Has anyone managed to get theirs yet?

I'm going to the Birmingham date, and as usual, the NIA site still isn't working
I waited on the phone for 20 minutes though, and managed to get tickets in Block 2! I think the price is really high for some reason, and I don't understand why there's a huge standing section, but apart from that... I can't wait!

I was going to post this! I'm going to the Sheffield one, I have £75 tickets, except I have NO idea where we're sitting because I ordered through the fan club pre-order and they didn't give me a seat number, I don't find out until I get there - I bloody hope I'm not standing, I'm too short for that!

I want to go to the Birmingham one too but I have nobody to go with.

Aaaaand I'm going to the Frankfurt one too because my best friend lives there.

Im not interested in Xtina anymore I was a few years ago and was hoping to see her but she cancelled Newcastle due to illness, but now I get an email from ticketmaster, Im sorry but wtf...£75 per ticket for Newcastle Arena!??!?! More to the point for Christina "I'll release my first album and top 10 single in ages and charge Madonna like prices" Aguilera!

No offence I didnt mean to shoot the post down!

I'll hopefully be getting free tickets to the Birmingham date. Anyone know who is supporting?

Free tickets??!

No idea who is supporting, but I'm guessing she'll have someone pretty good. Last time she toured here, the Black Eyed Peas supported her.

I don't get why the prices are that expensive either.. I've never paid so much for a ticket before. I wouldn't mind, but it's not even like the £75 seats are front row!!
I don't understand why she's got a huge standing section either... hmm.

That's one of the advantages of working for the press


I saw black eyed peas a few months ago, they were really good. But doubt they would support her now, too big and have just done a tour.

Oh, lucky you!

Yeah, they were really good. I know, I was just saying they supported her on her last tour, so she'll most likely have someone good this time around.
Most American artists/groups always seem to have really good support acts IMO.

As they're doing their own concert at the NEC a few days later, I doubt it will be them, lol.

totally agree-utter rip off. do the organisers not understand that her fanbase is younger people i.e kids and students etc. and that these age grups will be unable to afford these prices.

I really wanted to go see Christina as i think she'd be fab live but i looked @ the seatings on the pre order site and the only ones worth buying were either standing which would mean you'd have to get there early for good viewing or the £75 tickets which in my eyes is abit steep. It appears that gone are the days of all tickets being the same price and it being first come get best seats. Seems a new pricing plan is in order. £35 for crap seats at the back. £40 for ok seats or standing. £75 for great views. My mates paying the same price for Lionel Richie and hes a legend.

I'm glad it's not first come first served anymore, I'd rather shell out an extra few quid than stand there in the rain for the entire day to get a decent view.

Don't mind the price either, it'll be worth it. We can count on her to put on a good show.

I know what you mean.
Although, I still think £75 is a bit over-priced (a ticket for her last tour cost me £35 and I was only a few rows from the stage!?) I would still prefer a seat ticket, rather than standing. Standing is only good if you're within the first few rows from the front, lets be honest. So, if you're going to the venue really early then I'm sure you'll have a great view, if you're just going to turn up at the usual time, then good luck...lol
I've only ever had standing tickets for two shows before - Shaggy (LOL) and Take That. Both shows I was pushed around for most of it, and I didn't have a great view... so, unless I absolutely had to, I wouldn't choose to go for standing again.

LOL, I know.

When I first heard tickets were £75, I thought that would include the first front 3 blocks. When I found out the floor was taken up by a standing section, I couldn't believe it
It seems the £75 seats are all the lower tier seats, while the upper tier seats are £35. Standing tickets are £40, which is still damn expensive just to stand there for hours, if you ask me.

I paid £75 and I'm HOPING I'm seated but I haven't been told whether I'm standing or seated... I THINK I may be seated. The £75 tickets don't bother me because I've paid that multiple times before, and I'd pay significantly more than that to see Christina!

I'm dreading the thought of being standing - I'm only a few inches away from being a midget!

Well, I'm guessing if you paid that much then you must definitely be seated. As far as I know, all standing tickets are £40 and that's all.
£75 is the most I've ever paid for a ticket so far... I still think it's over-priced, but I'm sure she'll put on a great show!

LOL! Where did you get your tickets from? How come you don't know whether they're standing or seated?

I pre-bought them four days ahead through the fan club but they won't tell me where I'm sitting, LOL. My mate in Frankfurt pre-bought hers and they were almost sold out within an hour so I didn't wanna risk waiting til Friday.
