Snowdrop Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Brilliant. Did you have to phone the box office to get those seats, because I heard that sometimes they don't give out row A and row B tickets until later or if people specifically ask, because not everyone likes being so close. I've got tickets for Row C of stalls in Edinburgh, Row A of circle also in Edinburgh, and hope to get Manchester tickets soon too! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorral Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I was on the phone for nearly 2 hours this morning from 10am,The Saturday and Thurs matinee's were difficult to find seats for,could have had row BB but was told you are looking up and can't see back of stage, rows A and B you are also looking up but non available, seats at the end of rows give restricted views. Was going to go to the theatre and book until I found out tickets went on Sale 2 hours later than they did on the net. Dorisx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Dorral I bet you are relieved to be booked. I rang the ticket office in Bham today and the guy said that the tickets were selling so, so quickly to the friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGates Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I hope you do manage to get tickets Maria. I'd like to go to see the show in Manchester, and don't really mind where I sit it'll just be great to see Gareth again.. been a long time since I've seen him in anything.. I just hope that there'll be tickets left by the time I get paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It took me 20 mins to get through, 55mins waiting in a queue, the rest sorting out my bookings. :shocked: When the Cardiff ones were on sale, if you remember Doris, you told that that there were only single seats left on line. I was on holiday at the time, so I sat on the beach with my mobile and rang up. I waited so long I used all my call tyime up, so when I got the last 2 seats in the house, I really didn't mind that they were up in the gods. At least I would get to see him! Maria could you not ask for an early Christmas present, so you could book now? That is all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_1981 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks katie :smile: hope you manage to get some too although now i dont think there will be a problem,it was just how fast it sounded like they were selling but was definitly great for gareth and thats the main thing your right carol it doesnt matter if i was to be in the gods as at least id be getting to see gareth :smile: i dont think my family can afford to get me a ticket as an early x,mas present but it is a good idea thats much appreciated thanks :smile: but yup i was panicking over nothing last night lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have been trying, so far unsuccessfully since 9.30 to book online. They dont take orders by phone yet. Lucky I got the day off, but I need to go to town soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Right I give up for now, its rediculous it goes so slow to get to basket, then when at last it moves, it says something gone wrong. Grrrrr Got to leave it for now, will try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I think the website is just too busy and can't cope with the demand. I hope you get something later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hope so too, I am trying for a Sat Mat, we can't do any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Good luck with that. They are often the busiest performances, but I'm sure you'll get something good if you hang on in there. There were probably a lot of people poised to buy tickets as soon as they became available, but it will presumably ease up a bit later in the day.

Snowdrop Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 It looks like the website has given up the ghost for now. You are probably better off phoning the box office - if you can get through, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I phoned the box office this morning and was told they do not take orders on phone until next monday. I have been trying for hrs again, got nowhere. Will try late tonight once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I see, I thought it might be like Manchester where telephone bookings opened a couple of hours after online. What a shame for people without access to the internet. Not that it is helping much today, lol, but presuming things start working again later, all the best seats could be gone by the time you can buy them from the actual box office.

maria_1981 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 all the best seats could be gone by the time you can buy them from the actual box office i dont think theres much to worry about in that way cos i think a lot of the time only certain seats are available online,when they go on sale from the box office next week there should be good seats they wasnt selling online unless what im saying only goes when booking from other ticket sites such as see tickets,ticketmaster etc,suppose booking from the hippodrome sight all seats are available,people who cant access the internet or cant afford it till you can book over the phone will just have to hope for the best i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Think you are right maria cause I have just booked row C and row E through box office today in the stalls for manchester where online the only good seats I could find where in the circle for them dates.
