hunting?

We only need two more tickets - anybody?
Title: Re: Hamburg Markthalle SOLD OUT?!?
Post by: cthulhu on September 25, 2016, 10:09:01 AM
haven't been hunting i must say. are you seeing any chance by searching online for offers?
at the moment i'm a little unfaithful and if i get a visit from a friend that day, i won't go to the markthalle. but i think that would be the only chance to get in.

I was REALLY lucky and got one via ebay for 25 EUR incl. postage :)
I bought another one for 52 EUR...which is pretty "good" as well, most tickets sell for around 70 EUR.
We still need two more though...
