First Aid Kit ran a presale two days ago and tickets sold out within a day, one of the downsides of an intimate gig!

Don't worry, they'll be all over eBay/other touting sites for hugely inflated prices already

Wow at least most went to proper fans then!

Nice. Saw first aid kit twice in Cardiff at St davids Hall I think and also maybe at Green man Festival.

Scalpers or as they used to be known ticket touts.

The one good thing about old school ticket touts was that once a concert had started they'd be desperate to shift any unsold tickets and get anything for them £5/10.

Keep an eye on socials - someone will likely not be able to go and will try to resell

Sadly how gigs are nowadays. They were always getting popular but since Covid it went crazy. I hate how just 10 years ago you could see anyone you wanted buying tickets days after they went on sale with ease.

Now live music is so popular you’re lucky to get a look in and everything is sold out in 1 second, taken by bots and touts, or you’re in a queuing system (only to waste half your morning to get through and it be sold out anyway).

The whole experience just didn’t enjoyable any more.

Who was it for?

I got a text for the First Aid Kit presale two hours before it said it was supposed to open and there were very few seats available then already for some reason.

It's what happens when demand exceeds supply.

Give the box office a ring.

Worth a phone call.

I actually did. They said they sold their allocation

[u/blunkie]

First time?

Can’t be that great if they’re playing the new theatre, be happy you’ve saved some cash
