Anyone managed to get Radiohead tickets??

[Bill]

Just curious. Various friends have tried, 2 didn't get a code to sign up and the rest of us (5) struggled to get into the site and found no standing tickets left and only £250 seated ones available. Wondering if anyone was successful or the touts managed to game the system.

Apparently usual farce, dynamic pricing in play, AXS taking punters for idiots as per normal.

I can only suggest making bucket list concerts part of a European trip where ticket selling and pricing is still somewhat sane.

Yeah, all a bit st really.

It was horrible. It took loads of attempts to join the queue, then it threw me out because it suspected me of doing something dodgy (VPN/zscaler etc) even though I was just on my mobile.

Gave the code to my mate because I'd given up, he managed to get through using my details but it was only seats left at that point and decided not to bother.

I went back in just to see at about 11:30am and managed to get through to see the seat pricing on Tuesday, and then, without clearing cache or closing windows on my phone, managed to also get in to see what it looked like on Monday!

So when it actually mattered, it threw me out for doing something I definitely wasn't, and when I tried later on, I could get through despite doing something it said I'd be thrown out for.

Yes, managed to get standing tickets.

Was a bit of a st show, also got kicked out from the queue about 5 times for suspicious activity but luckily each time I rejoined in the same place so got through to the checkout around 10.20?

Noticed on the seating plan the stage is in the middle, does it constantly rotate or something?

I've given up trying to see any 'big' bands now due to the general stshow and price gouging that seems to happen every single time. It's a game I no longer want to play.

I would have liked to see Radiohead when they still played smaller venues, but those huge venues are so devoid of atmosphere, I'd prefer to watch later on youtube...

100% with you. I saw Wolf Alice on their last tour at the Hammersmith Apollo, and they were great. This time around they’re playing the O2. No thanks.

Having said that, I do wish I’d tried to get Oasis tickets last year. A friend of mine got two for Wembley for £75 each. I must admit I was a little jealous.

This. There's loads of great bands out there playing smaller venues at sensible prices.

Couldn't agree more, exactly how I felt on Friday.
