Received e-mails tonight informing me of my seats booking through the normal pre-sale booking. Might be interesting to compare with the FA seats.
Leeds 18/05: Block B, Row F, Seat 18
Newcastle 19/05: Floor Section A, Row K, Seat 56 (right along the very end as usual and predicted by Tunnel 85 and myself)
Glasgow 26/05: Section 006, Row E, Seat 95

Presale tickets from MK.com received tonight for Leeds and Birmingham... Pleased with the Leeds tickets... Still nothing will ever beat 1st row centre for 2nd night at the RAH in 2013!!
Leeds: Block D, Row D seats 1&2
Brum: Block B, Row YA, seats 9&10.
-
London O2
Block A1 row N
Worst seat I've ever had for MK - might even give it a miss.
Praying for RAH !
-
Birmingham - Block B, Row Y, seats 1, 2 and 3. Furthest away I have been since the Kill to Get Crimson tour by quite some margin. Oh well. At least I'm in the middle block. Might consider buying tickets for another show if more are announced.
-
Copenhagen, Row 2.
-
Madrid row 5 (pretty happy)
Amsterdam row 9 on the side (very unhappy, I now for a fact that people with higher order numbers are in front of me and more to the middle)
-
Herning, Denmark G2 row 7.
-
Paris, Door X, row 4, seats 6-8.
I was rejected in FA and clicked by the second when the presales opened.
Pretty pissed off.

WTF your are in the central block, just 4th row and you are moaning?
I exchange anyone of yours for mine :wave

I am moaning, yes, because I did everything right by the second. In the past I almost always got row 1 or 2 by doing that. This year I got row 2 for Bordeaux and Toulouse, row 5 for Strasbourg, row 4 for both Paris and Lyon, so that's not a progress at all. You can call me spoiled if you like, and it's true that it's no big deal and that nobody died, but still, this system sucks. I promise I was as fast as light for all these orders...
Waiting for Saint-Julien and Nîmes now.
-
Just got them:
-General admission for Saint-Julien as expected, no seats allocation anyway
-Row D in Nimes, again.
Thank you "Fair" allocation system...
-
Got row 3 for Kestenholz, pretty much centered. Exciting!
-
Leeds Block B Row H 13/14
Newcastle Section A Row J 41/42
Verona Row 3 42/44
Could have been better for Leeds & Newcastle, but Verona sounds OK!
-
Normal pre-sale Oberhausen: block 2 row B. Very good seats!
-
Rejected from FA. Standard Presale at 10:00 precise left me with ROW 7 for Copenhagen. What a joke this is.

Apologies :disbelief.

With pleasure as usual ! :)
Cheers

got my seats today and a total let down,pre sale tickets payment completed at 12.02,only 2 minutes after it opened and I got Glasgow block7 row tt,really only 2 rows from back of arena floor,could not have got worse seats in the whole arena!!!!
looks like I will try and buy tickets from another source for this concert.
really disappointed.

Interesting. I ordered my Glasgow ticket 3 minutes after opening due to the fact I had ordered my Leeds and Newcastle tickets prior to it and I am seated in section 006, Row E, Seat 95. Does clicking refresh and hovering with our finger on the button really make a difference...

https://support.markknopfler.com/support/solutions/articles/4000131577--how-is-inventory-allocated-between-fair-admission-and-markknopfler-com-presales-
Could this be the answer why some of you have seats at the back?
"People that receive tickets through the Fair Admission process are seated first. The regular MarkKnopfler.com presale on October 29 in most markets will have all remaining inventory.
Specifically, where MarkKnopfler.com is able to secure 1000 seats for a single show, there may be more than one price point of ticket in that inventory for that show. If there are only 600 of the most expensive tickets then the remaining 400 have to be the next best available and they are generally a little cheaper."
FA assigned randomly, pre-sale though is first come, first served isn't it? I don't know but this whole process was so confusing and unclearly described in the beginning when they launched the FA...

It doesn't appear to be first come, first served though; I have a better seat than zeusjazmin and had already ordered my other two tickets!

Weird.. I know MK.com page said that in FAQ/Support section....
I must have had maximum luck to snatch row 1 through FA....

Must have had maximum luck to snatch row 1 in FA...The funny thing is I decided the last day with a couple of hours left to register just to take the chance...
-
I could/would have better seats if I had just ordered through ticketmaster,fans seated a few rows behind me will have a better view on the raised seats,oh well I was first row dead centre at gl tour and first row left at privateering tour so my luck has ran out,and did I mention against front barrier standing at right in front of mk at the secc on the on every street tour :wave
-
I got 2 BBB row seats at the Chicago Theater, so second row! Very happy, never been that close for a show.
-
Block B Row F for Leeds - I guess they’re decent seats but much worse than I’ve ever had in previous presales. My receipt is timed 12.01, I couldn’t have been any quicker so maybe it’s not first come first served?
All in all I think the presales / (un)fair admission have been a shambles this time and have only served to upset the loyal fans.
-
Lucca had no FA. I ordered my tickets within a minute from the opening of the presale and I've got row 6. I'm not convinced that 5 entire rows sold out after 1 minute... I'd love to see how this "first come first served" is actually implemented.
-
I bought Verona in standard presale and got tickets in row 1 but at the edge :-\

how far at the edge ... which seats ?
-
For Verona I have Row 3 seats 42/44, so I am pleased. They seem to be close to the middle. :)

Val, you know the seating plan of the arena ? they number the seats starting with 1 from the middle to left (odd) and right (even). Have a look at
https://www.arena.it/arena/de/pages/preise-sitzplan-arena-verona.html
I have to be (very) happy this time ... got row 1 near middle :)
-
now when I check the seating plan there is no row tt :hmm
