Metallica @ Manchester tickets

The seated ones went on sale today, anyone know when the standing ones will?

Cheers

I think they should both have been available simultaneously. I suspect another Ticketmaster cock-up.

Dunno if they're letting fan club members first dibs but only tickets for Nottingham are on sale ATM.

Have to try tomorrow.

fan club memebers could buy tickets on tuesday, and the presale ones were today. I got mine through blueroom on O2 yesterday for the O2 arena show. General sale should be tomorrow, but I suspect that the standing ones have already sold out if non are showing

The box office opened at 9AM was online hitting refresh until it opened from about 8:58 , they're all showing as 'Currently not on sale'. London and Glasgow are available though.

The email I had about pre-sale @ Manchester had links for both Seated and Standing.

I've just tried the link for standing and it brings up the number of tickets screen, but when it goes to the searching screen it comes back as no match. So I assume they were available.

I got seated tickets for Block 107 @ 9am. Just tried now and 'Best Available' is coming back in 212

Can only conclude they're not on sale yet, have been looking every day since Thursday and they've been 'Currently Not On Sale' no indication as to when they will be.

If seated is all that's going to be available I'll not bother.

I would think it's more like sold out than not on sale

They would have had to have been sold out before they went on sale then, I checked the second the box office opened, they've never been anything other than 'currently not on sale'

Would've thought they'd be marked as sold out if they were.

they very rarely actually say sold out, normally as you have said, it just comes up with tickets currently not on sale. if you consider that the tickets had already gone on sale to the metclub members, then O2 priority tickets, then ticketmaster pre-sale, by the time they actually went on sale on friday morning, most of the standing ones would have sold out

I appreciate that but I had access to the pre-sale at 9AM Thursday, 24 hours before they officially went on sale, I logged on at exactly 9AM and they just stated 'currently not on sale' which suggests that they were sold out on Tuesday before TicketMaster got their hands on them.

(all the Metclub tickets sold on Tuesday ended up on Ebay at twice the price, it would be the easiest thing in the world to prevent this sort of thing happening but they're not bothered).

Forget it then, would've been an awesome gig but I refuse to play silly games with touts just to get a ticket.
