On the ticketmaster website, look at the FAQs in the help section.
Here there are dispatch updates for the various concerts. I am waiting for seated tickets for the 17th and they were only starting being dispatched from the 9th and should come within the next few days.

Can't get throught to Ticketmaster either by phone, it tells you to go through the website.

I will not panic, I will not panic

Not for that reason at all, have a look at ticket sales on Ebay and see how many people actually have the tickets.

You can pick up duplicates at the stadium if they don't arrive in time.

My Oasis SOL ticket turned up on the Saturday. Closest I've ever been with See was when I had a ticket arrive the day before the gig! Whether the late issue is to discourage touting or for some other reason,have they thought that they're not making it easy for those who may be travelling to the gig from another area a few days beforehand? It's no good sending out tickets to arrive two days before if that's the day you're travelling.

Why not? If your tickets are not issued to you then you can pick up replacements on the door.

"Duplicate tickets will not be issued under any circumstances". Quoted from the t's and c's on numerous tickets I've had.

That is presuming you get the tickets in the first place though. I have had to collect duplicates from the box office on 2 occasions, one being for Take That.

I've not received mine, going on the 19th at Hampden. Really annoyed as I could only get them sent to my billing address, which is in Aberdeen, and I am currently staying in Edinburgh. Came home for the weekend hoping to collect them, but they never arrived and I need to head back to Edinburgh tomorrow!

Phoned Ticketmaster, and apparently there are tickets being dispatched early next week. Cutting it very fine, looks like I'll need to make a last minute road trip up to collect them.

yay I have finally received mine for Friday today cutting it fine though even worse I ordered some for my friend for the Saturday and they came at the weekend!

Brightside I live in Aberdeen so hopefully yours will have been delivered today if you havent got them already. Why dont you get someone from your aberdeen address to send them next day delivery via the post office to your edinburgh address? Might save you a lengthy journey

It must come down to the discretion of the ticket company when they send them out. I got two from Ticketline, and i have had these since last Monday (8th) but the two i ordered via Seetickets only arrived yesterday and i was getting VERY worried as i am leaving this morning as stopping over in Glasgow for the weekend!

I can understand them wanting to make it harder for the touts, but now it seems they are cutting it a bit too fine..

Exactly. As I said my Oasis ticket for Sunderland turned up on the Saturday before the show. The show was on the Wednesday,luckily I was travelling up on the day and coming back to London on Friday,but I could just as easily have been travelling up on the Saturday and spending my entire week in the North East.

Suppose I'd phoned them up on Friday saying 'where are my tickets'?,and they say we've posted them out,they should be with you tomorrow. 'But that's no good as I'm leaving to travel to Sunderland tomorrow and the postman won't arrive until after I have to leave'. What then? Do they agree to issue duplicates to pick up at the venue,or do they say 'tough,we've posted them out to the address you gave us in time to arrive before the show,it's not our fault if you're not there to receive them'?

If they look at the orders and see that someone has ordered tickets for shows in Manchester/Sheffield/Newcastle/Glasgow/Dublin/wherever,and has given a delivery address in London or somewhere other than where the show is taking place,it's not hard to work out that the person will be travelling to the show. They should make allowances for people travelling into the area two or three days before a show takes place.

Back in 2003 I did the week of Springsteen shows,Monday and Tuesday in London,Thursday in Manchester and Saturday in Dublin. All four tickets were purchased from the same ticket agent. It would have been no good if they'd sent the Dublin ticket to arrive on the Wednesday as I was travelling up to Manchester Wednesday,then flying from Manchester to Dublin on Friday,and returning to London on Saturday,so how would I have got hold of the ticket?
