Twice I had them in my basket, went straight to checkout only to be told it failed when I put my postcode in (not timed out, it said it very quickly). They were still appearing in the basket after that but it was impossible to check them out. I never got to the point to enter my payment details.
Now maybe they were held for 10 once you started the payment process, but having them in your basket meant zilch.
OK.. I just saw the countdown on the top right of the screen. Will admit did not look at it when I put in the postcode. All I know is that I timed out after 10 minutes and I got the message that my tickets had been released.0 -

Not too sure what you mean, the tix are held for 10 minutes, time to complete the transaction. If the transaction is not completed after that time (for any reason), the tix are released. Better than Ticketmaster or other where it's two or three minutes!
Though mine timed out that way but I was surprised to find an e-mail confirming the purchase once I got home!
What I mean is they're not held when in the basket, only after you succesfully reach the checkout. Even though there was probably at the most 1 second between moving from basket to checkout!
I think once you've got the rascals into your basket, that's when the ten minutes should start.
Not that it matters one tiny toss what I think, I didn't get them and that's that!
Still got the ballot. I got lucky with Ashes tickets in the Lords Ballot so, you never know, I could be on a lucky run!0 -
I've had a response from the O2 Blueroom customer service team and they can confirm that the tickets definitely won't go on sale through their site before 9am on 23 July. I know that it's already listed on the site as going on sale on that date but i thought i'd check that a mistake hadn't been made with them being listed as priority tickets. It does state that priority tickets go on sale 48 hours in advance of general sales but not for this gig.0

I was working backstage at Latitude festival this weekend and had a chat about PJ and the astoria show with Ed Byrne. When I mentioned the Empire gig he got hella excited (first he had heard of it) and explained he got tickets for the astoria show because of industry contacts and would get in contact with them again for this show.wash_ wrote:What frustrates me more is the other musicians from the 'industry' getting free tickets and claiming they've been pearl jam fans for years 'ten got me through so much' (not that i'm thinking of a musician in particular *cough* kelly *cough* stereophonics) !!!
How I envy those people! Although to be fair, Ed is a long time PJ fan and seems to have pretty much every PJ tshirt under the sun. Anyone in his position would do the same, sure beats sweating it out over ticket sales.Paul

which is why I long stopped using Seetickets (that and the fact they tried to keep services fees on a fictitious concert)Chime wrote:This kind of thing happens with seetickets ... not exclusive to hmv. Where you get to say how many tickets you want, put in your address and c/c details and then it eventually tells you it couldn't complete your order.
Seem to remember this went on for days with the Astoria tickets ... you could go through the whole order process to then be told to call there helpline as they couldn't process it :evil:
At least with TM once it's in your basket you know you have them as long as you finish payment on time.0 -
Dont bank on that, I recently bought tickets through TM after agreeing to buy particular seats in a specific block but when they came through they were much further back and no I didnt refresh or time out. I complained, they said tough!Pegasus wrote:which is why I long stopped using Seetickets (that and the fact they tried to keep services fees on a fictitious concert)

Same as that!

No, that is not the general sale - that is the link o2 sent out with the email regarding their presale.
o2 use Ticketweb for their presales.Wembley 2000 • Reading 2006 • Paris 2006 • Wembley 2007 • Shepherds Bush 2009 • Manchester 2009 • O2 Arena 2009 • Hyde Park 2010 • Arras 2010 • Manchester 2012 • Manchester II 2012 • Leeds 2014 • Milton Keynes 2014 • Amsterdam 2018 • Amsterdam II 2018 • London 2018 • London II 2018 • Hyde Park II 2022

Okay, sorry. It's just I'm on O2 and I never received an email, and it's now on longer on the Blueroom site.
But O2 don't always use Ticketweb for their presales, sometimes they use Ticketmaster too.
The link isn't working for me at the moment (too many people have clicked it I think). Did you get tickets through that?1992 - London ULU

No, I got mine through HMV's presale at 8:55am today.
That Ticketweb link is definitely for the o2 presale, my girlfriend got it emailed to her this morning.
It opens at 9am on Thursday, but as with this morning I would try a few minutes beforehand.Wembley 2000 • Reading 2006 • Paris 2006 • Wembley 2007 • Shepherds Bush 2009 • Manchester 2009 • O2 Arena 2009 • Hyde Park 2010 • Arras 2010 • Manchester 2012 • Manchester II 2012 • Leeds 2014 • Milton Keynes 2014 • Amsterdam 2018 • Amsterdam II 2018 • London 2018 • London II 2018 • Hyde Park II 2022

Cool, thanks. I got tickets through the HMV pre-sale too.
I was just puzzled why that the gig had suddenly disappeared from the O2's website. I know a lot of people were confused too, so it's good to know it's still going ahead.1992 - London ULU

Right ok, that's not a presale as it's going live at the same as general sale, that's the o2 "priority" tickets for o2 customers only.0 -

You don't need to be an o2 customer to use it. You can order whether you're on Vodafone, Orange, o2 or the moon!! :ugeek:

No, still not heard anything.
The blurb made it sound like they'd be coming a lot sooner...The Ten Club ticket pre-sale will start at 5pm UK local time (9am Pacific) on July 20th and end promptly at 8pm UK local time (12pm Pacific) on July 21st. You must be active as of July 15th, 2009 and your Ten Club address must reside in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) or Ireland to qualify.
Ten Club tickets will be sold as a lottery purchase. You will make your ticket order, but this DOES NOT guarantee you will have tickets to the show. Your credit card will be authorized for the ticket order, but funds will not be collected unless your order is selected. To avoid having immediate funds withheld, we suggest NOT using a debit card for the ticket purchase.
If your ticket order has been selected, your credit card will be charged. Once the pre-sale has ended, a computer-generated random selection process will choose the winning ticket orders and finalize the ticket purchase. You will be notified by email confirmation letting you know whether or not your ticket order was been selected. Confirmations will be sent shortly after the pre-sale has ended.Wembley 2000 • Reading 2006 • Paris 2006 • Wembley 2007 • Shepherds Bush 2009 • Manchester 2009 • O2 Arena 2009 • Hyde Park 2010 • Arras 2010 • Manchester 2012 • Manchester II 2012 • Leeds 2014 • Milton Keynes 2014 • Amsterdam 2018 • Amsterdam II 2018 • London 2018 • London II 2018 • Hyde Park II 2022
