Hi guys, I had the same problem buying tickets and it is frustrating... My husband managed to get us 2 tickets in the very end of lvl4 after spending 2hrs of ticking the same button on the ticketmaster... (real fan:) It is sad, that people are making business out of it, but thats the reality I guess... We were discussing it today and we are prepared to pay more for better seats, though even 65 pounds are a lot for us both, but hey, you don't get to see Michael Buble too often, right?:) The problem is, we don't really have a clue where it is safe to buy, someone told me Seat wave, but what are the chances to actually get the tickets? Don't trust anyone at ebay at all either...

Yes you are correct about not getting to see him often, but as im sure you have, most of us have responsibilites and find it very hard to justify spending hundreds of pounds on one nights entertainment. The price of 2 decent tickets with all the fees came to just short of £500. Thats a rediculous some of money to spend in my opinion or maybe im just not a (real fan) lol but that £500 pays for my flight to las vegas next year

yes there is alot of tickets on there in the 100-150 price range but that tends to be exluding vat handling fee and postage and on some sites that can be upto £40

Hi Craig

I'm a big fan also and like yourself very disappointed. I fortunately got 2 tickets but they are rubbish seats and i'm very unhappy. I have been to all four concerts that Michael has done in Glasgow and have had 2nd row from stage, 8th row from stage and the last 2 have been further and further away obviously the more popular he gets. But like yourself i was on the internet from 8.55am and holding a phone at my ear and kept pressing the redial button which was constantly engaged for 25mins and then gave up,also my friend was trying at the samre time and she got none. I managed to get tickets online at 9.05am but the front rows GG,HH & JJ were for VIP and were £80 and sold out. I was trying to get 5 tickets and as i say, ended up with 2 in row R which is away at the side of the arena and i've been spoiled all the other times. I think its so unfair the way the ticket system works as i've heard that all the agents get to buy there tickets the day before they go on sale. I am hoping that he may decide to put on another night in Glasgow and i can try and get better seats. I know i should be grateful that i have tickets. Maybe he'll add more nights in London and hopefully you will get the chance to go.

Hey Lorraine, thanks for the reply, really chuffed for you that you have been able to get hold of some tickets but as you said its shame the seats arent very good. what reali annoys me that is there is a lot of tickets that have been brought with the sole purpose of purchase is to make money and which is taking tickets out of the hands of his true fans.

Hi, this is my first post and i'm also gutted that I couldn't get tickets for the o2 shows, I have constantly been on ticketmaster but it seems to be a waste of time. I can't believe the prices that they are selling them for on ebay it's a complete rip off, something has GOT to be done about this, it's not fair. :(

Maybe time for a trip to Holland or Belgium...there are still a few tickets left...don't know if there are seats next to each other though...maybe only single seats, but if you decide really really quick you might get tickets for that show!!! Just take a 2 day trip to here. Arrive on the day the concert begins, book a hotel room for 1 night and go back home.

just checked for the Holland show and you can still get single seats for the stalls (seating) they are the most expensive tickets of I believe around €72 ...there are also cheaper tickets.
haven't checked for Belgium but please people....make the trip if you can and decide quick, I'm sure you can get a ticket!

Thought I'd share this with you guys, so you have options.

Love
Nathalie

Hi everyone, I was also disgusted with ticketing last week. How could all the shows be pretty much sold out at 9am? That makes no sense.
Just been looking at his european tour dates, and it looks unlikely that he will add any more? Unless he adds some shows before the first lot of UK shows, it looks as if we have missed out. Anybody ever bought tickets from ebay?

I did manage to buy 2 tickets from ebay, it is such a shame that I had to spend nearly double the amount of the actual ticket price. Some of the prices on ebay were very expensive, I just hope the tickets arrive safely, so I won't get too excited until the tickets are in my hands. <_<

Gosh, you guys have me nervous now. I really hope this doesn't happen when tickets go on sale for the USA tour..although I have a pretty good feeling that it will. :(

It's really not fair at all. My apologizes to you. I hope someone with some authority will have this addressed.
