Searching for Beady Eye on that brings up nothing. I would stick to the normal ones or call that NME hotline

That was a bloody nightmare...managed to ge through at one point but the page never loaded so had to get back in the que only to be dissapointed. I knew this would happen.
If anyone has a spare GLASGOW ticket (any night) please let me know...willing to pay over face value.

Its weird, on that seetickets i seem to get through straight away to the next page where you say how many tickets and then put in your credit card details
Glad they seem to be selling well, nothing like the Oasis days though where everything crashed the second they started.

I wonder if they do all sell out quickly that they'll announce some more dates ? I'm still surprised at the days, eg no friday or saturday night ones. Wouldnt be surprised if they announced some more dates.
Could be 'testing the waters' in case they didnt sell out that well, once they realise they have surely they'll add more ?

Ebay is rife with tickets! It's ridiculous. Going rate for either date at Glasgow is between £100-£150.
Makes it difficult for the genuine fans, I hate it when people are let down due to greedy touts!

Yeah its frustrating when people do that. I've sold tickets face value in the past to fans but for all i know they could have then put them on ebay for 100 quid.
The worst ones are the ones coming out with 'just realised its my brothers sisters grandads budgies birthday so sadly i cant go to the gig but heres a buy it now for my tickets for £5000'
At the end of the day i hope people dont get them from ebay, but they will, so more and more people will look to buy tickets to flog on ebay.
I would turn up on the day, i've done that once before at Finsbury Park. Tickets were about 120 quid, wait for f*ckin in the bushes to start and then the price comes down to about 30/40 quid as they'll be worthless to the touts soon after.

It says on the beady eye website 'those who didn't get tickets, keep checking the site regularly' which suggests more dates to be added to me

TOP TIP -
if (like me) you're just going to buy tickets off ebay - just wait until late January/beginning Feb and you'll get the tickets cheaper
No point trying Ebay now because everyone is pushing the prices up!

Totally agree with the above. There'll be tickets on ebay for months yet. At the moment people are doing silly buy it nows and stuff, just wait nearer the time
(Or turn up on the day, yeah sounds like a risk but there are ALWAYS touts outside trying to buy/sell tickets all the time)

It's always cheaper to buy tickets on the actual day of the show. Although on this occasion i think tickets will just go quickly at whatever price. I remember when Oasis played Manchester Apollo in 2001 (10 years noise & confusion tour) and touts were selling tickets in the street for £150-£200. Strange thing, is that people were queing up to buy them. I ended up paying about £75 back then. Fucking expensive. Because there is a small amount of tickets and a large amount of fans (remember Oasis played to a total of 210'000 fans last year in Manchester), then touts will sell for whatever price people are prepared to pay. Wrong! But there you go. One good thing Oasis did back then, was hold tickets up to about one week before the show. This makes it difficult for touts to sell them on. So my adivce is buy nothing on ebay, as the actual tickets may not even be sent out until next year. Just get your arse down to the venue on the day and get whatever price you can.

I'm a bit miffed at the fact that I had about 40 IE tabs open in a seetickets queue while at the same time continually called by phone trying my luck that way as well getting only a busy signal. Started this process at about 9:55am to no avail. Switched over to ticketmaster about ten minutes into the sale and only got through to an order page on the website at around 10:20, but by then even trying to get 1 best available ticket for London Troxy either night came up not available. What a mess. Quite jealous of those who got tickets without any headache.
This same painful process occurred when I attempted to get tickets to see Noel play Royal Albert Hall last March. I watched the tickets on ebay skyrocket to upwards 200 a piece only to fall to about 100 per ticket a few weeks before the show. Snatched 7th row seats side of the stage for that one for about that price which I was quite happy about. Best thing for those in the same boat as me is to just play the waiting game while all the greedy touts make their quick pence.
edit- a kind soul contacted me privately offering up a face value ticket for Manchester which comes to show good fans look out for one another. Unfortunately as I'll only be in the UK for a few days and it's a bit of a hike from where I'll be, I had to turn down the offer. But I must ask anyway. Are there any similar good-hearted fans out there with an extra London ticket willing to spare? Please contact privately
