I want to buy my daughter tickets to see Take That (ideally on a Saturday preferreably Manchester) but can't find where the official tickets are on sale. Is this because they are all sold out?

There are a lot of sites advertising them but I have gone through the Ticketmaster site for the date/venue I want and for altrnatives but it then says sorry not available.

Can anyone help- I'm a novice at buying event tickets on line-or is there any where I can talk to someone and book over the phone?

Play.com - they have a tickets section and im sure ive seen take that tickets on there.

I would imagine they are sold out - which means you will probably have to pay more than what they sold at (cos people buy 6 when they need 2 and sell the other 4 and makes lots of profit):rant:

Play.com is worth a go
Lastminute.com is sometimes good
E-bay is probably the best bet.

Thanks, I am nervous about buying them from ebay in case they aren't legit! but i may bite the bullet and do that anyway

See tickets are reliable, the links take you directly to the Take That sales:

As are ticket master:

Only buy tickets from Official Outlets such as ticketmaster/seetickets/aloud etc. Or the venues website.

Failing that, keep trying www.scarletmist.com for any that might come up as available as they'll only be sold at face value on there.

If I can't get tickets through those means, I don't go. Ebay is a complete rip off, and I never understand how people can let themselves be ripped off by tout websites.

Keep trying these websites even if they say sold out. I've often got tickets at the last minute when extras/cancellations have been released. I got my Leeds Festival ticket the day before from seetickets.

I don't mean to have a go at people or be rude, but generally, if something is sold out and you get a website having 'guaranteed' tickets, it's a con.

thanks, I had my doubts about ebay. I'll keep tryng

if you can take a bit of advice keep clear of e bay, i learnt from past mistakes and was ejected from a venue, scammed tickets, beware:(

I've got 4 x Michael Jackson tickets if anyone wants to make me a sensible offer.

How come you were ejected? Did someone else have tickets for the same seats? Did the seller have a decent feedback score? Quite worried now!

the scenario was, royal albert hall in jan 09, cirque de soleil was just starting, someone else came to our seats , our tickets had been voided so we were ejected along with 6 others on the night.
tickets were bought on a stolen credit card and put on e bay.
sellers feedback was good as no one knew tickets were dud till 3 months later and this seller had 50 pair of tickets on offer, nice little scam!

I personally wouldn't use eBay to purchase tickets. If it was something I really wanted to go to, such as a WWE event (I pray that one day they'll hold a Wrestlemania sized event in UK) or Hairspray the musical, then I'll save up and buy tickets from a proper licensed vendor, such as seetickets.com, I won't use ticketmaster on principle, they expect you to have the typing speeds of Data off Star Trek, even I can't type that fast and I've had formal typing lessons, long switch card numbers and your address typed in under 2 minutes? Not humanly possible.
