Why not just buy them when they go on sale from the box office?
The 6 shows I'm going to, the tickets were easy to get. Well maybe not Vienna, but there were server problems, still ended up with one though.

Because then you're feeding the scalpers. Mick and Keith.
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

Hi Paulywaul - good job - guess you know that some tickets for Tel Aviv June 4th also waiting at face value for you? wrote to you an e mail about it but it might have gone to the SPAM?

Easier said than done.
Tried all day for Madrid, from opening time and was a fiasco.
No tix since then available apart from scalpers on here and elsewhere like viago etc.

Me too Martha.
I actually received a link from ticketnet.fr at 8.49am but my email spammed it. Be patient though. You'll get into the SdF at a reasonable price if you really want to. Arm yourself with :
1. A Colur Seating & Floor Chart
2. A high res colour copy of a ticket so you don't get sold a dud.
The touts will cave in the end - they always do. It's brinkmanship. One thing's for certain - there will NOT be 80,000 people inside the stadium! In 2007 they tried to manipulate the market and the crowd was c. 50,000 with tickets for all sections on sale officially on the day. It will be fuller this time though.
PaulyWaul's on pricewatch on viagogo...

Good job. Do the airlines work the same way? Sometimes I think so.

Paris show - situation 21 May
VIAGOGO: 112 available, cheapest is £342. Face value of this ticket is €111.50 (£91) - so they're asking nearly FOUR times the price !! F**k O** !!
[www.viagogo.co.uk]
I think we'll wait ............................. !!
SEATWAVE: 49 available, same price. I bet those are the same tickets, just listed on multiple sites.
[www.seatwave.com]
STUBHUB: cannot even be bothered to include a correct seating plan/layout sketch of the venue, so you don't actually know WHAT you'd be buying - if you're stupid enough to go through them
[www.stubhub.co.uk]
And the wait goes on ..................... ho hum !!

PW,
I wasn't there in 2006 but I was there in 2007 and the arrangement you describe was kept exactly the same for 2007. FOS was far too big and I heard that tickets for it were on sale at the box office on the day for 50 EUR despite appearing to be sold out on ticketnet.fr for weeks beforehand.
FWIW, I was seated in row 8 of U6(next to the Players' tunnel) with my parents, the same age as the band, who I'd finally persuaded to come to a gig. The view and sound were excellent, despite a wobbly performance from Keith. It was the show immediately after the trainwreck of Frankfurt and thankfully Ronnie upped his game to compensate, playing a blinder. My parents thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sitting there gave me a good view of general proceedings and the crowd can't have been much more than 50,000, if that.
The thing about barriers between floor standing sections is that they are flexible and can be moved around at the last minute, depending on ticket sales.
I've also heard that some secondary sellers are owned by primary sellers. If that's true how's that for a conflict of interest ?

I have been watching viagogo for quite some time now, seen the BBC documentary etc.
Example: when viagogo lists 255 Berlin standing tickets, as they do right now, that does not mean they really have 255 standing tickets. They list some for 300 or 400 EUR + fees. Then the top end is 3000, 4500 or 5000 EUR for the same type of ticket. That is only to make the cheaper ones look reasonable.
The viagogo Berlin standing tickets sell for about the same price as on German ebay. Prices have been decreasing.
