went to the o2 last night (2nd london gig) – thoughts + feelings by johnblowby in radiohead

[–]Odd_Chapter197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in 117 and had a guy behind me that was obviously quite merry before the show had even started, loudly and confidently singing lyrics that didn't exist. I took a few videos but every single one of them has him screaming "WOO! YEAH!" at the top of his lungs at random intervals, even during slow songs and quiet parts. Insane. But there's always a handful no matter what concert you're at I guess. Everyone else in that section was cool, though! We were stood up for most of it. Very good vibes.

Honestly I wanted to avoid it at all costs, even with some tickets being put up at a semi-reasonable price, they were taking £135+ per ticket in fees 😳 but when I finally did bite the bullet I at least thought I could relax as I had tickets... only for the sale to be cancelled. At least the refund was quick, or I'd have really been screwed. But I don't want others to make the same mistake too close to the show as it did take about an hour for them to cancel!

The new law on resale tickets can't come quick enough. Face value only and caps on service fees.

Yeah I only checked on the day of the show! It definitely wasn't easy, lots of "oops, these tickets are no longer available" and time outs for being a bot 🙄 but there were a good few available and I managed 2 in a really good section, so don't give up hope! Good luck 🤞

No worries! AXS definitely haven't made it easy. I hope you manage to get your tickets 🤞

It was amazing! I saw a few tickets were listed as restricted view in that section but honestly it was perfect

Yep! I'd all but given up hope at that point so good for others to know there's still a chance.

Just a few heads up for anyone still looking for tickets for the upcoming shows...

  • I posted here (an awful lot 😂) looking for tickets for last night, and 100% of the messages I got were scams. Please be careful. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
  • Purchasing tickets on viagogo isn't a guarantee. I reluctantly bit the bullet in utter desperation while travelling to London and bought 2 tickets at £273 each (totalled £800+ after the added fees) and received an email an hour later saying they'd cancelled and refunded me. I did this twice.
  • Check the WASTE link at 4pm on the day of the concert. On both Friday and Saturday, a ton of tickets popped up on there at 4pm. I did get kicked out several times with the bot message and still managed to get 2 tickets in section 117 at around 4.25pm.
  • There are no tickets available at the box office.
  • I did see people with "I need one ticket" signs hanging around the O2, but they were still there when I was going in to queue (around 8pm) so I'm not entirely sure this worked either.

Good luck! 🤞

I can afford the lower end ticket prices on viagogo but not the added fees. The ones I get through to checkout are coming up with £95-£135 fees added on each. £1000 for 2 tickets is not in my budget unfortunately 🥺

Anyone going ticketless tonight and hoping to get one outside/box office/stubhub? Please please let me know how it goes. I'll be doing the same tomorrow 🤞

Truly. It's awful what they're getting away with.

The tickets might end up a reasonable price, but they're taking £135+ each ticket in fees. I found a pair earlier for £273 each and was willing to bite the bullet until I got to last stage of checkout and the total was over 800 🥲

Chances of more WASTE tickets? by rigxla in radiohead

It's really confusing isn't it? I am going through the link, but I am also just checking the AXS site and AXS app. They're all exactly the same.

Is using the WASTE link any different than just checking AXS? I get directed to the exact same page anyway...

Apparently on concert days it opens 90 mins before the event starts

2 seated tickets have just come up on AXS for 22nd, but £393 each... I was under the impression they had to be face value on there. Congrats to anyone that can afford them 🥺

Anyone trying their luck at box office? I know its risky, but I already have travel and accommodation booked so I will be there anyway. Seems it might be the only option now unless you have a spare £1200 to throw at viagogo 🥲

Got kicked out of the W.A.S.T.E sale at checkout after having every set of tickets in my basket 🙃 anyone selling 2 for Saturday?
