Surprisingly, some premium seats became available again 1 hour and 15 minutes after sales opened.
Usually, when a purchase isn't completed, the ticket is released much sooner.
In any case, there are still some great seats left :)

I submitted my ETA application at 23:05 and at 23:07 I received a second email saying :
"Your ETA application has been approved.
Your ETA is valid from 2 APRIL 2025 to 2 APRIL 2027.
You can travel to the UK as many times as you want until your ETA expires.
" :)
After being successful today to get my concert ticket (what a nerve-wracking procedure on a sunny Saturday afternoon :shock: ), I thought it would be a good time to apply for ETA as well :D Despite the current bad reviews of the UK ETA app, it worked quite well for me and I immediately recieved my application approval, so I can recommend it. And now nine weeks of anticipation! :)

If anybody is looking for a pair of premium tickets in row B next to the aisle drop me a DM.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Wow! Such a large proportion of tickets sold already and it's only day one. I guess the rest of the purchases will trickle in and it will truly be sold out.

No concert for me this time. I am in the Lake District for a week hiking with friends that was planned already Months ago. So next time will be December unless there will be a summer concert in the UK.
Enjoy!

I love the lakes, as much as I enjoy Libera, I would not pass up the opportunity for a nice hike in the Lake district. Have a wonderful time.

No suggestions as I'm not familiar with the area, but I'm sure someone will lend a hand soon. But I'm glad that you have your second concert to look forward to! :D I'm sure it promises to be amazing!

There are a number of good hotels in the Shoreditch area which would only be a short bus ride along Bishopsgate and then across the Thames via London Bridge.
The transport links are great and numerous. I mention Shoreditch because it would be a cheaper option if you want to be relatively close to the Cathedral while staying within a budget.

Southwark Cathedral sits in a tourist hotspot with the world famous Borough Food Market on its doorstep. It’s also in the shadow of The Shard, so hotels in the vicinity will be pricey.

If you’d rather try some hotels a bit further away just ensure you have easy transport links to London Bridge Station. As long as you have an easy route to that Station getting to the Cathedral will be a breeze.

Another option would be completely out of town, with a direct service to the east coast. This could be an option for any European travelers, as Southend city Airport is on a main line, that serves Easyjet flights from Paris, Amsterdam and more.

The Cathedral website has set a page for the concert on its 'What's on' section.

Thanks for the recommendations! Managed to book a hotel along the Jubilee line for easier transport.
