Quote: NtW "Must admit to (again) being frustrated by the whole experience - basically, I want £45 tickets in the lower tier, and cannot get any. There is absolutely no way that these have all sold out - they clearly haven't all been released yet. What annoys me is that I now have to either take 'worse' seats/pay more that I want to, and then someone else in a few days time can come and pick up the seats I would rather have. I'm with karetaker, you should be able to pick your seats, and they should all be released in one go. That may increase the risk of odd seats here and there (though in practice probably wouldn't really, and you can set the system up so that people cannot deliberately leave 'free' seats in the middle of rows, unless taking say the last 4 of 5 seats available), but even if that's the case, the people losing out would be those who book last, who have to split up.'"
The 45 quid lower tier ones have always been the most popular, they were previously 35 quid and in 2009, i chose to go for them, as i predicted most ppl would go for the super cheap tickets, either up in the loft or right at the front of the lower stand. In 2010 they again were most popular and in 2012 they went to up 45, i can easily believe that these were the first ones sold out based on not being in the nosebleeds and not being extortionate prices.
