I was on ticketmaster @ 9am on the dot with both my legacy and O2 codes and did not get one single decent seat. It makes a mockery of being a legacy member.

If possible could those of you who did get floor seats in block A and are legacy members post on here where those seats are as I feel we as fans have been had.

ie If you did get decent seats in block A are they 1st row?

NickB

Ditto. Absolutely rubbish seats!

A3 N 36 and 37. And A3 K 44. Impossible to buy more than 2 tix at the same time. There were not sufficent adjacent tix available, according to the message I got.

i was offered something in A1 but it rejected my credit card for unknown reasons.
so i'm not gonna think about it anymore - but for the record: they were offered.

I didn't buy any. I refuse to sit in tiered seating and buy another membership, so I will wait until friday.

Can't believe how we have all been shafted...

What's your favourite flavour?...........Cherry Red!!

you haven't 'all been shafted' this is standard practice. Once the goos seats get kicked back they will be released, just keep monitoring TM. All of the seas are not released at the same time to the same groups of people.

The availability for Legacy members was pathetic and people were shafted. No tickets at all on the floor for the Platinum members is bad but they can ask for a refund. Hang fire everyone but we were shafted.

not for legacy tickets in the front few rows it isnt - see the German sales. It also wasnt for Twickenham last year. I got A4 firth row right away.

You shouldnt have to keep monitoring TM for hours or days on end when youve paid $100 for a f***ing presale access waiting for the offchance that they'll finally release them. It entirely defeats the purpose of a presale as its meant to take that circle jerk out of the equation for getting tickets

If thats not being shafted, I dont know what it will take for some people to admit it.

I refuse to buy the memebership on principle and will obviously take my chances on friday and also after last year at cardiff sitting in the nose bleeds i will only go for floor seating and now the feeling is that i could miss out alltogether.

My hope is that someone in the organisation will read this and then sort something out. Unlikely I know.

I just hope my unused legacy code will work for the 3rd O2 date.

NickB.

Me too odean73, as much as I'll love to see them in London, I won't pay 150£ + membership....and it's even in the tiers.
Why couldn't they come up with some nice sollution for their fanbase, like last year?
I keep my fingers/legs/teeth crossed for the Aug 25th show, but it doesn't look promising.

Erik i am just praying that they do the same as last year either for the 23 or hopefully the 25th.

I reckon my mrs is praying that i dont go and save a load of money & time, and still trying to persuade her to look at paris or almeria and she is a stones fan and been to a few concerts!

Again a proof that the stones, especially since this tour, don't give a fuk about the real fans. They could easily work out a system where some 500 people, who pay for a membership, get good seats at a "normal" price

Still offering 407 Row D £100 on free O2 code

407 for 100£?????????

They really want me to buy this shit:

Anyway, is the code only good for one day?

I didn't

I got B3 row 2 which I dropped. Then I got C2 row 1, which might have been nice, but I want to be in A1 or A3, so also dropped. The rest was off the floor.

Got A3 row P for 23rd. Not great, not bad. I wait for other tickets...

Peter, are you a legacy or platinum member?
What´s the secret?

Anyone who got in A was bloody lucky this morning. In the end I had to settle on B. Mostly it was throwing up C's and then stalls - for £150!!! You've got to be joking.

The one thing to remember is that this is a smaller venue so there are less people and I guess the sections are probably smaller? Anyone know how the physical size of this venue compares to a football stadium?

Anyway, I'm fairly happy with a B block on the 23rd and GA to the IOW. If they release some seats later on to the 21st or even 25th then I might consider it but I'm trying to curb my spending.

Hmmm, Perhaps I should go to Paris this year...

i have poor quality seats- but i'm very much looking forward to receiving the fanclub DVD and embroidered hat.

LOL

Post of the day!

After having seen 17 shows so far on this tour this is what I have experienced
with seated floors.

Nearly all of the (good) seats in front were filled with coporate people, friends and family and people with VIP passes.

So in my opinion there are three possibilities to get good seats:

1. be lucky and get one of the few left
2. pay big bucks for a broker to get tix
3. pay big bucks for organized travels.

Beside that they are the greatest R'n'R band in the world they're also the biggest money making machine in the world.

That's the reality. We have to accept it.

Well, not quite, I got three tix in row 2 of C2 with my Platinum membership.
Not too impressed at the time, but having seen what was on offer to the Legacy members, I feel maybe I didn't do so bad this time.

How many people thought they got a 'good deal' with the O2 presale, I wonder?

Lee

as i'm not an O2 customer, it could be argued, i got a good deal

Perhaps you will become an O2 customer because of it!

OK I'll moan too..Up all fricken night for seats that are good, but hardly worth the legacy code...

But hey, I'm coming to London and will have a great time...Obviously will be on debtor's row, but ya only live once

Legacy.

I took the A3 row P for the 23rd as I didn't want the code to become obsolete.

I hope I get some decent tickets for the 21st at a later stage.

There's no sectret.

will have to ditch expensive luxuries like mobile phones and food,
to pay for these tickets!

Some lawyers do fight for their rights. Have forgotten why, but apparently they weren't allowed to stand up......
