Did I get the ticket schedule completely wrong?

I think I may have made a bit of a cock up and fed some mates duff information.

I was under the impression that Octobers ticket release was just an early bird release before the main release in April - ie, they sell a portion of the tickets now to those who want to book early, then bring the rest on sale next year.

Now its starting to sink in that maybe I've got it completely wrong and October was the main and only release (not counting returns, failed transactions, etc).

Anyone know for certain? I'm need to know whether to prepare for a punch next time I see a couple of my mates...

Yes, the tickets are sold out, but once the deadline for full payments is reached (28th Feb), anyone who hasn't paid the balance will lose their ticket and have their deposit refunded, minus a £10 charge. After that date, those tickets will be put back on sale, so you do have a second chance to buy, but you're going to have to be right on the ball to get some.

Damn, I think I'm gonna get a slap for that...

Was it the same last year? Thats the thing about getting tickets within 2 hours of release, you tend to miss everything that happens afterwards!

It was supposed to be 2 releases last year, and then they announced all of them were going on sale.

No one has confirmed completely if all the tickets were on sale this year or not, but sources suggest that not all were on sale

They held some of the tickets back last year, they don't seem to have done the same this time.

They'll probably be quiet a few opportunities to get tickets next year. There's the deposit deadline of 28th Feb and the last day you can cancel a ticket is 7th May, obviously there will be tickets available after these dates.

Several times during Spring cancelled tickets were made available for only a few hours at a time, I wouldn't be surprisd if the same thing happens next year.You just have to keep a look out.

If that fails, perhaps this will help.
