Usually just having the card with you is enough. And if you have the same last name even easier.

Shit I don't think so :O

This is a major flaw in the paperless ticket thing. I get the idea behind it but it prevents people buying tickets as presents, buying for family members etc.

I've done paperless tickets recently, and they have a card reader that scans your card and prints off a ticket receipt. Can't remember if I've been asked for ID that matches the card though. Back in the day when I used to buy tickets on my mums card, she would write me a signed letter that said I was allowed to collect them on her behalf. Maybe that would work with this?

Try adding your card as a payment method in your Ticketmaster account now. (If you don't have a Ticketmaster account, then create one first). I suspect that if it allows you to add the card now, then it will be acceptable for payment later. This way, you remove one stressful step from the buying process.

He's a keeper! Honestly, your best bet is to pay for them yourself and then he pays you. Not so romantic, maybe, but *waaay* sadder to be turned away. The rules say photo ID and the payment card are required, where they'll expect them to match the name on the ticket. Shows like this usually require the ticket buyer to attend. A pain in genuine cases of wanting to transfer ticket ownership, but great to avoid touts.

I've seen people in tears at ID-required gigs when they realise that not only are they not going to get in to their special night, but that they've also lost a whole load of money...

Oh just noticed it says in there:

This is also where you'll find any members only exclusive promotions such as ticket pre-sale codes plus a history of the photos you've uploaded to muse.mu and the comments that you've made.

I wonder if the £250 ticket is standing at the front, or some sort of hospitality package. I'd pay £250 just to be in the pit... but it's borderline ridiculous for a standard ticket.

I have a ticket for Leeds as well... but have heard nothing about the code for that presale yet. Gonna be a long day of looking at my phone for these emails today...

Just tried that, but that only works for credit cards. Apparently, you need a card number and security code for a payment with a debit card as well. Mine doesn't have that, so I guess Dutch debit cards are different than UK ones...

Now I could use my virtual prepaid credit card, but that would mean I have no physical credit card to show at the door...

EDIT: Was able to ad my virtual card as a payment method, so I guess I can buy tickets with it. Still, the 'no physical card'-problem remains

Just used your own card to pay for the ticket and your husband can transfer you the money if he wants to pay for it.

You usually have a ticket that is specific to the balcony level, then it is unreserved.

[elvis4nuts]

Anyone got an email yet?!

[ryanp16]

Nope.

Not expecting one till maybe 5pm UK time.
