Thanks for the replies so far (I won't name you all individually, but do appreciate all of you replying). Tom, I'd complete forgotten the Ronnie/Womack connection, that's really useful (though had thought about the Womack collaboration in the Dirty Work sessions).

Important to recognise that there are two different products being talked about here: 1) Start Me Up package is a specific item including a pit ticket, a lithograph and other merchandise. I can't remember if it includes early entry or not. 2) 'Platinum tickets' are just an ordinary ticket sold at a higher price (which changes according to demand). No merchandise and no early entr

Quotegrzegorz67 As a veteran of 6 Lucky Dips (wow!) did you see any solo Lucky dippers? What happens to them? If they haven't been able to find a guest are they still allowed to collect one ticket but not the other? It must happen sometimes. I went in solo to Berlin 2014. It was irritating (to me) but not a problem. Both tickets were in an envelope, I just used one. syrel

I have used it for years without problem then, last week, every time I try to open a WT link in FF, FF hangs (and increases its memory usage to all available memory).

Paris ticket buying was farcical this morning, but I finally got some tickets and my tour is now set: 1 pit (Stockholm), 3 Golden Circle (Zurich, Lucca and Paris 25th), 2 Lucky Dip (Munich and Dusseldorf) and 1 GA (Paris 22nd). If anyone has a spare Fosse Or for Paris 22nd, please contact me. Likewise, if anyone wants one of my Lucky Dips for Munich and Dusseldorf (at face). syrel

Well I've been involved in some farcical ticket selling processes in my time, but this one is right up there. TM started selling at 9.58 but seemingly did not have anything other than VIP packages (was literally telling me zero tickets available in other categories). Uarena continually crashing. Had LD tickets, crashed, had Fosse ticket, crashed, had LD ticket crashed... No Pit tickets in

Forum: Tell Me

Quotegotdablouse Well the PIT is already sold out so "dynamic pricing" probably won't help much ;-) Not sure I believe that; they always have extra tickets that they can add into the pool, at a higher price.
Forum: Tell Me

Remember, these are dynamically priced - if they don't sell at 850E, the price will drop. They are obviously expecting demand for Paris to be high (probably correctly). On the TM site, there is a map where you can choose your own platinum seat - see if this link works: TM they are not very good tickets as far as I'm concerned! syrel

I have bought Lucky Dips for Munich and Dusseldorf and am travelling on my own, so have a spare ticket for each. Face value is 65 Euros for Munich and 70 Euros for Dusseldorf. I will want payment (easiest via paypal?) in advance because last time I had a spare LD (Berlin 14) I was let down at the last minute and ended up having to pay for both. However, obviously there is no ticket to send

Quotetimbernardis OK I have some questions about Pit tickets, let's see if I have this right: there are regular Pit tickets in the range of 200-400 euros there are those which are part of a VIP/package which start at 750 euros but can go higher, various categories of VIP/package tix which can go how high? is a package necessarily a VIP package, are they one and the same? what do
Forum: Tell Me

As well as Pit as part of 'Start Me Up' VIP packages, some venues (Stockholm, a least) are also selling Pit tickets as part of their 'platinum' offerings. This may be just the shows being sold by Ticketmaster, as I think Platinum tickets is a TM invention - they are high priced premium tickets (ie good seats) sold at dynamic pricing (ie they start at a high price, start droppi
