    surely it doesn't take much work to have N tickets for sale and when someone puts 2 in their basket the system says ah-ha! now there are N-2 tickets left, does it ? :roll:

    jrd you hit the nail on the head there with the sainsburys analogy! I rang ticketweb earlier to complain about this and the reason I was given was that while the tickets may have been in my shopping cart somebody else may also have had THE SAME TICKETS in their shopping cart and put their payment details through before me! That makes no sense to me! I mean as you said its surely a simple matter of stock control- as people add two tickets to their shopping cart take 2 off the amount available and if that person doesn't put their payment through in the 15mins allocated- (which is also bullshit as I did this and when I pressed confirm order it told me there were no tickets left!)- then add the two tickets back to the number thats available. Its really not rocket science! :x :x :x :roll: :roll:

    This totally defeats the purpose of the 10 or 15minutes you have to complete your transaction. When you get your tickets, they should be kept for you until your 10 minutes are up - at least Ticketmaster actually manage to do this :roll: So then, the tickets get re-distributed to those next in the queue - hence the queuing system.

    Not happy... lost out in the 10c lottery, got stitched up by HMV and then got held up on the way to work by traffic accident. Took 2.5 hours to get to work!
    Called my mate and he had the same problem with TicketWeb as everyone else.
    Thought he'd bought tickets then an 'error' came up, so he reapplied and the "computer says NO!" as he had already had his allocation... waited for a confirmation email (nothing so far!)
    I have now paid £200 on ebay for a ticket. The seller has SIX tickets!!
    Fed up and skint!

    One thing I have noticed, is that there are no LEVEL ONE tickets for sale. Who has those?
    My guess is record industry plebs.

    Hmmm that's a valid point, I haven't seen any Level 1 tickets on sale through any of the various channels... HMV was standing or Level 2, 10c was standing, ticketweb this morning was level 2 or level 3. There are no Level 1's on eBay. Maybe there's another twist to this tale?

    the thing that really gets me is that if you have tickets in your basket how can they then sell out ? i mean, if i go to Sainsburys and put two cans of beer in it and go to the checkout they don't say "sorry, we've sold out of beer" do they... ? harrrrumph... :x :?:

    surely it doesn't take much work to have N tickets for sale and when someone puts 2 in their basket the system says ah-ha! now there are N-2 tickets left, does it ? :roll:

    Sainsburys IT Helpdesk: Have you tried putting beer in your basket and then taking it out again...? ;)

    NOBODY takes beer out of my basket once it's gone in!!!

    exactly - it's a queue not a fecking let's see who can type their details in fastest (with shakey hands and pounding heart)!

    I guess that the stalls standing area is actually Level 1 and the first balcony is Level 2 and so on.

    Actually Shepherd's Bush Empire does has three balconies, I know because I've had tickets for all of them (Level 3 being called "The Gods" because it is so high up). The area in front of the stage is called the Stalls and then, like I said before, there's three balconies in addition to that. Hope that helps!

    EEK way too high up...!

    How mad, I wonder why they don't show it on the seating plan? Maybe they are worried people won't buy tickets!
