Hello
I like to ask-
In your experiance useing ticketmaster please can you tell me how long did you wait for your ticket once it says
''Your tickets are in the process of being printed.''
I know that someone going to same concert got her ticket directly from the theatre sort of wish now I got my ticket from theatre.
I have used ticketmaster before but just can not recall how long I waited for the ticket.
Concert not until June but I am so looking forward to it that am on tenderhooks fot the postman to deliver the ticket.
Thanking you

    Depends on the event really,

    Sometimes from Ticketmaster I got the tickets right away, others was a couple of weeks before the concert, if it's not until June, I wouldn't worry about them not arriving yet

    I bought some in the first week of Feb for the 19th March. They came 2 weeks ish after I bought them. I've never had any problems with them.

    totally off-topic (apologies) but that's my birthday :D:p

    Yeah as others have said, sometimes they arrive really quickly and other times they take ages to arrive. :)

    I ordered tickets in May last year for November and the tickets arrived in June. :)

    used them recently, no problems except thought the 7 pounds booking fee on a £90 ticket was steep. Also the secure tickedt delivery at £5 per order (Which is the min postage you can get) was delivered by the post man and didnt require me to sign for it. (All I paid for was the envelope to have secure in big read letters)...Tickets arrived in a couple of days.

    I got tickets to a gig last month within one week. I think it was 6 days and that was with the weekend inbetween as well.

    Ticketmaster are normally good and send them out a week or 2 after you order them, unlike See Tickets who leave it to the last minute or sometimes don't even bother sending them at all and tell you on the day of the event to pick them up from the box office.

    Mine were delivered by a courier although I didnt sign for them. I know the post lady didnt deliver them because she turned up after the tickets.

    Oooh - Is it for Take That??

    I find with the bigger sell out gigs you dont get them until nearer the date - I am guessing it's to discourage touts. (I remember only getting Oasis tickets a few weeks before the gig even though I'd bought them about 4 months in advance) Others have arrived after a couple of days.

    Depends on gig, I got some beady eye tickets sitting in my inbox right now. Granted they arent ticketmaster but there 'etickets' straight from the 02 academy box office.
    However, I know I wont get my Tinthe park tickets until twoish weeks before the actual event to stop selling on. give it time.
    Does it not say on your ticketmaster bit when they would be sent out?

    I use ticket master all the time, never had a problem with them as they always deliver on time,
    However I booked some tickets just before xmas for my son (present for his girlfriend). There was a new option of printing off the ticket.
    This not only saved on p&p but gave me the option of printing off two sets of tickets, which was very helpful as my sons girlfriend (as expected lol) lost her set!!
    Thankfully she got to see the saturdays using my second copy.
    So I would recommend this way in the future!

    :eek: oh dear.

    A friend of mine ordered our tickets for a night out last month (ordered the tickets in May last year) and they turned up about a week before the event. She got them from Seetickets.

    I'll make sure I don't use them then, I bet getting to the box office is a nightmare.

    Got my tickets for Jamiriqua at the NEC 17th April last week, bought them in December

    I dont buy much from them nowadays, won a £100 gift card in the works xmas raffle, I find that you cant buy much with it only concerts or shows

    I wanted to go to the sporting events and it directs you to an external site where you cant use the card :(

    Also I got a gift card from the garage (Shell) and didnt use it for a year and they wiped it

    Also people lose them if they are sent out too early
