  • zoey h. Im not sure how I got them either tbh, obviously super happy that i did. and I really do feel sorry for everyone that is a true fan that didnt get tickets, thats the main thing I keep tweeting at the moment, fingers crossed there will be more shows soon, so that everyone that really wants to go can! :)

  • I am just gutted I didn't get a ticket! Like others, was refreshing for ages..had them in the basket then sold out! There is definitely something dodgy going on but I am sure Florence has no input whatsoever & we will all be at her later tour dates no doubt! Stilll very gutted & envious of those who can afford the ridiculously priced tickets on the net!

  • YasminLeigh we are true fans of Florence, who also were refreshing but not sure how you managed two get these tickets as I also had two tickets in my basket and went to pay for the and the site then told me it had sold out...it was only 9.03am,,,this is the reason why everybody who is a fan is upset....However enjoy the show as you seem to be one of the lucky ones!!!

  • for all of you calling yourself true fans, im pretty sure that florence knew nothing about this, and its probably a small gig, and considering that this is the only uk gig of this year there were going to be a lot of people after a small amount of tickets, stay true to florence if your that bigger fan of hers. I was on the website refreshing from 7:30, pure dedication pays off, cos I got two tickets. MUCH LOVE TO FLORENCE.

  • Should be made illegal. It's morally bankrupt.

  • Not only sold out at 9am, but available on all the ticket tout websites: Getmein, Seatwave, Viagogo etc, for prices ranging from £175 upwards. Why isn't this illegal?

  • On external sites like DigitaSpy...the only date and time for tickets was 09:00 on 14th October...Nothing about there being a pre sale. emmajency has it spot on when she says "Florence and the Money Making Machine". Flo should be made aware of what is being done in her name. Not a way to make sure your fans stay with you, that's for sure.

  • Much as I worship Florence, that love is likely to diminish somewhat if fans feel ignored and unvalued. Although it is the money making machine that surrounds her which is largely responsible, I believe all artists have a duty to ensure that they reward fans' interest and devotion. That includes making sure that they are not stuffed by the commercial greed seen today. Florence and the Money Making Machine!

  • I was waiting half an hour in advance refreshing the page, I clicked on buy sign as soon as it came up and amazingly the tickets were all sold out. Although florence is incredibly popular it is beyound belief that the tickets sold out in less then a minute. I feel that the company must of sold/ given away a huge chunk of the tickets even before they went on sale to the true fans. I am so disappointed, I mean how can there be tickets on ebay from 23hrs ago its a complete money scam.

  • Seem's like all genuine fans of Flo are left hung, drawn and quatered....whats the point of them emailing us to buy these tickets when they have already sold out - or probably given to music industry insiders to veiw her new album....totally gutted as said on my last post! I wonder if Flo herself reads this and see's the dissapointment her fans face ??? Totally Gutted!!!

  • still crying I was waiting since 8.30 and when they came on they were all sold out!?! then theres a pair on ebay going for 2,200 pounds!!! How is this fair. As much as I love florence, I think it was unfair because the only advertising was on her site for today at 9.00am. When was this pre sale?? Well I think there were no tickets in the first place. UNFAIR!!

  • tickets@sandbag.uk.com but i suggest for people with twitter accounts if florence has one to tweet her becuase it takes the p*ss they are now on viagogo for like £200 a ticket!!!!

  • I'm gutted, I had 4 pages open, I had 2 tickets, trying to proceed to the next page and then it was sold out. It's unfair that so many were sold on presale this way. And paying 3,99 to watch the show online is NOT the same and not in anyway a consolation.

  • When was the pre-sale then????!!!!!

    Posted by missylj on Fri 14 Oct, 2011

  • total and utter con, tickets were sold out the second the site opened and i wonder how long the tickets have been available on tout sites ??? not fair, someone is making a lot of money here

  • There's quick and then theres a rip off.

    Posted by perihar on Fri 14 Oct, 2011

  • I got two tickets on the website at 9am. I had two browsers open and only got through on one. They went ridiculously quickly.

  • Tickets were NEVER available on the site. I was refreshing like tweewy since 08:50 and nothing. Who can we email our anger to. Florence fans ripped off!!!!

    Posted by Mark Archer on Fri 14 Oct, 2011

  • Look at the amount of tickets already available for ridiculous amounts at seatwave and getmein!
