It is a risk you take. Simple as that.


But I am not going to worry about something that will happen no sooner than 10 months away from now. I will see when my tickets arrive and if I dont have them a week before I leave I will start calling. And maybe have them shipped to my hotel or something.

yes, you are right. It IS a risk. But a good thing is that viagogo guarantee that you will receive your tickets in time. At least I have read that some people received their tix in 3 weeks before the show (from ticketmaster). So, the chances are bigger :D

[blue_eyed_belle]

I believe that the key to this is DON'T PANIC YET!! We're still months away!

I like a little panic every once in a while - makes me feel alive :evil:

[Pentum]

Maybe it's like this, if viagogo DONT get ticket from the seller, then the seller won't get their money from viagogo that we gave viagogo and we will get it back.

All wrong?

[StaceyMJ]

Yeah that's how it works. Or they will offer similar or better seats, but I'm not sure how that works.

[Pentum]

Okay.. Because my friends father orderet it, and I asked when we get the tickets. He said about within a week. We won't get it, so I'll just tell him how it actually works.

:)

[michaela_eve]

Maybe just wait until everyone who bought ticket from viagogo receive their tickets and send their info here?

i want to buy from viagogo too but really confuse about it too since i am overseas. try to email viagogo but they keep reply the same thing that if we dont receive,they will refund etc...
i want my ticket!! i dont care about the money as much as i want the ticket >"<

[Merites]

i want my ticket!! i dont care about the money as much as i want the ticket >"<
yes, money is no the most important thing in this case.. :)
Well, actually I think that everything will be OK. Viagogo is the official partner, not ebay. They will do their best, I really think so. They see from what country you are and will send tix earlier to the seller. The worst thing could happen - you will seat in the another row or sector. Not like you order A2 and seat in 410 :D but the closest block like B1-B2.

[BigDaddy]

DOGGONE IT BAYBEH!!!!!!!!!!! I went and got a ticket from viagogo tonight, so I finally have a ticket. It's yet to be confirmed of course, but at this point in time it's the most reliable sort of transaction I can make!

It's a laff that the booking fee costs MORE than the face value itself! But I feel like I've just done the deal of the century in a way. :lol:

For anyone thinking of buying thru viagogo go here for a 5% discount off the price: (http://www.thewonderwall.com/tickets/blog/2009/03/20/use-our-viagogo-5-discount-code-voucher-to-claim-money-off-michael-jackson-and-u2-tickets/ ) This offer is only until April 19th. Oh well, 5% is better than nothing.

So.... I hope This Is It! :D xxx

[Pentum]

Ah, damn, I didn't know about that 5% thing!


Aaaah! Well, congrats anyway :D

[Dimitris]

Maybe it's like this, if viagogo DONT get ticket from the seller, then the seller won't get their money from viagogo that we gave viagogo and we will get it back.

All wrong?

no all wrong...

seller send the ticket directly to buyer

give the tracking number to viagogo and gets the money

if the ticket not arrive in time or not at all,
viagogo will not give the money back...

[Nachtspicht]

Partially wrong and partially right.

Viagogo wil not pay the seller untill the buyer confirms receivement of the tickets.

hmmm...i see
so they will send to us earlier because they know that i live very far and need extra time to receive the ticket?something like that?
still waiting to some reducing price in viagogo though...keep checking on that.

i still need to get my visa too >"< its really hard to get it from my country. so complicated

[Pentum]

Do I need to log onto viagogo then use the code to see where the ticket is, or.. ? because i dont know the username and password, only the code that says where it is.

oh, in my country there are BIG problems with visa too. It is SO hard to get it :(a plenty of documents, time and nerves :(

i am sure that on viagogo will be lower prices later :)

[MJJ2theMAX]

yeah but as has been reported in the papers, it was even if The Times, Ticketmaster gave alot of tickets DIRECTLY to viagogo. therefore for ALOT of their tickets.. there is no seller, Viagogo got the tickets direct so there is a very slim chance of there being a problem

[Ágnes]

i guess these are those tickets, that are available for almost every dates.(same blocks, rows)
For example i have realised, that they have for almost all dates A2 row G, A2 row J, A3 row G etc.

[bublemjj47]

If each person can buy up to 4 tickets max. How can someone sell up to 6 ticket on Viagogo. I don't get it, is it reliable

[MJJ2theMAX]

read my post above. ticketmaster directly gave viagogo tickets as they are an official distributor and have a deal so ticketmaster get slice of profits from the inflated prices. notice the clear patterns in the rows they are selling. its not a coincidence

[chocabloc]

i think £300-350 for 7th row is pretty good considering they were on ebay for £12,000 -£200 000 that nobody would ever pay,glad i got mine last week ,fans behind me would of paid £850 for a vip ticket and the rows in front of me go up by a thousand a line,so if anyone if 50/50 whether to get a good floor ticket dont wait about,watch the motown billie jean performance first 10 rows is very close to the action,plus if viagogo are getting them directlyfrom AEG your getting the best available,and as time ticks down these will get snapped up quick.

[Dangerous1991]

This has probably been asked on here already but dont fancy reading through 18 pages.

Why have some tickets for sale got the seat numbers and some haven't?

[Ágnes]

i think those do not have seat nr that come directly from AEG.

[BmB_Mj]

i think those do not have seat nr that come directly from AEG.

I think you're wrong... because I bought a ticket from Viagogo and it doesn't have any seat number, and it comes from some seller...

[Ágnes]

I think you're wrong... because I bought a ticket from Viagogo and it doesn't have any seat number, and it comes from some seller...
i see, but how do you know that it comes from seller?

i was just thinking that it would be a good "trick" for them to sell first the more exp tickets for example to block A2, B2 etc... and they can do it easier when they do not tell the seat nr. for example when i bought my ticket off viagogo first i was thinking of buying one in block A1...but since i did not know the seat nr. i choose the same row but in A2 (of course it was more exp..) but in this case at least i do not risk to sit totally at the side.

[michaela_eve]

And the price is keep going down now...just a bit...but not as expensive as the first days.
will go to take care of my visa on june...and buy from viagogo soon as i get my visa
i hope i still got a chance to buy good seat

Because when I bought it , viagogo told me to wait 'till the seller confirms the deal :)

Very interesting read! Thank you!

But don't let this scare you guys, I am convinced that most of the deals on Viagogo are correct really. And whatever you do, never EVER deal with somebody that does not want to use the Viagogo site for money transfer.

[Ágnes]

ya that is like that when you buy any ticket off viagogo. you have to wait for the 2nd confirmation e-mail....they call it "seller" no matter who it is (AEG, or really a 2nd person), it is just they do not tell you who the exact seller is...

[billyjean1]

Viagogo and seatwave are all touts really, and i know people who have had problems with seatwave getting madonna tix

So as long as the deal made with Viagogo and not directly to the seller, we will be safe. right?

[BmB_Mj]

The guys who's asking about the cardholder whether he/she should be present at the event


well, that's what I got from Viagogo customer Services as an answer to my question

Thank you for contacting us at Viagogo.
once you have paid for the tickets you will receive them at the delivery adress of your choice, the credit card holder has nothing to do.

Best regards
Customer Service


so.. be happy and feel free :D :D

ummmm..

Could it be right, but in case I'll get my ticket from AEG,this would be safer for me.. right ?

[ABM]

You'll find that there are tickets being sold in batches of 6 on viagogo. I'm under the impression that these are the ones which were sold off directly from AEG as they seems to come up quite frequently on various dates. It can't be individuals selling sets of tickets like that as as we're all aware, AEG have set a limitation on the amount we can buy.

Just a thought :)

[Ágnes]

ummmm..

Could it be right, but in case I'll get my ticket from AEG,this would be safer for me.. right ?

yeah that would be safer imo ;)
and btw did you receive that confirmation e-mail (the 2nd) one quite quick? Because i did in less then 30 minutes...and i think with those AEG tickets, the 2nd confirmation e-mail came quicker

Yeah I wondered about that because I bought a ticket off there that was in a listing that said up to 6 so I thought it would be an AEG listing but I didn't get the second email for about 24 hours so I dunno now?

[Ágnes]

was it maybe on the weekend? i dunno how they work there....i ordered mine in the mid on some working day maybe that is why it came quick. and what was your category? something that they had for all dates?

[StaceyMJ]

I ordered it at about 10pm one night and I got the second email at about 8pm the next day. It was A1 row G which is on most dates...I dunno what to think.

maybe it is because you ordered it at night...and they send the confirmation back "manually" and they had a lot to do...and maybe when i ordered there was not many orders and they could do it quick.

some people received it 1 or 2 days after,,,

[StaceyMJ]

maybe it is because you ordered it at night...and they send the confirmation back "manually" and they had a lot to do...and maybe when i ordered there was not many orders and they could do it quick.

Yeah who knows? To be honest they seem to be quite secretive over which tickets are AEG's and which ones are independant sellers. I emailed them about the listings with six tickets available because of the 4 ticket limit and they kind of sidestepped the issue and didn't answer what I'd asked so maybe they're trying to disguise them or something. I dunno, just a feeling I got from them!

[BmB_Mj]

shall I ask them about whether I'm getting my ticket from some seller, or from AGE ?!

[StaceyMJ]

You could but I'm not sure whether they'd tell you or not, if you do let us know what they say.

[BmB_Mj]

I sent them a question, hope they'd tell

I'll let ya know if they say so

[StaceyMJ]

I sent them a question, hope they'd tell

They didn't say anything useful :s

[mjbunny]

I ordered it at about 10pm one night and I got the second email at about 8pm the next day. It was A1 row G which is on most dates...I dunno what to think.

A1 row G... that's what we got too. I also wondered about whether those are AEG ticks. I'm guessing so. Seems kind of weird that there would be so many people out there with all these A block 7th row (G) and 12th row (L) tickets. Well, hopefully that means they'll arrive in plenty of time!

We also got the confirmation email the next day, so almost 24 hours later.

Ooh thanks for that reply! Yeah I'm pretty sure they're from AEG too. I suppose that's what they called premium tickets and they're on almost every date. What with the similar timed confirmations as well. What date did you get yours for?

[mjbunny]

Ooh thanks for that reply! Yeah I'm pretty sure they're from AEG too. I suppose that's what they called premium tickets and they're on almost every date. What with the similar timed confirmations as well. What date did you get yours for?

We bought ours last Monday, April 6th. (Edit: I thought you asked what day we bought ours, lol. These ticks were for the 30th of August, to actually answer the question.) Were yours called "premium" on Viagogo? I can't see anything like that when I look. Maybe it's due to different versions of the Viagogo website (UK, US, ours - German).

I also noticed that A2 row G is available for pretty much every date, at least the ones I checked, so I'm pretty sure those are AEG. Those were, um, a bit pricey for us, though. Ouch. Had to settle for "just" A1, lol. And that was pricey enough!

No it doesn't say that on viagogo but the adverts for viagogo say they have the premium tickets if you know what I mean? Haha me too, I got A1 because A2 was just that little bit too much for me! Aw I got mine for august 28th! Too bad it wasnt the same date!

[Dimitris]

do you receive the 2nd final confirm email from viagogo ?

[mjbunny]

No it doesn't say that on viagogo but the adverts for viagogo say they have the premium tickets if you know what I mean? Haha me too, I got A1 because A2 was just that little bit too much for me! Aw I got mine for august 28th! Too bad it wasnt the same date!

We're going to be there on the 28th, too. Just way back in the back, level one clear opposite the stage. We'll look down and wave, ok, lol? :) Assuming the universe cooperates and we all get our tickets ::knock-on-wood::

I really wonder what seats the Viagogo ticks will be. Imagine if they were closest to the center. Ahhhhh. I'm going to just assume they'll be clear at the edge, though. That way it won't be disappointing if it's so. Wait... it's 7th row. What the heck am I saying? There's no such thing as disappointing! ;)

[stineLOVESmichael]

what would u guys choose from
A3 row G or
A2 row L
and it's about the same price!!!

[mjbunny]

A3 row G or
A2 row L

Wow, that's a tough one. Oooh.

I was at a Prince show years ago in the 7th row (so like row G), but center stage. It was the closest I've ever been at a concert and I could see his eyes pretty well, his facial expressions, everything. In fact, at one point he looked right at me and pointed. That was kind of cool, hehe. I think I would have fainted had it been MJ, though, lol!! There's a point as you go back from the stage where the facial details start to get just a bit too far away to see well. You're still close, but you're not close enough for good eye contact. Where is that? I don't know! Row L is only 5 rows further back, but it's guaranteed to be in the center while the other is closer but might be at the side... man... good luck with that decision, lol ;)

To add, here's some stuff I found on YouTube:

Spice Girls, A3 row G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2glm1fuEvTI
Steve Wonder, A1 row F: http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=EgqUCmWHuOE&gl=US
Rihanna from "12th row" (so presumably like A2 row L): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1gXlJxmp1I

In any case, I think I'm going to about faint seeing MJ that close, lol!!

Rihanna from "12th row" (so presumably like A2 row L): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1gXlJxmp1I


I guess that second link isn't such a good example, but it gives us an idea. The stage there looks really small and, well, Stevie Wonder isn't going to be running back & forth across the stage. I'd take the Spice Girls example as a better representation of A1 or A3 row G. (OMG, how will I stay conscious with MJ that close? LOL!)

haha thank you!!! :)
I have no idea what to choose..
This shouldn't be a huge problem really because I allready have tickets for front row, 4th and the 6th and so on for other dates, BUT
this is for the 22nd of february (I'm also attending 24th, his last date)
so this will be the last concert before the LAST concert I'll ever see him in probably..at least for a very long time..lol if that makes any sence and I really want to see him close, but NO idea what would be the best!!!!!
to be further back in the middle or closer, but more on the side

these are also my first MJ concerts, so I'm shaking just thinking about it!!

:D

[Katzr2000]

what would u guys choose from
A3 row G or
A2 row L
and it's about the same price!!!

can't believe you are getting more tickets!! YOU LUCKY COW! :hysterical:

[MJsSpecialFan]

There is alot of good seats left on viagogo for the last 3 Shows in Feb 2010 :) Alot of A1,A2,A3.. Row G - Q

[stineLOVESmichael]

I am a CRAZY cow I'll tell yah!!!!! :D lol!!!!!!
but that is ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
I can't spend more now, lol!!!!

[michaela_eve]

Do you think its possible to sell spare tickets outside the arena, couple hours before the show start?

[aliana101]

Do you think its possible to sell spare tickets outside the arena, couple hours before the show start?

No. They don't allow it as far as I've heard.

[stineLOVESmichael]

^^nope they don't. They said to me you can even go IN JAIL for it. (the sequrity)
i asked them. They said they have cameras all over the place..so,
I gave my 2 spare spice girls tickets to 2 VERYYYYY happy girls who had traveled far in the hope of get to see them

i see...because i'm afraid to sell to viagogo or here since i'm overseas. i'm afraid i can't guarantee the shipping

[StaceyMJ]

Have you tried asking viagogo what they could do for you in your situation? If you're not looking to go until January then you could always wait a while to see how much in advance tickets are actually sent out? Then you'd have an idea of whether you could buy from there or not.

[Michaelismagic]

hey guys when u buy tix from viagogo why most of them dont have seat numbers? i wonder when u buy them do they tell u the seats??

[Ágnes]

No :(

I wish they would tell u !!

[Michaelismagic]

wow so none of the ppl who bought from viagogo know their seat numbers?? dont u think that's odd? how can u trust it's real?

[StaceyMJ]

wow so none of the ppl who bought from viagogo know their seat numbers?? dont u think that's odd? how can u trust it's real?

Yeah it is a bit odd. I guess people just rely on the guarantee and the fact that the seller gets charged money if they don't deliver the tickets. I know my seat number for one date, some of them state it.

[Michaelismagic]

oh dear Im gonna buy it but I hope and pray it's real!! I'll get a heart attack if I go all this way to London and see that it's not!! I'll be torninto pieces!! I really hope it's real!!

[This Is It!]

Which ticket are you looking to buy so I can give you my opinion on whether it is likely to be genuine :) .

[Michaelismagic]

^^ it's for A2 Row G but no seat numbers

[This Is It!]

Thanks. What is the date?. You can PM me if you prefer. That's an excellent seat and one of the tickets which seem more genuine :) .

[Ágnes]

^^ it's for A2 Row G but no seat numbers
i think A2 row G tickets are AEG allocation tickets thats why no seat number ;)

[Laura.L.]

I bought a ticket from Viagogo, block A2, row G, no seat number. After two days of waiting for the 2nd confirmation email viagogo emailed me saying that the seller has not yet confirmed the purchase, and that they would be in touch with him/her. After that it didn't take long 'til I got the 2nd confirmation. The point is, my ticket obviously can't be an AEG allocation ticket since I had to wait so long for the seller's confirmation.

I'll be torn into a million pieces if the ticket is not genuine.. :( :cry:

Well at least viagogo's an official partner so if there's was a problem with it they should resolve it swiftly and without too much hassle. I wouldn't worry about it though, it should be fine :better:

[bublemjj47]

Can somebody tell me what would happen to my tickets if I'm not at home to sign for them? Where will they be taken to?

And How and where can I tell them about changing my delivery address now? Thanks

well row G is better then row Q because it is closer to the stage it doesn`t matter that the Q was VIP because it was only more expensive coz of the extra stuff u get with it (welcome drink, goodie bag etc....) ;)

I bought a ticket from Viagogo, block A2, row G, no seat number. After two days of waiting for the 2nd confirmation email viagogo emailed me saying that the seller has not yet confirmed the purchase, and that they would be in touch with him/her. After that it didn't take long 'til I got the 2nd confirmation. The point is, my ticket obviously can't be an AEG allocation ticket since I had to wait so long for the seller's confirmation.

I'll be torn into a million pieces if the ticket is not genuine.. :( :cry:

I've bought some A2 row G packages aswell on viagogo and got the confirmation e-mail right away.
there was one time I got this "waiting for confirmation" e-mail,
but you shouldn't worry because I think they do this just to not make it THAT obvious that it's AEG who's selling them.
Because they might be afraid of getting a real bad reputation or something, I don't know!!
anyway..I'm pretty sure it's AEG selling the A2 row G ones..and all the B2 row A ones.. A1 row G and A3 row G...
Cause there are so many of them! on all the dates (used to be)
I think they held back these tickets for viagogo.

I agree with you! I bought an A3 Row G ticket, I'm pretty convinced these are AEG allocated. I also agree they don't wanna be too obvious that it's AEG, I emailed them asking them and they just avoided the question. I hope so anyway, cuz the ticket is pretty much guaranteed if so! :D

I seriously believe there is nothing to worry about and that these are infact from AEG..
and yea I know!! It makes it a tiny bit better!! because then we know they are 100000% real and will be sent out to us.. and that the tickets are NOT copies..

:D

I think so...
what you can do is write viagogo an e-mail or call them and tell them you're leaving the 6th and what to do IF you haven't received your ticket.
They can easily arrange you picking it up on the o2 arena..
that's what we did last year.

but.. I think it's pretty sure you'll get it in time. they are aware that people are travelling from differant parts of the world and so on

http://www.viagogo.co.uk/FAQ.aspx?viagogoURL=

here is great info
:)

866.486.6801

this is their phone number I think..
(might have to dial the country code too if you're calling from sweden)
not sure what their email address is :S
maybe someone here knows?

[Ágnes]

not sure what their email address is :S
maybe someone here knows?

i dunno their e-mail addy, but if you are registered at viagogo there is a form that you can fill and ask there question to them - i also did that once and got a reply in couple of hours ;)

[elusive moonwalker]

email address is in the contact section theres also a most asked questions section. vertually all the questions on here are ansered in there.

seems like 90% of the tickets on via are from AEG. all the same blocks and rows. like everyone has said. especially in the A blocks. its pretty obvious. when u check each date and its all the same tickets. they are all VIP's but without the xtras. who in the gen public would have been able to buy these? no one because at first it was all VIPS for those sections that were on sale yet now u can get basically a VIP seat for 200 plus pounds

[Laura.L.]

was it Friday when you ordered it?

Yes it was. Not last Friday tho', but weeks ago. :)

Thanks everyone for the encouraging messages, I hope you're right and there will be no problems! :angel: :)

[elusive moonwalker]

*edit* never mind i read you original post
u ordered it weeks ago and have heard nothing? then theres a problem u need to email them



es it was. Not last Friday tho', but weeks ago. :)

thats why cause it seems its an automated email that gets sent out after 48hrs. because u ordered it on a friday they have until the following tuesday to confirm because of the weekend but the mail just got sent out because 48hrs had elapsed. same happened with me i got an email 48hrs after ordering it because i booked on a friday. by lunchtime on monday i got the confirmation email

Oh, I see..! That puts my mind at ease for now. :)

[elusive moonwalker]

it says 2 working days so the weekend doesnt count. i ordered at the end of the working day on friday and got the confirmation around 12 noon on monday so interms of working hours thats confirmation pretty much within 5 hours.same yesterday i bought one around 4pm and had confirmation by 1pm today

[bublemjj47]

[elusive moonwalker]

anyone think viagogo will add more AEG tickets later on or is whats on there it?

[billyjean1]

You mean AEG the company that ripp off fans don't know, sorry couldn't help myself

[billyjean1]

I don't think all the vip tix are selling so i wonder what they will do with them.

[mjbunny]

I don't think all the vip tix are selling so i wonder what they will do with them.
I'd guess sell them on Viagogo as regular tickets in the 250 to 500 GBP price range..

[elusive moonwalker]

'd guess sell them on Viagogo as regular tickets in the 250 to 500 GBP price range..
yeah prob as thats what they seem to be doing now. all those A blocks are just VIPS without the goodie bags anyway at a reduced price

[Michaelismagic]

Did anyone on this board buy 2 A2 BK Row G tix for Aug.28th from viagogo?
I cheked them in the afternoon they were there but now gone
I was wondering anyone here?

[blue_eyed_belle]

I was thinking about buying those ones too, but yeah they went!!

How much would/have you guys paid for for floor tickets from viagogo? Am seriously thinking about it as i don't want to be stressing for any more months trying to get hold of them - just wana get it out of the way really!!

[elusive moonwalker]

looking at some for the 28th but at the mo most of them are in pairs only (the decent seats). well the ones im willing to pay. hopefully they might put some others up otherwise im buggered.

re the prices i paid 220 and 250 for row G and J in the A's for other dates. personally i wouldnt want to pay more the £300. othewise its just getting daft.but i was lucky getting those tickets at such a "cheap" price there arent/werent many around so i grabbed them while they were there.

[blue_eyed_belle]

I will give my friend a call in the morning i think and see what he thinks about paying £230 for some A1/2/3 tickets as it's not much less money to be on the lower tier - might as well buy the floor ones! I just don't want to leave it too late!

[elusive moonwalker]

yeah if u have the money then go for it. u spend half your time worrying as to whether theres tickets for the dates you want left. its a relief when u finally buy them. says me whos still wants certain dates lol. well other than the 28th they can wait as its far off and theres loads availalbe

[blue_eyed_belle]

Well i'm currently looking for tickets in september and there are quite a few of those left too. Will contact my friend this afternoon and see what he thinks :)

[chocabloc]

i got row g 7th row for a good price on viagogo,you really cant hang around when you offerd a chance to sit on the 7th row and have Mike actually look at you! not bad prices considering they were on ebay for thousands.

[Ágnes]

yeah i agree, row G offers are really cool on viagogo....and also great price comparing to the VIP ones that were sold on tm ;)

[blue_eyed_belle]

Yeah true. I so want to buy these tickets, but theyre so much money! I'm really torn...do i just pay up and look big, or do i leave it as i've already got a ticket to one show? It's just my friend really wants to see MJ too! :(

[elusive moonwalker]

yeah i agree, row G offers are really cool on viagogo....and also great price comparing to the VIP ones that were sold on tm ;)
so true jsut been on the phone to a friend who bought vip row m a block and they cant believe how cheap they are on via for better seats. they are gonna sell thier vips and buy off via instead

[Katzr2000]

so true jsut been on the phone to a friend who bought vip row m a block and they cant believe how cheap they are on via for better seats. they are gonna sell thier vips and buy off via instead

I agree. The only reason i got a vip ticket is cos it was for opening night which are either the same or more expensive on viagogo for round the same seats. Thought I might as well get the extras as well. If it was another night I would have got it from Viagogo.

[michaela_eve]

If anyone call viagogo, could you please ask them do they send ticket to Indonesia or China?
i email them but still no reply and try to call but i cant reach them

Thank You

yeah i can understand for opening night. i think most ppl thought at the begining that the only way they were gonna get the first 15 rows was to buy a VIP so just went for it regardless of the price the same friend bought 2 vips and certaily isnt happy at the fact they can buy better seats or even on one date they are row d but still its cost them around £400 more to be 4-5 rows nearer the front.which they obviously dont think is worth it

[magda_magda]

i've got a question, i ordered my ticket on friday and i haven't received second email yet, with confirmation from the seller... i know that maybe i'm not patient but please tell me what if i won't get this email? it may happen like that? will they cancel transaction? :(( i'm worried

i have never seen a goodie bag before but maybe they are stuff that you can buy in the shops at the arena anyway? i mean tour program, shirt etc...

[bublemjj47]

found this :)

[mjbunny]

i think most ppl thought at the begining that the only way they were gonna get the first 15 rows was to buy a VIP... I know that's sure what I thought. There was simply no way we could afford almost 800 Pounds per ticket. Just no way.

[magda_magda]

omg i'm so worried i ordered my ticket on friday at about 1.30 p.m i haven' got second email with conformation yet, i don't know what to do, i'm worried that they can cancel my order, can they?

[Ágnes]

omg i'm so worried i ordered my ticket on friday at about 1.30 p.m i haven' got second email with conformation yet, i don't know what to do, i'm worried that they can cancel my order, can they?
was it AEG allocation ticket, what u think?

[magda_magda]

omg i don't know ;( how can i know this? i bought ticket on 17th of august, there were up to 3 tickets and i bought one (it was 402 row e) on this day there were also up to 5 tickets in section 421 row e, the same...but please just tell me may they cancel this order? maybe i'll phone them.

[Ágnes]

hm i am not sure, usually i decide if they are AEG allocation ones or not if they have the same category tickets (block and row) for many dates then probably they are. did you check this?
but yeah better call them tomorrow maybe if nothing happens till then ;)

[magda_magda]

oh no.. i didn't check this ;( i'm calling them now because i won't take it any longer i can't eat and sleep and do anythin i am so worried
so.. there's 402 row e for 3rg august one one ticket maybe there were more and 402 row d too

omg their lines are closed now

[magda_magda]

but please tell me if it won't be confirmed during 2 days can they cancel my order?

[StaceyMJ]

but please tell me if it won't be confirmed during 2 days can they cancel my order?

I wouldn't worry! I bet you will get an email tonight or tomorrow. I ordered one of my tickets from there and the confirmation took 2 working days and yours has only been one! I'm sure it will all be ok. :yes:

[magda_magda]

ok i know i'm crazy sorry that i'm making a problem but i'm so worried omg, thank you, now i'm a little more relaxed, but i won't sleep and i'll be checking if the email appeared in my inbox

[StaceyMJ]

ok i know i'm crazy sorry that i'm making a problem but i'm so worried omg, thank you, now i'm a little more relaxed, but i won't sleep and i'll be checking if the email appeared in my inbox

Aw bless ya, everything will be fine and you'll be going to see MJ I bet ya! :D

[mjbunny]

If you bought them later in the day on Thursday, on Friday or over the weekend, then it takes longer than 48 hours because it's 2 business days. We bought ours on a Friday morning and didn't get the 2nd email until Tuesday morning.

[elusive moonwalker]

yeap its 2 business days not just two days so if u bought it on friday u have upto the end of tomorrow to get the confirmational email have u had another email from viagogo saying they are chasing the seller?this is an automated email that seems to out after 2 days. no need to worry yet

[magda_magda]

yes i had this email but earlier, not after 2 days...where they say 'we are aware that you placed your order wchich has not yet been confirmed by the seller. let us assure you that we are following up on this and have aleready contacted the seller
We will contact you with further information within two business days.
bla bla bla..."

viagogo customer service

i bought ticket on friday and i received email tomorrow... that's why i'm worried, but now i know it's automated so it's ok i mean it's ok that it appeared on sunday

[Eleonora74]

i think £300-350 for 7th row is pretty good considering they were on ebay for £12,000 -£200 000 that nobody would ever pay,glad i got mine last week ,fans behind me would of paid £850 for a vip ticketNot if you consider that these tickets cost 75£ each. And this is the price fans have to pay, NO more. Don't let these websites sell at these prices making money on Michael's fans let them to believe that fans are selling their tickets. The results will be in a lot of empty spaces inside the arena thanks of these brokers. These tickets need to be returned to ticketmaster and then sold for 75£ each.

thats fine, exactly the same happened to me. i ordered the ticket on friday. on sunday just after 48hrs after i placed the order i got that email. it seems its an automated repsonce that gets sent out 2 days after the order. i doesnt realise that u ordered on a friday so its not 2 business days until the following tuesday.

if u got the first email then ure order went though ok i wouldnt worry

[magda_magda]

ok but i asked many people and they don't know... because what happens if the seller doesn't confirm? does viagogo try contact with him, return my money or give me similar ticket? - that's the question and i can't find it anywhere, ok i have to calm down now xD everything will be ok

[elusive moonwalker]

i believe it tells u in the section on thier website in the sellers questions. im not sure of the answer

[Katzr2000]

Not if you consider that these tickets cost 75£ each. And this is the price fans have to pay, NO more. Don't let these websites sell at these prices making money on Michael's fans let them to believe that fans are selling their tickets. The results will be in a lot of empty spaces inside the arena thanks of these brokers. These tickets need to be returned to ticketmaster and then sold for 75£ each.

Ele

These tickets were never £75 each. They were given directly to Viagogo by AEG to sell at the prices you see. Ticketmaster were never in possession of these tickets. Unfortunately in this instance, Viagogo are not to blame, AEG are. And whats even worst, is in most cases its the people who have purchased VIP tickets from TM are the ones who are truely getting ripped off. Paying £800 for a ticket close to the stage, when people in front of them could have paid half the price on Viagogo. Thats why these tickets are a good price. AEG are the ones making money off MJs fans, and I'm sure Michael is very aware of the deal they made, I mean, how could he not!?

No. Tickets prices are 50-65-75£ each. Then the Thriller packages of 770-795£. These are the prices and these are the prices fans HAVE to pay. Any other price you can see *everywhere* (including viagogo) is overpriced. And these ARE tickets of 75£ that you'll pay 10 times (when you'll receive your ticket you'll see his real price on it and i can not understand how someone could be happy seeing that he pays 10 times more than the original price) - except Thriller packages of course conceived from the beginning. I'm only speaking about tickets only, not packages that can include hotel or something. There're not tickets of 300-400£, if you paid that, you paied 400£ a ticket that cost 75£ (or maybe 65£, or 50£). Period. The only chance that fans have is, DO NOT buy at these prices, waiting that these tickets will be returned to ticketmaster with their original prices because no one want to spend 400£ for a ticket of 75£ value.

i dont think anyones happy about paying £250 plus but its far better than having to pay £800 which is the real price of those tickets (forgetting about the goody bags and what not cause who wants that) and its what alot of ppl thought they would have to pay in order to be 15 or less rows from the front. the rip off comes with the ppl who bought vips and are now seeing the prices on viagogo for seats closer to the front than they paid £800 for. in one sense aeg are giving fans the chance to be nearer the front with these tickets as they arent costing £800 but in another way the prices of the vip tickets should have never excisted in the first place but thats what its all about nowadays hence the seating format so they could make as much money as possible.i doubt mj is aware of all the details. itnn ot like hes a stickly for them. he prob just said i want the prices kept down and they said fine. doubt he knows about the small print so to speak

800£ is not the real price of these tickets, when you'll receive it you'll see the real price, 75£. Tickets cost is 50-65 and 75£.
Then, there're a few allocation of seats at 770/795£ VIP. No other prices.
So, row 5 in sector A, if is not one of the selected random VIP package, costs 75£. When you pay 770/795 is for champagne, vip entrance, dj, etc... when these things are not included, the price is 75£. Also if you're front stage 'cause not every seat is entitled to be VIP package. And yes, Michael will be aware soon of all of this.

800£ is not the real price of these tickets, when you'll receive it you'll see the real price, 75£. Tickets cost is 50-65 and 75£.the first 15 rows of the A blocks were/are announced as the VIP ticketsso in that sense they are vip seats but without the xtras. so all those tickets on viagogo are VIP's without the goodie bags. i have friends with vip tickets that they paid 800 quid for yet they are 6 rows behind me who paid 200 on viagogo

[Eleonora74]

the first 15 rows of the A blocks were/are announced as the VIP tickets. so all those tickets on viagogo are VIP's without the goodie bags.No. You'll see your tickets price for yourself. 75£. And you can notice also on viagogo 'cause is mandatory to say the original price: 75£!

you mean the ticket price printed on the ticket?
well i think it will be printed 75 pounds on them because that is how much the other tickets (other then VIPs) cost, but the seats (first 15 rows) were allocations for VIPs. We are aware that on Viagogo they sell everything more expensive then the original price (like upper tier ones as well), but since there is no other choice for us, considering that first the good seats were only available on tm this is also not as bad - well for me

[elusive moonwalker]

well aeg /ticketmaster announced the first 15 rows. so its B.S on their case if its true.at the end of the day the only way ppl are able to get such tickets is to buy on viagogo.and i prefer to pay 200 than 800 which is what most fans thought they would have to pay to be so close to the front. so we have no choice as always in these matters and 200 is prob the going rate for ticket of such a concert anyway. like what madonna etc charge. nothing can be done about it one way or the other its al labout the £ and is the reason for a seated concert

[Ágnes]

actually considering that also upper tier tickets cost 75 pounds (most of them) it is to me understandable that i have to pay more (even twice or three times) to be totally at the front - since i can not compare the view and all with being in upper tier and fainting there.lol

[StaceyMJ]

I'm so grateful that the A block tickets are available on viagogo, there's no way I could have afforded VIP! I feel really bad for the people who bought VIP though, that is really bad and I would totally be pissed off. I think they really took the mick with charging £795! It's such a lot of money.

[Ágnes]

I feel really bad for the people who bought VIP though, that is really bad and I would totally be pissed off.

Not at all, you'll see £75 on tickets because is their price. And, not, not the first 15 rows are all VIP packages. They are "allocated" inside these rows, it's different.

i see
well i understand that these tickets cost originally 75 pounds (that is also how much those paid who slept outside the box offices) but if there is no place to buy them for these original price and AEG choose Viagogo to sell them for 2-3-4x etc. more then those are not really original prices anymore i think because there is no place to buy them for that price.lol

[stineLOVESmichael]

I see a FRONT ROW for opening night in A2!!! dammit I want it so bad. but the price is 1600 pounds!!!!!!!
what's the point in having them so expensive!!! (to make money,yeah..but) It's not THAT easy to get the tickets sold if they keep selling them in that price. Maybe some celebrity will buy it though when they realise it's there.

[Eleonora74]

Stop buying from them and tickets will be returned to ticketmaster at their original prices or directly to the box office at the arena. Selling at these prices will only increase EMPTY SPACES inside the arena. Fans are not stupid, no one will buy 6 tickets front row for 2400£ each or more and no one will buy a 400 block ticket for 400£ when its value is 50£! ... these seats will remains empty.

this would be a solution, but i think many fans including me want to plan their trips...so buying plane ticket, booking accomodation..and i could not do it without ticket, so i had to buy one. I just could not wait that maybe there will be some more at ticketmaster, or at the box office later, because then it would be too late to book everything etc.

While this is a good idea in theory I don't think it would work out like that. I don't think the tickets will be there long enough for that to happen whether fans buy them or not. I may be wrong, but that's my opinion. Plus, it's nice to have tickets sorted now so we can plan, rather than waiting really close to the dates to book through other means. I think they'll end up selling VIP seats at a reduced price though, there seems to be a lot of those left for some dates.

but those seats wont remain empty because as u say if they dont sell they will be given back to ticketmaster to sell at the normal price nearer the dates or the prices will be reduced on viagogo. they went up an down enough just over the last month or 2.. but some fans cant or wont wait when it comes to booking tickets. not everyone lives in or near london and can just book a ticket the day before and frankly the majortiy dont want to spend the next 3 months wondering and worring if they might get a ticket for a certain date because they are waiting till the last minute to see if they reappear on the system at standard price. there is no way of stopping this. the fact is it shouldnt have happened to start and the ins and outs should have been arranged properly . with but at least with viagogo u actually have a chance to get those front tickets where as b4 u would have had to have qued at the 02 or just take pot luck when the tickets went on general sale on the website and we all know how that turned out.

I really do think your missing the point and just keep on repeating yourself!

THE MAJORITY OF THESE TICKETS WERE NEVER FOR SALE ON TICKETMASTER @ £75! THESE TICKETS ARE DIRECT FROM AEG NOT RESALES!

the original value of these tickets are what AEG decided them to be. Yes there was similar seats sold on TM / O2 box office for £75. But that doesn't mean thats what the face value of these tickets is!

This is how AEG sold the block A tickets. Some went to people @ the o2 on the day, some to lucky people on TM, some as VIP packages on various outlets AND THE REST WENT STRAIGHT TO VIAGOGO to be sold as "premium" tickets! From what I can gather AEG struck up this deal as a backwards way of stopping fans who want front block tickets being scammed on Ebay and other sites. If they had sold these tickets at £75 on viagogo then there was nothing stopping touts from buying them up and selling them at a higher price but cos these tickets are already at a high price, touts have no interest in purchasing them and AEG know that they will be going to fans! So although fans are still having to pay stupid prices for tickets they get the security of Viagogo and their deal with AEG, the touts get less tickets to line their pockets with, and AEG get a cut of the over the top prices. Even without this deal there would still be plenty of fans willing to pay this money for tickets (whos real value WOULD be £75) but they would have less security!

Even IF people did stop buying these tickets (which will never happen) THEY WOULD NOT go back to TicketMaster, AS THEY NEVER CAME FROM THERE!!!!! They would simply lower the price, till either fans continued to buy them, or touts would buy them as they would be good seats that they could try and make a profit on!!

Telling people off for having the money and want to purchase these tickets really doesn't help anyone. And I really don't think you grasp the idea that AEG is the boss and they decide where they want to sell their tickets and what that tickets value is. If you was purely talking bout tickets which had been purchased from TM for £75 and then resold on Viagogo for hundreds then that's fair enough, but your not! Most of the people on this forum have purchased tickets from what they believe are the tickets from AEG (due to row patterns) not from obvious touts.

Please actually read and try to understand this response instead of once again responding "no these tickets are £75 tickets and should go back to TM blah blah"! That just leads me to believe you have not read what I have said, do not understand it, or just plain want to ignore it cos it makes you wrong!!!

Im really sick of people trolling this forum trying to make statements to cause confrontation or a disagreement, then when someone offers them another point to consider they just run away or repeat themselves till people give up! And its NEVER regular posters!

[elusive moonwalker]

well said.although there is perks with using viagogo i still feel its deception on AEG part to claims ticket prices are being kept low par mjs request then intentionally witholding thousands of tickets to sell at ott prices. its a breach of the trade and descriptions act lol i guess its a case of the devil u know rather than the devil u dont

Thank you.

Although I can understand the method behind the madness, I am in no way saying that I condone or agree with it! If they had taken the time there was other ways that they could have prevented ticket touts from buying up all the good seats. Like many people had suggested, where was the fan club allocation?! Or names printed on tickets? Touts is their reason, money was their motivation. But there's nothing we can do about it now. Supply and demand. They knew die hard fans would be happy to pay those prices, but they wouldn't sell out 50 dates with all seats at that price. So they allocated the best seats every night for the big fans to pay loads of money for, and sold the rest of the tickets at a lower price to entice casual fans or curious music lovers. Shame they didn't take into account that although most die hard fans would be willing to pay that amount of money..not all of them have it!

yeap totally agree. its all about the money at the end of the day as u said there were other ways is could have been worked out. like working with fanclubs but i guess they were more bothered about getting 200 per ticket sold to a fan rather than selling them at face value to fans

[StaceyMJ]

Yeah, it's sad. It's also really sad that a lot of fans couldn't even get tickets during the presale or general sale. Knowing these concerts were coming up they should have started an official fan club or something last year before they were announced to gage some of the loyal true fans at least. Like you said though, money is obviously more important.

[CatherineNZ]

hey guys this question might have been asked before, but i couldnt find the answer. sorry about that.

just wondering - how come that when you buy from viagogo sometimes they would indicate seats and sometimes - well most of the time there are no seats. just blocks and rows. like i ordered tickets from them but i dont know my seats. that's confusing :(

The ones we believe to be from AEG don't have seat numbers. Of course that doesn't mean all ones without seat numbers are direct from AEG but it tells us the ones WITH seat numbers are not from AEG. Hope that makes sense.

I don't know why they haven't listed the seat numbers. I guess cos some have multiple seats in the same row and allocate them first come first serve basis. Do you not found out the seat numbers upon confirmation?

This is one thing which put me off Viagogo (among others lol) cos I wanted to get either block 112 (closest to bk 111) or bk 111 (closest to bk 112) but without seat numbers its not possible to know what side of the block you will be sitting!

thank you for your answer. :clapping:

pffff i'm a little bit worried. do you mean first come first serve - we will have to run again?! :bugeyed like i bought their A1 section seats. does it mean we will have to run to the stage again so not to be on the side of the section. i think it's ok even on the side as it's close to the stage, but man they're charging fortune for that....

i read your posts about tickets sales and got your point. what i didnt get is does it matter whether it comes from AEG or VIAGOGO. as you have to pay if you wanna go.

as for 111 and 112 - i dont understand why on viagogo their prices are sometimes the same or even expensive than G row in A section? i dont get it. what's so special about 111? i mean i know the view must be very good as you are at Michael's level if you've got the right row or at least nobody's poster or head is in the front of you. but anyway - why?

i wonder how will it happen first come first serve? a nice lady standing at each row and checking tickets? haha no way. how are they going to control how many people they've got in this row?

and unless you put a security at each row - how would you control a crowd that will run to the stage when Michael shows up? i have done 11 concerts i know only too well what's happening... :bugeyed and this time i'm taking my little sister with me that havent done a single concert and is a fan. so running again? :doh: well nothing new... :smilerolleyes:

[blue_eyed_belle]

No you won't have to run to get the seats i don't think :lol: Even if you don't know your seat numbers yet they'll be on your tickets when you collect them/they arrive :p

[CatherineNZ]

:baby: why don't they indicate seats on the tickets then? :smilerolleyes:

well let's hope for the best :dancin:

[blue_eyed_belle]

Not sure why you don't yet know the seat no's, but it'll be much clearer when you've got the actual tickets in hand :)

[Ágnes]

my theory was that they maybe did not tell the seat nr because this way they can make ppl more to buy the middle blocks like A2, B2. At least this was in my case. When i bought my A2 ticket the price diff between it (same row) and A1 was just like 30 pounds as i remember..so i choose A2 (but if i knew the seat nr for A1 and it would not have been totally at the side then i would have gone for A1).

[blue_eyed_belle]

That's a good point Agnes, you're probably right :yes:

yeah same here i stick to the floor seat because of what u said

fisrt come first served meaning when u bought the ticket. so if u bought it first u get middle seats and buy the last one u get the seats nearer to the side. every ticket will have a seat number.


hy don't they indicate seats on the tickets then?

theres thousand of aeg tickets so maybe they just couldnt be bothered adding on the seat numbers as they know fans will buy regardless


s for 111 and 112 - i dont understand why on viagogo their prices are sometimes the same or even expensive than G row in A section? i dont get it. what's so special about 111? i mean i know the view must be very good as you are at Michael's level if you've got the right row or at least nobody's poster or head is in the front of you. but anyway - why?
alot of ppl say 111-112 depending on the row/seat are prob the best seats in the house unless of course u are very near the front in the a blocks. alot of ppl like those seats as u are near the stage and on an incline so you get a clear full view of the stage rather than being right at the back of the A blocks with someone whos 7 foot tall infront of you lol

[billyjean1]

yeah 112 and 111 are the best, floor seats are great but if you get someone tall you are buggered all lower teir are the best because the seats are built up so you can see over the person infront. I have been to the 02 loads of times and been seated all over.

If you are upper teir 402 is great because you can see the whole of the stage, but 112 and 111 are the best, aswell as 101 and 102 lower teir.

I wouldn't say that they are the BETTER seats, just as good! Cos another point is that, although in 112 you will have an unobstructed view (you may do in A as well depends on how tall u are and how tall the person in front is) you will be looking at the stage from the side, in block A you get a view from the front.

There are many positives and negatives to why ones better than the other, but most of it comes down to personal preference. Which is why I say they are equally as good! :)

Now is there anyway of finding out what side of a block the tickets will be in??

[elusive moonwalker]

Which is why I say they are equally as good!yeah thats true. in MSG for example i had one seat at the back of the floor that cost more money that a seat with a side veiw yet it was close to the stage . figure that one lol. i actually enjoyed the side on view cause it gave u a new perspective compaired to what u are used to

i guess the only way of knowing is if u can get hold of the actual seat number but that aint gonna happen with the aeg ticks.id buy 112's if i knew the numbers but otherwise its not really worth the risk.

[Eleonora74]

I really do think your missing the point and just keep on repeating yourself!

THE MAJORITY OF THESE TICKETS WERE NEVER FOR SALE ON TICKETMASTER @ £75! THESE TICKETS ARE DIRECT FROM AEG NOT RESALES!

the original value of these tickets are what AEG decided them to be. Yes there was similar seats sold on TM / O2 box office for £75. But that doesn't mean thats what the face value of these tickets is!

This is how AEG sold the block A tickets. Some went to people @ the o2 on the day, some to lucky people on TM, some as VIP packages on various outlets AND THE REST WENT STRAIGHT TO VIAGOGO to be sold as "premium" tickets! From what I can gather AEG struck up this deal as a backwards way of stopping fans who want front block tickets being scammed on Ebay and other sites. If they had sold these tickets at £75 on viagogo then there was nothing stopping touts from buying them up and selling them at a higher price but cos these tickets are already at a high price, touts have no interest in purchasing them and AEG know that they will be going to fans! So although fans are still having to pay stupid prices for tickets they get the security of Viagogo and their deal with AEG, the touts get less tickets to line their pockets with, and AEG get a cut of the over the top prices. Even without this deal there would still be plenty of fans willing to pay this money for tickets (whos real value WOULD be £75) but they would have less security!

Even IF people did stop buying these tickets (which will never happen) THEY WOULD NOT go back to TicketMaster, AS THEY NEVER CAME FROM THERE!!!!! They would simply lower the price, till either fans continued to buy them, or touts would buy them as they would be good seats that they could try and make a profit on!!

Telling people off for having the money and want to purchase these tickets really doesn't help anyone. And I really don't think you grasp the idea that AEG is the boss and they decide where they want to sell their tickets and what that tickets value is. If you was purely talking bout tickets which had been purchased from TM for £75 and then resold on Viagogo for hundreds then that's fair enough, but your not! Most of the people on this forum have purchased tickets from what they believe are the tickets from AEG (due to row patterns) not from obvious touts.

Please actually read and try to understand this response instead of once again responding "no these tickets are £75 tickets and should go back to TM blah blah"! That just leads me to believe you have not read what I have said, do not understand it, or just plain want to ignore it cos it makes you wrong!!!

Im really sick of people trolling this forum trying to make statements to cause confrontation or a disagreement, then when someone offers them another point to consider they just run away or repeat themselves till people give up! And its NEVER regular posters!


I perfectly understand what you're saying, but, the only thing i see, is that you don't have a clue about your're talking about... simply that.

You'll see on your ticket the value of them. And you'll see people who paid 75£ for a 50£ ticket whitout knowing at all their cost, on TM, maybe in block 400. Or you can ask someone where are tickets of 50£, or 65£? Maybe someone will tell you... but unfortunately just a few people paid it the right price. If you feel confortable with all of that is your problem, if you feel confortable about DOZENS of websites that are selling tickets at prices never seen before, because of failing to selling at the original price directly on TM, it's your problem and let the fans believe that are *the fans* who are selling them, you're living in another planet.

But, if you feel confortable, for me it's ok. :clapping:

[Ágnes]

Ele, did you see those tickets?

[Eleonora74]

Ele, did you see those tickets?You'll see for yourself when you'll receive it. :cheeky: Meanwhile, you can check every broker websites or similar, it's mandatory to show the real value of the ticket. If you paid 400£ you'll probably have a 75£ ticket, or 65£ or 50£. And it's fun that someone wanna tell you that you're paying £400 a ticket that cost 400£ or maybe a vip package discounted, that's really funny... there're no other prices only 50,65,75 pounds. Then VIP at 770 and 795 pounds. The rest is more than you need to pay.

[StaceyMJ]

Does anyone know which tickets were £50 and £65? I looked on Seetickets the other day and even seats in 412 which is top tier at the back were £75.

[Katzr2000]

Ele I'm not gonna bother responding to you cos you really don't seem to grasp what anyone is saying. If you don't like it, don't buy them. Leave the people who ARE buying from viagogo to post here and stop reading and posting in the thread! END OF!

[Katzr2000]

Does anyone know which tickets were £50 and £65? I looked on Seetickets the other day and even seats in 412 which is top tier at the back were £75.

as far as I know there are certain top tier blocks which were £65 and the back of these tiers were £50. Tickets in these price brackets were very VERY limited.

[StaceyMJ]

Yeah, I have never seen or heard of any at that price. Funny, cuz when I was at the conference the O2 staff were going round telling everyone top tier would be £50, 1st tier £65 and floor £75. That would have been too good to be true though I guess.

[elusive moonwalker]

my brother got some £65 ones i think they are block 408 and something like row S. never heard of anyone getting £55 one those. theres prob about 10 seats that cost £55 lol

[chocabloc]

checked via last night and was surprised a lot of the tickets are now gone from when i last checked about 2 weeks ago,the closer it gets fans are buying them up.

[elusive moonwalker]

yeah alot of ticks for the july/ august shows have gone. later ones arent being touched much.

[SuperLee]

WOW can't believe how the prices have fallen on Viagogo!!

[MJsSpecialFan]

Have anyone seen those A1 and A2 Row C
is up on Viagogo for dates of july 10 & 16.

A1...Row C 1066 Dollars
A2...Row C 1662 Dollars

I'm so close to get it.. :yes:

[MJsSpecialFan]

&

It's only 2 left on each :blink:

just checked...also for July 22 A2 C....could these be new AEG allocations?

[saztastic]

Did anyone find anything out about Viagogo and ticket limits?

[MJsSpecialFan]

just checked...also for July 22 A2 C....could these be new AEG allocations?

It might be new AEG Locations:smilerolleyes::clapping:

[chocabloc]

could just be a one off the row c for just under £500,think someone one here got a front row for £600,there will be a lot of demand when the tour is even closer,maybe Via will release more?

[StaceyMJ]

I just made my final viagogo purchase for Feb 20th! I need to stay away from there now. :lol: Cool that they're adding row C's! :O Shame they're so expensive though.

[elusive moonwalker]

was just gonna come here and post but it seems others have seen the same things. its looks like AEG are adding more tickets. as theres half decent prices now availalbe for floor tickets for the opening night and a few other dates for early july that werent there b4. i wonder how many tickets they are holding back. in one sense its good because if theres a date you are after and theres no tickets available in the section u want it doesnt mean thats it. they could add more later but the other end is do u buy whats there now or wait and take your chances and maybe end up with there being no decent tickets left for the section u want. AEG/viagogo should have just put everything up there first so everyone knew what was being offered

[elusive moonwalker]

Did anyone find anything out about Viagogo and ticket limits?
meaning what u can buy off them? it gives the info on their site on what u can buy/sell

[MJsSpecialFan]

If row C's Are left latest by tuesday or wednesday. i'll buy it. Don't care about the Price..Plus my Birthday is on Wednesday on(May &) then i'll get a money rain. So i can afford to buy Row C or any other Row :) Counting my lucky stars ;)

[elusive moonwalker]

£700 it is pretty ridiculous though the fans have been scammed big time. even more so when u can get 4 rows futher back (not for that date ) for just over £200

[mjbunny]

They're holding back tickets because a shortage allows for higher prices (edit: I mean higher than face value) to be charged, naturally. Once the more expensive floor ticks are sold... oh, suddenly there are more! What a crock of .... you know what.

.

[elusive moonwalker]

but the tickets that AEG are selling bar the opening night are pretty much the same price through out. the really expensive oens for opening night havnt gone so i guess they are now trying to sell tickets at a lower price. god knows how many thousands they are sellign like this. they better watch themselves that they dont end up with alot of empty seats because of witholding tickets or selling them at ott prices.

yeah, if they are AEG tickets they should have released them sooner...the fans who were probably willing to spend that much probably will have bought G tickets!Kind of a stupid move! Lets just hope they dont sell and get cheaper, lol.

[emmah24]

I for one feel like I've been completely scammed by the whole Viagogo ticket selling arrangements, I cant believe this system is even legal. I've paid stupid money for a seat in the top tier for opening night and now they're showing similar seats for about 100 quid lower. I'd love to know whats going on behind the scenes cause somebody somewhere is lining their pockets big time over this.

I feel a strongly worded letter to trading standards coming on.

Do you actually know that its the sellers that set the price tags and not Viagogo?
Viagogo simply have a steak in the money they recieve from each of the ticket sales

[Prometheus77]

Of course the seller sets the price tag and then Viagogo adds a fat percentage (sometimes almost as high as the original tickets would have cost) as "service charge"! And yes, it's all a big scam and actually makes me sick to think about it! It shouldn't be legal!

On one hand ticket selling sites like Seetickets claim that it's not allowed to resell tickets and that they will void tickets if they found out about it and at the other hand scamming sites like Viagogo are the official partners of the concert promoter... this stinks!

[Michaelismagic]

OMG I bought a ticket at last!!!
I cant believe I paid $700 for A2 Row G August 24th! looooooooooooooooool!
everybody tells me Im crazy but ot worths it! though I still dont know I can get a UK visa...but I couldnt lose it baby!!

That's happened to me too! I'm not happy about it to say the least. I also find it highly hypocritical about ticketmaster etc saying they will void tickets for reselling and then viagogo are official partners! It's a joke. I can't believe the fans have been treated so badly.

[CatherineNZ]

Viagogo have closed their phone lines. we got them apparently :)

i've just realized that i cannot change my delivery address :( and i've got a problem. i'm flying to London from New Zealand on 4th (it means the 3d for Europe) and my tickets are for 10/09. i wonder what will they do in this case...

stupid me should have given them a hotel address

[billyjean1]

I have to agree with emmah on this, i also feel scammed not only by viagogo but aeg, they have put tix on there and are charging bucket loads of money its just not fair.

But i have said this all along and i still feel the same, why after all we have done for michael we still have to pay shit loads of money just to see him.

Loads of tix have gone to brokers, vip etc. not all vip tix are going to be sold so i guess they will be put on viagogo.

I feel cheated thats for sure. I hope michael knows about this because its always his fans that have to deal with crap.

does michael know we are in a recession

[Ágnes]

But i have said this all along and i still feel the same, why after all we have done for michael we still have to pay shit loads of money just to see him.



sad and true..:(

[blue_eyed_belle]

I too think it's disgusting, but hey, that's the way it is and they know that if fans are desperate to see MJ perform then they will pay the money, whether it's £100s or £1000s. Sad but true.

[Muchos]

Damn this whole situation is just like the the Victory tour. The presale thingy where you wouldn't even being guaranteed a code(I got one the friday on the general sale) The 4 per limit per person/cardholder.

Outragious prices on viagogo, holding back good seats, forcing diehard fans to empty their life savings.
I wish Micchael would come out and speak about this like he did during Victory tour. I know he won't though. I bet AEG wrote him a nice fat check and told mike not worry and that they would take care of the rest.

what a shame....

Yeah I guess that's the price whe have to pay, litteraly speaking

[blue_eyed_belle]

Yeah I guess that's the price whe have to pay, litteraly speaking

If the tickets hadn't sold in the pre or general sale then maybe things would be different, but that wasn't exactly going to happen.

[elusive moonwalker]

u can change your delievery address. just email them and tell them your problem.

[Muchos]

u can change your delievery address. just email them and tell them your problem.


do you have any dvise for me jeg bought 2 tix with my own name and card. the dates are 3rd august and 17th, but I'm in london already late july

[Muchos]

If the tickets hadn't sold in the pre or general sale then maybe things would be different, but that wasn't exactly going to happen.

I know, but then again, I guess they did that to see the response? hence all the extra shows... i don't know

[elusive moonwalker]

u mean interms of delievery muchos? so u arent gonna go home at all b4 the 17th show. your basically staying in london for 3 weeks or so? or u need to sell them?

[CatherineNZ]

i wrote to viagogo and they have changed the delivery address for me. so it's possible even though on their web site they say they cannot do it :) thank you elusive moonwalker

[Muchos]

u mean interms of delievery muchos? so u arent gonna go home at all b4 the 17th show. your basically staying in london for 3 weeks or so? or u need to sell them?


yes the delivery is my concern. The thing is I won't stay in london for 3 weeks just for one show. I already have tickets for 28july 30th, 1 and 3rd august. and of course the 17th.

should I call them or send an email about delivery for the 3rd and 17th august tix?

yeah I want to sell the 17th ticket... why you want it.. haha:D



EDIT: BTW I got my ticket fro TM

[blue_eyed_belle]

I'm looking for a single ticket for september floor seating for a reasonable price and this is proving impossible! Viagogo's just WAY too much for me as a humble student :P I just can't afford to spend more than £200 on a ticket! :(

[elusive moonwalker]

wrote to viagogo and they have changed the delivery address for me. so it's possible even though on their web site they say they cannot do it :) thank you elusive moonwalker
your welcome yeah it says u cant change address cause it could delay delievery but i think thats just an excuse really as it can only delay if u contact them just as the tickets are being sent to you. changing it now makes no difference at all


yeah I want to sell the 17th ticket... why you want it.. haha:D lol ive got one for the 17th.not sure what u are saying though u just want to sell them or why would there be a prob with delievery as u are going home anyway
