On Reddit, fans have been sharing their joy after securing tickets to see The Weeknd at Wembley Stadium, and there’s a trick you need to know before this week’s general sale (12pm on Friday, September 12).
“Keep refreshing!!!! I refreshed for a whole hour after being 800 in the queue to see nothing available,” one fan revealed, saying the once grey ‘sold out’ map then refreshed with available seats. “Finally it popped back up all blue and I got in.”
Another added: “I was waiting in the queue at 12pm and then when I got in, they had no tickets. So I went back to work, and I’ve just got home, and they have tickets available!!!
“Refresh and you’ll get some tickets. I got mine too, after refreshing countless of times, and I got tickets for in the second ring. As long as I’m there, it’s good for me.”
“Keep searching for ‘best available seats‘, sometimes I think people cancel their tickets, which become available again. I got my tickets for Amsterdam like one hour after the sale started and I was like 20K in the queue,” revealed another fan, so even if it seems hope is lost, tickets might still pop up.
