What is the difference...

Excuse my ignorance...
What is the difference between the 10c ticket and a normal ticket if there is no early entry for 10c tickets?
Isn't it the same then if you just queue early enough (I mean in the terms of where you end up standing)?
Thanks for enlightening me ;)
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    Good question.
    Im not sure actually. I guess it is simply a way for you to secure the tickets and be done with it. But then again you have to stand in line just to pick it up. Then again to get into the venue...

    What shows are you doing?

    no ticket company surcharges... in other words, your ticket is going to be cheaper

    For setaed tickets I think there is a difference as reserved tickets are allocated by seniority.
    Also, for venues like London, I think they can go sold out easily as reselling is legal in UK (I beleive)

    So, basically that...

    cheers,

    oh no it isn't, it's actually more expensive through 10c in Europe..been like that for the last 3 tours at least.. except before we were getting something (early entry) for it.

    proof: TM list price for Manchester as £37.50..even if you add £5 fee per ticket (which is the norm for them) and £4.95 for the 'shipping' for a pair, that ends up at £90 the pair... which is less than the very best exchange rate will charge you for the $134 of the 10c price.
    And people quoted tickets face €15 cheaper for Berlin (not even sure there's fees in Germany!)...though at least there's early entry there.

    there's NO advantage (and in the case of the O2 a big disadvantage at not having the tickets in hand early, so you can't queue early because you won't know where to queue) apart from the fact you get a ticket (which can be hard in London sometimes).

    now most fanclubs don't give you more than that, but at least you don't pay more either :roll:
