MTV EMA Tickets
Does anyone know when these will be going on sale? It's just over a month to go and I still haven't seen anything.

I've been looking too. Nicki Minaj is hosting and performing so maybe this is them slowly releasing more info on the event. How many tickets will fans even get? I know the full capacity wont go on sale due to the number of stars that will be there and the stage etc.

I got mine from Carlsberg (yes the beer company) in 2001. Amazing night but now I would pass.

Nicki Minaj presenting, performing and in Glasgow sounds like a great night out to me!!! Wonder if there will be any official after-club parties after the EMA? |

Same here. I can't find anything about this either. So tickets aren't free, they have to be purchased? Are they expensive?

Again your best contacting sponsors for tickets. The after party was awesome in Germany and the set up was fantastic.

How do you find out who the sponsors are? Why are they responsible for tickets and not some official MTV body or organisation?

You'll be lucky to get tickets. My sister had to enter her details via the Ticketmaster site and names were chosen via a public ballot. Needless to say, my sister's name didn't get picked.
Taken from http://www.eventscotland.org/scotlan...v-ema-glasgow/ How can I get tickets? Please note that registrations for the public ballot are now closed. In addition, thousands more standing tickets will be made available for fans via a public casting for enthusiastic music lovers to be in on-camera positions as part of the show itself. The 2014 MTV EMA Casting will take place on 1 & 2 November in Glasgow with full details to be revealed in the coming weeks. Competitions to win standing tickets to watch the live show from an exclusive area at the MTV EMA – the ‘Hyperspace’ - are also running across a variety of media outlets locally and internationally. I've found this on the MTV website, I think it's the sponsors and partners of the event. http://uk.mtvema.com/press/about-sponsors-and-partners |

It sounds like a Big Brother thing where you have to audition and act up for the producers and the powers that be decide to choose whether or not you look good on camera? Seriously?! The casting is happening this coming weekend and the blurb above says 'details to be revealed in coming weeks' yet i haven't read or seen any info for this anywhere. I work at the weekends anyway so i wouldn't be able to attend even if i wanted to. The blurb above also says standing tickets for 'Hyperspace' area is 'running across a variety of media outlets locally and internationally', really? Where? I don't know anyone who has got tickets for this! |

I have no idea if these tickets are being distributed fairly or not. I knew about the ballot which you had to register for and if your name got picked you could then purchase tickets via Ticketmaster. Sadly i only discovered this on the very last day of registration and missed the cut-off point! Gutted isn't even the word! I was SO annoyed. They never made clear how many tickets were available via the public ballot in total. Since the SS Hydro in Glasgow has a 13,000 capacity i'd like to know how many tickets are left because seated tickets were being sold for something like £40 and £65 respectively.

More ridiculous stunts on how to get tickets: Quote:
MTV have joined forces with Glasgow School of Art to create giant logos for the EMA Awards at the Hydro. As well as promoting the big event the designs will form part of an interactive treasure hunt that will give fans one of the last chances to get their hands on tickets to the bash.
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/whats-o...school-4481693With regards to the 'casting' stunt more info has come out. It basically is like auditioning to be on Big Brother! You're put in front of a panel of judges and you have to be weird and wacky. F*cks sake! http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/sc...-music-4473694 Do i have time to be going on some random interactive search all over Glasgow? No. Do i want to have to 'audition' to get tickets? No. What a mess! |

Does anyone have tickets for this yet? It's 4 days away and i'm still looking. I think i've got no chance of attending this now. I really hate the way they've handled the ticket allocation for this.
I see tickets are being flogged on Glasgow Gumtree for £300 upwards to £1500 which is just crazy money and i don't have that kind of money on me. I did see one seller selling 4 tickets for £25 which was an absolute bargain but yet again i missed it as this happened yesterday. I'm just not having any luck at all! My only chance was the ballot but i missed registration so was unable to apply. There was the Big Brother style casting for 2000 folk at the weekend who had to audition for tickets and now there's these MTV statues that are popping up in 'cool' places in Glasgow and all you have to do is take a selfie of you or you and your friends standing beside the statue and you've got a chance of winning tickets - the catch? You have to have an Instagram account and must post the selfie on Instagram. Oh, and there's only 1 winner. Yes, just 1 person will win tickets! There's just nothing but stunts yet normal music fans who don't want to play these stupid games and just want to buy a normal ticket the normal way have got no opportunity of going. I really hope someone from MTV UK is reading this! |

I agree that the tickets for this have been shockingly handled. They've really screwed over Glaswegian music fans.
There was no need to run a ballot for the tickets. I know that they did this to make it fairer but they just made people frustrated and upset at being unable to get tickets. A normal ticket release would have meant that people who really wanted tickets could have tried to get their hands on them. No more upset or frustration than normal after a big ticket onsale. If you were successful in the ballot, you were sent a code to allow you to buy tickets. These codes were then being sold on eBay, Gumtree and Twitter for up to £100. How did this make it fairer? After the initial ticket allocation for the ballot failed to sell out, more people were chosen at random to receive codes but the tickets still failed to sell out. All this time, there are many thousands of people who would be so grateful for a pair of tickets wanting to buy them but simply unable to. I had friends who were working at the casting at the weekend and said that it wasn't busy at all. Everyone who turned up at least got free standing tickets and those who did really well in their 'audition' also got wristbands for the red carpet. My friend said that roughly 200 people turned up on the Saturday and 400 on Sunday. Hardly the 2,000 tickets they had up for grabs! I understand that they want enthusiastic people on the floor if they're going to be on camera but I don't really know how they expected 2,000 people to traipse all the way down to The Hydro on a weekend to *possibly* receive tickets. If they'd said that simply turning up would get you standing tickets, they'd probably have filled all 2,000 places relatively quickly. Yesterday, they put all remaining tickets on public sale (including some standing tickets that they had previously said would only be available through the casting!) but gave no advance warning and simply did it through an email sent to those unsuccessful in the ballot. Additionally, the tickets that went on sale yesterday were better seats than those who were successful in the initial ballot were sold! Finally, four days before the event, the tickets sold out after an hour of this public on sale. With no advance warning, it seems to have (yet again!) been a lottery in whether you checked your emails quickly enough to be told that you could buy tickets. I can't really complain. I have tickets for Sunday's event plus the Biffy Clyro/Slash co-headline show MTV are putting on tomorrow night. But the entire ticketing process for this could've been handled so much better. |
