Looks like I wont be able to get tickets for the show. I was up at 3am last night when they went on sale, I had trrouble connecting, apparently because so many other people were trying. Once I did connect, I had trouble understanding the website, even though I was using google translate for it. The main problem I had was with the fact that I was trying to buy tickets for the first 2 shows. Once I selected the first one, my efforts to add a second often led to disconnects. They didn't have an add to basket or continue shopping button and I couldn't understand their process. I also tried reading through their rules of purchase. One site said to have the ticket mailed, there had to be at least 15 days between the date of purchase and the concert date, which there wasn't, so I figured I'd buy them through Fnac and pick them up there, still not knowing if you had to pick them up within so many days of purchase.
So after about 45 minutes, all 4 sites were reporting that all tickets were sold. I couldn't believe it. I should have prepared for the worse case scenario. One thing that kind of misled me was I had been chatting with some AF members concerning past concerts about which shows are the best to go to, the first or the last? Where is the best place to sit, the seats or the pit. I was told that they don't usually sell as many tickets for the first show, because that's kind of like a dress rehearsel. That's why those tickets are cheaper. So I didn't think that one would sell out and certainly not so quickly.
Like they say hind sight is 20 20. I probably should have started a thread asking what is the best way to approach this. I will still go to Lyon. There is a very slim chance of buying a ticket on the day of the show, but there's probably a better chance of buying one from a scalper, but being from a foreign country, probably a better chance of being scammed.
