Astorians with tickets

I doubt the prices will go down Ross, but I think we'll get em for about £200 each going off the last couple of days

Um... I checked in on the astoria sticky on the porch and people have said that seetickets have been removing ebay listings of tickets but that they're reserved for customer services (they won't be re-listing them). People have been phoning up and asking apparently (last time I checked)
I don't know if that's why they're coming up sometimes and then disappearing again

Anyways, I'm going with 2 cameras woop!

Yeah I'm one of the people who phoned up last time seetickets started showing the tickets as available. Must be some glitch in their website but today is the third time I've been frantically filling in my details :(

I haven't really looked for Reading tickets on ebay but when I search "Pearl Jam Astoria" there is a pair for the Sunday finishing in about 18 hours that are still cheap. Don't know how frantic it will get close to the end though!

Cool, if you can get tickets from here Chime, I'm in.....!!

I keep checking a few times everyday but think for the Astoria gig it is unlikey as people know how much they are going for on e-bay.

I've still got my fingers crossed for you that your ticket comes through!!

I didn't get tickets for Reading or Leeds because i couldn't afford it, and i can't afford the price they're going for on ebay.

My girlfriend and I decided to wait until nearer the time and then check ebay again. I'll be in a job over summer so i'll have the money to afford it. Will ebay prices go down perhaps?

Its hard to say, as this has been the fastest selling Reading festival EVER.

A load of people I know tried and failed to get some (its just good Karma for me these last few weeks - Radiohead 2 gigs at Blackpool, Astoria x 2, Reading x2 (for me), and Leeds x2 (for my son), I feel very lucky)

Meanfiddler have said they are hopefull that they will have extra weekend tickets for both festivals (check the website) in May-ish. I really dont fancy the idea of eBay for something like this....too risky.

If it was me I would probably try outside the festival on the first day. (if I didnt get any 'officially').

I once had 4 day tickets (2 each Fri and Sat), and managed to swap for 2 weekend tickets on the Friday (+ the cost of another 2 day tickets).

I thought that was pretty ok.

It will be cheaper than eBay at the moment for sure. You can ALWAYS get tickets outside ANY gig.

Good luck

That's true. There are some which are really cheap with like 9hrs and i'm talking like £10 a pair. But then they just go mad in the last few minutes. Ah well, can't afford them now so there's no point in me looking any more!

I can't believe in 2 days time we'll all be sitting here going.... this time next week!
(I was gonna avoid the Peter Kay gag but everyone does it!)

I might have a spare Reading ticket - not sure yet... but will keep you posted!

Might do... could just be hysteria around the seller but I've put in a paypal dispute and paid on cc so should get money back either way... it's just getting hold of another ticket!!!!

Well if you can find a pair for a reasonable price I can go to about £200 for a ticket. As said on the other thread I nearly ordered one of this guys but they were gone by the time I sorted the money and can't really afford more.

Last time I checked Gumtree loads of people trying to buy and none for sale.

It's another of the websites I'm checking!

They are mostly going for more than that plus a little wary of ebay now but yeah happy to split a pair of tickets if you find something too...

Thanks for your comments everyone... the contrast between being so hyped and so gutted is shite but still trying... Chime - £200 ain't cutting it on ebay mate, will either have to go higher or try on the night...

i cant begin to think how you must be feeling at this Dave... pile o' shit i'd imagine... sorry buddy... if you get your money back then definitely come down and try on the night... it'd be nice to meet you

yeah... if you get your money back try on the night... the touts usually still have a couple of tickets they need to get rid off a few minutes into the show...
it might cause you to miss the opening song or maybe some more but i'm sure you'll get in for much less than what they are going on ebay now...
or there might be nice fans who still have spares and give them away to desperate people who aren't rich enough to buy from touts...
it's worth a try... you might get lucky...

Posted this before, but, were do you reckon the band are staying after the gig? would they go hanging out out on the town somewere?

they are more than welcome to join us, obviously!

but seriously, i think they just hang out with family and friends and head back to the hotel... or have dinner with pete townshend
the main purpose of their trip is to talk to the european press so they will be quite busy most of their time in london... it might be more difficult for ed to go out in public but i'm sure they'll find some time to do random stuff... i can picture jeff going to tate modern or mike browsing the small guitar shops in denmark street... or just sight seeing...

i guess there's only a very small chance of bumping into them in the streets and we don't want to come of as stalkerish anyway

oooohh it was cool

although i never discussed their home nation really

that last bit it so true... i bet there are people who know what Ed was wearing at the 1997 Showbox gig..... he'd be utterly aghast
