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 Igot 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 suck. I promise I was as fast as light for all these orders...
Waiting for Saint-Julien ans Nîmes now.

Sorry I did a mistake, door X is actually left side block , you got not that good seat for Paris

Apologies  :disbelief.

Rejected from FA. Standard Presale at 10:00 precise left me with ROW 7 for Copenhagen. What a joke this is.

Amsterdam block B row 8
Antwerp block 002 row 9

Both checked out within 2 minutes after the start of the presale. Previous years got me better seats that way. Anyway, I am happy with the locations I have.

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....

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.
