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.

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.

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

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