Bloody balls: MBV tickets sell out in seconds. UPDATE II: more new dates confirmed
- Artists:
- My Bloody Valentine »
Well, seriously: what did you expect? These are the hottest tickets of 2008.
All tickets for My Bloody Valentine's comeback shows - all three of them - next summer have sold out.
A simple click here will show you as much.
One DrownedinSound.com user, 'homesick_alien', posted his feelings in a message board thread:
"I'm sobbing into my coffee right now. I even came in to work early and everything."
However, rumours abound that MBV will announce two further London dates, at least, on June 21 and 22. Also, processing problems at seetickets.com have seen some customers who missed out receive confirmation e-mails stating they have been successful in purchasing tickets, albeit for the wrong date and in the wrong name.
To cut to the chase: more details on everything when we have them.
Those sold-out dates:
June 2008
20 London Roundhouse
28 Manchester Apollo
July
2 Glasgow Barrowlands
UPDATE: new London dates, for June 21 and 22; and new Manchester (29/06) and Glasgow (03/07) dates have been confirmed. Tickets are on sale here.

what makes me feel better though is that those dates look like they are ripe for a glasto apperance.
well
i might have just bought some off the roundhouse website. its taken me about half an hour mind.
yup
got 2 from the roundhouse box office about 75 minutes after they went on sale
Roundhouse website
still selling tickets. It's painful but it just worked for me so keep trying.
Won't they just be on Ebay
being touted anyway...?
yeah
but two tickets had reached 160 squid the last time i looked!
whoop whoop!!
i've got tickets, nerner nernernerrrrr! ;-)
Other stage headliner slot
would be pretty awesome
eh...
They're only sold out on seetickets, there are still ones on ticket scotland! For Glasgow, that is.
ermmm....
manchester hasnt sold out yet...
Keep trying the roundhouse
I think I have some... My top tip is log in first as they only hold the tix for 15 minutes and it takes AGES to go through checkout
http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/productions/my-bloody-valentine-1834?action=seats
i just purchased 2 standing tickets
from the roundhouse website direct.
if it doesn't time out in the 15 minutes window you will be ok.
good luck!
just go standing tix
off princessbekki's link. definately worth logging in first
this roundhouse website is bullshit
i click for 2, then they dont appear in the basket
It's fucking annoying
It's now saying that the performance is sold out! Grrrr
remember
seetickets arent the only people who sell tickets..
if
you go through enter the code or whatever there is still seating.
Keep trying
I was just able to score 2 off the roundhouse site. Took ages, but I got em.
Success!
Tip: if once you click through to basket and it's empty, it means someone has beaten you to the tickets you selected. Don't go back to the beginning of the process, stay on the page that says select number of tickets and refresh until you end up with some tickets in the basket. Worked for me!
No
It's sold out!
Keep trying...
Tickets get thrown back into the mix if payment details aren't accepted
keep refreshing
on the roundhouse site, i just bought one.
it says sold out and then you refresh 2 seconds later and they have tickets again.
YES
see you in the main spaces, just got them off the roundhouse website, keep on trying people!
See tickets
Are completely unfit for purpose
Poor
Got through to the booking site and then told my application had F'd up and I could go whistle as they've sold out - Rubbish
seetickets are shit
keep trying on roundhouse.
also, roundhouse = £26 all in.
see = £32.50
I got an e-mail a couple of days ago
it was a confirmation e-mail from seetickets, to me, thanking me for buying two tickets to see Marc Almond in Birmingham.
Shame I didn't actually buy any tickets to see Marc Almond in Birmingham, but they haven't got back to me about who the e-mail was actually for, and I've got some bloke's ticket reference number and everything.
From Myspace:
The Friday June 20 show sold out lightning fast this morning, so we are pleased to announce that additional shows on Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 have now been added.
Tickets will be available shortly at www.seetickets.com, www.wegottickets.com, www.gigantic.com and www.roundhouse.org.uk
this
hopefully they didnt charge me as i twice got 2 tickets then on the confirmation screen said please contact venue on [number] there may be a problem with allocation - or something along those lines. hopefully they dont charge me...
the third time it gave a pop up saying there'd sold out. so i went to ticketmaster and within 1 minute had my tickets. seetickets = poor.
MBV TIX
NOW ON SALE THRU SEE TICKETS FOR 22ND & 23RD (LONODN DATES)
to clarify
deep breath, I just bought 2 tickets for Sat 21st June at the Roundhouse
Their Manc date is the Saturday of Glastonbury
So whilst not impossible, I think that makes them pretty unlikely to play Glast.
Saturday now sold out too
Just got tix for Sunday. Hurry!
sitting on saturday?
anybody bagged any sitting down tix for saturday... i know - i'm old!! LOL!
cant see them anywhere so far. roundhouse not answering phone!! website say not available! i am sure they will be.
i'm going on the sunday
Hoorar!
"in seconds"?
I got 3 tickets for the Glasgow show at 9:35 this morning
reply to myself!
got thru to roundhouse on phone, all gone! YIKES!!
got 3 standing instead. YAY!!!
...in 90mins!
My better half got tix from the Roundhouse website at 10:30am, alas they seem to be one of the very last few standing available
SeeTickets are truly dreadful, let alone extortionate
~x~
seetickets? no i don't!
I spent my morning looking at a screen telling me I couldn't get into the site- all sold out when I did. Seriously, why don't SEE tickets sort their act out? They had all those other big tours going on sale, their website ought to be able to cope- if it can't then let someone who's can do it. Fucking rip off merchants on booking fees too.
and now theres saturday tickets
and some people have bid like £220 qid on ebay for 2 tickets for friday
sick
Dudes
GO to the roundhouse website for ticket - less expensive the Seetickets and not sold out (last time I looked).
Anyone want my spare room....
...for Glasgow dates? My rates are very reasonable!!!
This is sooooo good - got my tickets at 9am this morning, was second in queue at shop and even managed to get into work in time!!
What happened to good ol' fashioned queuing outside shops? I arrived at 8.30am and was second in line!
once again
touts have ruined a lot of people's chance to go without having to pay an inflated price. look how many are on ebay already for more than double face value
http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=my+bloody+valentine+london
Can e-bay
not ban touts??
ebay
can't they do what they do with football tickets and prohibit resale?
i am ANNOYED
you should...
(if you have the time) report the item and explain that ebay is allowing touting and inflating prices of gigs, blah blah blah.
do it, everyone, report a tout.
YES!!
And has anyone else noticed that the same folk touting outside gigs are also the same ones selling bootleg items?
After a Morrissey gig a few years ago, everyone rebelled and stole all the touts items!! More things should happen like this!!
Another Glasgow date?!
If I'd known that I wouldn't have had to leave at about 7am this morning to make sure I got tickets >_<
tickets
still available on the roundhouse site- bravo etc
they just
emailed me with words to that effect. And I know for a fact I have enough money in my account to cover it.
Gays.
London standing tix
still on sale for the 3rd date on seetickets
2 standing Sat night up for grabs
Bought in error - I just got 2 seats too when they became available since I prefer to sit being old. Like most MBV fns I wexpect.
Anyone want them? 60 quid the pair - what I paid.
yay! two tickets for the secon mcr date!
boo! seetickets ass-rape booking fees!
Sat down on Saturday
That'll do me nicely. It's not as if there will be a mosh pit.
I arrived about
five minutes after you and was around sixth in line
Seetickets? Peetickets.
Shishapangma, you got it dead right! The fees on Seetickets are outrageous and if I can possibly book elsewhere, I will. Thankfully they've seen sense and stopped using the awful SMS and started using Royal Mail again. And their Customer Services department is just as shite - no replies to e-mails and phone staff who can offer nothing more than what's on the online ticket tracker!
Got on to the slow, but seemingly reliable Roundhouse website at 10.30am and got tickets for Friday, so can't grumble too much.
Oh, and someone out there booked up 4 tickets for MBV in Manchester and their confirmation ended up with me. I sent it on to Seetickets, but have had no reply.
And why the feck do they put tickets for a number of large tours on sale at the same fecking time, bringing poor sites like Seetickets into meltdown?
Still, if so much as one Take That, Athlete or Gabrielle fan missed out on tickets, because one more MBV fan was hogging the webspace... Ha ha ha!
ebay tickets
The sheer volume of tickets all over ebay suggests that they'll be going for a pittance come next May. Already some are not selling. Although I haven't got one I'm pretty sure I wil have by the time the gigs are.
Oh, and if you fancy a laugh look at all the Sex Pistols tickets being touted- none of them selling. I love it when touts lose money!!!
I don't understand
I managed to get tickets for the first Manchester date from Ticketmaster at 6pm.
