Markman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Kraftwerk play the Colston next year and tickets go on sale on the 30th Sept - I don't know why but if I ever take a morning off to get tickets like this I never seem to get through or get on line in time (I know KW are not everyone's cup of tea but I suspect demand will be high) - is there any way of beating the system - do people working there get advance options etc - I just feel a wasted morning coming Friday endlessly trying to get 2 tickets and failing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 28, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've always managed to get in for sell out artists there on the first day of tickets sales, I reckon Bristolian's are a bit laid back when it comes to tickets in adavance and unless it's heavily hyped and advertised, the tickets don't tend to go on the first day.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 You can sign up to be a member of the Colston Hall which gives you access to a pre-sale period I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the ticket prices for the Colston Hall may put some off (£50-£80) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply forged the letterhead of the fan club and took down a fake letter to the ticket office and got front row middle seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markman Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Fool that I am! I assumed you needed to be online for 10.00 to get tickets - so I very sneakily logged in at 9.50 and found myself at 892 in the queue!! I shall give up but why say tickets start selling at 10.00 if you can obviously queue for hours before - Grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
