How do I get tickets to see Olly Murs in concert? Hints and tips for improving your chances of bagging tickets on the day!

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 9 September at 9:30 here Ticketmaster.co.uk.  Please note, there’s a maximum of 8 tickets per person buying tickets.

Here’s what you can do, to help secure those tickets. Notepads at the ready! Check out these top tips to improve your chances of bagging the best Olly Murs tickets when they go on sale.

1. Open your account and log in now

Get the details out of the way before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. We recommend checking passwords, delivery address and billing information now, to reduce any stress when processing your order later on. Head to Ticketmaster.co.uk and log in to your account to get started.

2. Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window when you’re being pushed through the virtual queue and always resist the urge to refresh. Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game.

Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen is actually doing something and will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

3. Remember the presale

If you’re a lucky O2 Priority member, you can get access to tickets at O2 venues 48hrs before everyone else! Their presale opens 9:30 Wed 7 Sept (sadly this is all the information we have on this right now). Max 4 tickets per person.

4. Check when tickets are available – even once they’re on sale

Keep up-to-date with news at Twitter.com/TicketmasterUK . If anything changes with Olly Murs tickets – anything at all – our social followers will be the first to know about it.

We send real time updates as the general sales happens, including any technical difficulties that might occur (there are a lot of Olly Murs fans, remember) and alerts on when new tickets come available. When we have popular tours come on sale, we try our very best behind the scenes to secure as many tickets for you as possible and here’s where you’ll know if we’ve been successful.

5. Don’t oversleep on Friday

That would be disastrous.

We said it before, we’ll say it again; Olly Murs tickets go on general sale 9:30 Friday 9 Sept 2016 here.
