Bradford Tickets - Pre sale.

[JohnnyM]

Having read the thread - i'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I presume the capacity is more than 51? If you dont live in Bradford - book the tickets  on Monday.

That's fine, but the snotty tone is a bit off. Plus the fact that a number of people ARE traveling from abroard, this all smells of mates of mates getting tickets to flog at big money on the night. Folks with no interest in going to the gig, or in NMA come to that........
Very odd, and not ideal to say the least......

As far as I know no mates of mates are being offered tickets...I am friends with a couple of the guys involved and at no point have they said "Do you want a ticket"...everything is being done above board. They are all fans of the band and Im not sure where you get the idea that its a presale to sell to people who are going to sell them on...as I said in my post I wont have a chance of buying them online so its perfect for me and I am a fan (of many years standing) and will be going and queuing and buying them as anyone else in the area can do.  If folk are travelling from abroad surely they will be buying the tickets first so they know they have them due to the restricted number of tickets - which the band have asked for not the venue?    And even if there was no presale it doesnt stop those who want to buy them and then sell them on ebay doing it....and I am sure it will happen but it will not be the folk organising it who will be doing it.  Besides if they just wanted their mates to make a quick buck out of it why announce the presale why not just email their mates and tell them they could buy 50 tickets in advance?

I dont understand what the problem is with the presale?  Or is it fine for those that can access the net to have the chance to buy them?  I can't imagine there will be many left by the time I get home at 6pm......

I have no problem with the presale - just the sarcastic message. It wouldn't be too bad if there was an element of humour in it.

Something has to be done with ticket selling in general though - it makes my blood boil when touts etc snap up tickets to make a fast buck, when true fans are left having to miss out or pay multiple times the odds. I'm not talking about this gig, just every gig nowadays.

On a lighter note, good luck one and all - it'll be an amazing gig

That's the exact point really Barty mate. Anyways, I'll not be queue-tastifried on Saturday, I'll be phoneline frenzied on Monday. Happy days.....

[Barty]

Yeah, same here mate!

Unfortunately sometimes when folk write things down everyone reads them a different way...its the problem with words...they can be the most dangerous things ever depending on how and when you read them.  I am sure the person who wrote it didn't mean to offend.

Touts are abhorrent...and its a shame there is no way of getting round them getting hold of tickets...I guess unless you do it through a place like this where people are registered but then it precludes people who don't take part in forums.  I guess the only way round it would be to sell tickets on the door on the night and straight in entry one ticket per person...but thats not valid for large venues....

Anyway think of me queuing Saturday morning in the lovely Bradford rain

[Stoney]

Are touts something NMA have really suffered from (well not since the early 90s anyway)? 

[Pazza]

Just had an email to say they ain't doing the pre sale now...

[Knutty]

For whatever the reason was for selling 50 tickets in advance, I'm glad, if true Pazza, that it's been abandoned. If the band wanted Bradfordians there to say thank you, then that in itself is a great gesture and should be praised. But they surely know who they are and could have held them back?
Marloes, don't feel guilty mate just get over here, be first in the Que on Saturday at 10am, buy 50 tickets and pay for your airfare on the profits.
 
As for the "sarky" response on facebook , things are often said/typed and taken the wrong way, I misunderstood it too. I now know I have to phone the venue at 10am Saturday for my ticket, cos there not selling them online
Hope all that want to go get a ticket and are happy.
Are there any restrictions on how many tickets you can buy as it's such a low number? I hope so!
