Got as far as the checkout but you need to pay by credit card, which I don't have. Going to try by phone.

Why CC ? I've got no problem paying with a visa debit...

Good to know Mine is Maestro (Dutch)

What a nightmare! - eventually got B21 and 22.

[Mr W]

Finally got it to work- cleared out the browser cache, restarted Internet Explorer... only got seats in row H this time but at least I got some!!!

I've skipped this 3 rows because I really couldn't understand the description they gave... yet F-4 is quite good

[Mr W]

I've been a little cheeky and have now actually bought two more tickets a bit closer in row F. So I have two spare tickets I can offer, they are H6 and H7, the left hand aisle and the one next to it. Good seats.

Send me a PM if you are interested, happy to let them go for £30 each (sold as a pair for £60) so you can save yourself a little £££ as well. Yorkie and Dani can hopefully vouch for me- I am real and the tickets are real!

Awful website and awful box office which was engaged and just told you to leave your number and they would ring you back when they got a chance. It wanted me to sign up which took 5 mins and then threw me out due to a error and then the website crashed and finally got though.

What a lot of stress for a Monday morning!


ETA - Mr W is totally legit and trust worthy

As I posted earlier, I had a bad feeling about the website and the timing of the either the online or 'phone box office going live.

I had decided that the reasons I never managed to get the best seats in the past is due to my relatively slow internet connect, coupled with relatively slow rather mature fingers! So this time I got my Son who lives in London to help me by logging into the website as well. He had one PC looking, I had two of mine plus the phone line.

So, 09:30 - Nothing, no sign of life on website, answerphone messages only. Must have called 20 times over the next 20 minutes or so. Endless refreshing - nothing.

Suddenly at around 09:55 the 'phone was answered by a real person! Yes I could book, would FRONT ROW be OK. Yes it would!!! Booked and paid for without problem. In the meantime my son had managed to reserve two tickets online as well and was holding them in case my transaction failed for some reason. He too had the front row. Once he knew I was safely booked he released his tickets.

I am really, really pleased .

They have already sold well over 100 tickets so that's really good going as Cambridge isn't the easy place to get to for some people in the u.k

[Surpinto]

I am really, really pleased .

Front row??? Awesome!

I'm sure you will give us a full, long-form review afterwards.

I used a photo that Jimmy posted a couple of days ago to draw on it the seats that fit the sitting chart, and I put the references.

Can you spot your exact seat ?



Rows A and B are 2 * 13
Rows C and D are 2 * 14
Row E is 2 * 5
Rows F and G are 2 * 6
Row H is 2 * 7

Row J to HH are 2 * 7

I was so surprised and excited when I got through on the 'phone rather than the website and was told I had 2 x front row seats that I totally forgot to ask which seat numbers I'd purchased . I'll have to wait and see what the postman delivers! I'm quite surprised to see as I write this that there's still a pair of seats available in Row D and that the other E-H premium rows haven't filled yet. Early days perhaps but I thought take up would be a lot faster than it actually is.

The Postman has now confirmed A18 & A19 - Just about perfect

[danny-bulgaria]

So tempting... My current seat is a bit behind but it's quite in the centre and I am not sure if getting some of these would be a good idea... Still thinking about getting one more seat just in case

I registered an account in the cathedral, run through the payment process to understand the check out system for an hour the day before. So in Monday, I sat in my office and frustratingly kept pressing F5 for half an hour praying no one from my back would notice. At this very moment, my colleague came to talk to me for 20 minutes! After he left, the best sits were gone

BTW, I am going to buy the train ticket, is that leaving at 10:30pm good enough?

Do you mean travelling back to London? You should be okay to catch the 22:57. There are earlier options available if you want to dash away quickly after the concert.
