It's not for me, it's for the parents.

They would love to see Il Divo in concert at Wembley Arena, so trying to sort something out, but floor tickets are fetching twice face value at the moment.

each concert has a allocated ticket seller mate, so you may well have to go thru some agency u dont want to use ie ticketmaster.

Yeah, that's what I thought mate, but the only problem being that the official ticket seller is sold out of the seating I want.

I get ya.

Just had a quick spy on See Tickets (assume you have anyway) and the only block they have is S15.



Terrible seats I would've thought

Unfortunately E-Bay and greedy people have made ticket-buying and concert-going a nightmare, unless you're prepared to slog it out on the day the tickets are released to get the good ones

Yep, definitely wont be using "getmetickets" after hearing of too many bad experiences.

Ebay looks like an option, but it's still £150 a pair of tickets..........

I've never had any problems with Ticketmaster personally.

I've used SeeTickets a fair bit too.
