ARGGH!!!!!!!!!!
 
I am so pissed off right now.

Raw is coming to sheffield, UK in November and tickets went on sale at 9am this morning. I went to the website and managed to get tickets...2nd row ringside!

However, the way ticket booking works in the UK is that the tickets are only reserved for twenty minutes for you. The clock began counting down and it took me two minutes to fill in all the details, only to be told that my tickets were no longer available.

I tried to purchase more, but could only get tickets for up in the gods. I'm not going to bother now. What annoys me is that these tickets will not have gone to genuine fans. Instead, they will be in the hands of people who only want to make money by selling them for £300 a pair to genuine fans on ebay, etc.

What's availability like in the US...how can you get ringside tickets and how much are you expected to stump up?

Wow, what a stupid system they have on that site. You probably saved your money anyway tbh, unless you really want to sit through a bunch of squash matches.

Dude, if you wanna go to the actual RAW or SmackDown tapings, go to www.ticketmaster.co.uk there's still some lower tier available, do it sharpish though.

SmackDown is also your best bet. It's not in Sheffield though; Manchester.

I've got my tickets for both, SmackDown floor seats behind the commentators, and for RAW I've got midway up the lower section. So both decent.

I could have still gotten tickets for the event at sheffield, but I have been to see the shows in the UK a few times. I wanted to spend that little bit more for the experience, just to say I was "ringside".

I'm not going to bother, and tbh, now I've had time to think about it, I've saved just under £100 (more if you think about the incremental spending I'd be doing on programs, merch and refreshments).

Hmmm, this is the first time that they'll have held the Raw and Smackdown tapings in two different cities.

NoRoolz 04-26-2008 03:48 PM

The actual TV tapings are both in Manchester.

I have a feeling I've wrongly interpreted what you said but no matter how many times I read your post I can't figure out how :D

I grabbed a couple of £60 tickets in the tier. Was totally impossible to get through today. Was dialling the phone from 9-10:30. In the end just went on the internet and got the best I could. I also have row 6 tickets for the house show in Cardiff 2 days before asswell, so pretty pleased about going to 2 shows in 3 days!

Then Mania next April!! Good year for live events for me.

Team Sheep 04-26-2008 08:05 PM

My tickets are for Smackdown in Manchester btw.

NoRoolz 04-26-2008 08:12 PM

Whereabouts you sitting for that Sheepy?

You going on your todd?

Team Sheep 04-26-2008 08:17 PM

For Manchester?

NoRoolz 04-26-2008 08:29 PM

Yeah, SmackDown there.

Team Sheep 04-26-2008 08:42 PM

Sweet :D

I somehow managed to get floor seats with a mate, Block C, Row M, which is behind the commentators, should be awesome.

I'll holla @ you nearer the time :y:

Team Sheep 04-26-2008 08:57 PM

I've always had really good luck at getting through early and getting decent floor seats for past events, but it just wasn't happening this morning :/ Congrats with you and your seats though! :y:

Yeah man sounds like a plan. Up for that.

:D you'd be the first TPWW'er I've met.

I wonder if in my seats a sign could get on T.V?

Same, never met anyone before. Be a laugh!

I had a TPWW sign on TV at Raw in Sheffield a couple of years ago lol. Though unless you're sitting on the camera side I'm not sure if you want to bother with a sign. Could still try though.

NoRoolz 04-26-2008 09:24 PM

Well behind the commentators, that floor section is usually seen on T.V. Row M which is midway, so I dunno, probably in with a chance, more-so when wrestlers taunt on the turnbuckles and that.
