On the eve of the ticket sale, our fearless leader, Caroline Green, set her alarm to 1:45am Mountain Standard Time, August 31, 2024, with Champagne Supernova as the ringtone, for an extra dose of manifestation.
Upon awakening, Green was on the phone with her sister, who said the Ticketmaster website had crashed on her end, leaving her unable load the site.
Turns out there were thousands of people who experienced a similar site crash.
There are also reports that some tickets were bought by resellers and relisted for prices that rose to range of £8,000 (approx. $14,765.42 CDN at the time this was written).
Green said their tickets rang in at £553.15 (approx. $1,020.94 CAD) for 2 x Premium Seat Package tickets and 2 x Oasis Live Souvenir tickets (Section 124; Row 20; Seats 55 & 56).
As for strategy, Green said she thinks that having left Ticketmaster open on the Oasis page on her laptop the night before, and then hitting the “refresh” button at exactly 2am, did the trick – but really, who knows.
“I’m the 1%,” said Green
boasting a subtle brag.
Green entered the “Waiting Room” at under 1-minute wait time,
and then at 3,264th
“In the Queue”.
“I had the page open already,” Green said.
“But, I also found an
adder stone / hag stone the day before, so perhaps luck was simply on my side”
