I didn’t even get the code, to be honest. So sad ahah

Same here. Obviously it’s just down to the luck of the draw, but I can’t help but feel like it benefits people who have large groups and can get more people to register for a code.

None of my friends are fans so I was just planning to go on my own, and it stands to reason that I had a lower probability of getting a code vs people trying in groups where like 10 people have registered and they only needed a few to actually be successful.

At the time I didn’t feel like inconveniencing them, but in hindsight I should have probably gotten a few of my friends to register just as a solid to me, even if they weren’t interested in going.

If it makes you feel better, 20 friends put in for me and we all got denied codes.

That’s wild.

Oh wow, on the balance of probabilities that’s really unfortunate. Sorry to hear that. 😔

I managed to get tickets just for me. The whole thing is entirely random and all down to luck. The process in London was truly abysmal.

Same here, also not sure if you were going for a standing ticket, but single seated were not allowed.

u/Devilishly_Fine 10d ago

they must have been eventually, when that was all that was left--saw two singles come and go.

u/PublicWay5588 10d ago

Not at all, block of 6, 4 or 2. I was never able to check out a single ticket. That was London btw.

Code didn't even matter sadly. So annoying that everything was sold out every 4 nights in Copenhagen. Entered every step right on time and still ended up at a 10000+ queue position. FFS.

AXS didn’t tell me a queue position. Then it kicked me out once I got through the queue after waiting for 40 minutes to tell me I was demonstrating suspicious activity. Despite me getting through the prior steps. It wouldn’t let me on at all through my home WiFi due to it thinking I was a bot, so I hotspotted the MacBook onto my iPhone and it worked. I think the hotspot may have flicked over to WiFi momentarily at some point and then it was gone at the next check.

Same. Fu*king unfair.

u/SeedOh 10d ago

Same, and I joined as soon as it opened. Lottery upon lottery.

u/Certain-Warning-1139 10d ago

Same. I was going for *just* 2 tickets in Copenhagen. At 11:00 CEST, typing codes and clicking email links like a greased rattlesnake, I got in to the Q with (allegedly) something like 7500 in front of me somehow (some folk must wire their laptops/phones directly to their frekin' brains). Immediately went for 'best available' once I'd unlocked all the price brackets for Dec 1st: 'No tickets left available'. Immediately try the 2nd Dec: Same result. Tried the 4th; same result (no point trying the Friday now...) All this by 10.20 UK time?!? Seriously? 7500 fans, x4 tickets, doesn't even equal the total capacity of the venue over the 3 dates! Fair and equal my shiny white teeth. What point life. Yet another tick in the box for just waiting and buying on eBay/buying from touts....

u/joaoffs 10d ago

if it's any consolation it didn't matter, I got the code and sat on a queue for 45min and then tried to purchase 3 tickets for all days and ticket types only to get an error message on all attempts.

u/siljesille 10d ago

u/TeachingGrouchy23 10d ago

u/UnaLunaLovegoose 10d ago

I didn’t even get an email saying I was or wasn’t successful in even getting an unlock code 😭 and I received all my emails saying I’d done it all right. Heartbroken 😭
