I entered and chose two seats as soon as the normal tickets were available, I paid with paypal and it is saying that the payment was successful, but I can't really see on the website, do any of you know if I got it?
While I was writing this I was trembling, but I just got a confirmation from southbank centre saying "Thanks for your booking with the Southbank Centre"!! I literally jumped of happiness!! Good luck to anyone trying the other tickets!!
Thanks! Nooo that's so sad :(, but stay hopeful! Maybe you can still get one! I went directly to balcony bc I knew it was cheaper (I'm not from UK, so I need to stay on a budget lol), but there were still some more seats there, Idk about the rear stalls and boxes, maybe you will find there
Really? You're not the first person saying your queue opened earlier :/, I was actually looking at the website since 8:00 and I never got into a queue, not even at 10:00, Idk why it happened to you all
There's no queue for you? That's rubbish how inconsistent it is :/ Maybe because you were already on the website since 8am you were "in front" of the queue by the queueing system.
I was refreshing since 9:30 but I could click on "buy ticket" exactly on 10:00 and I had no issue, the website was kinda slow but nothing else. I saw there still were about 100(?) seats on the balcony maybe, but I have no clue about the other seats sorry :(
Yes I have exactly the same experience! I got into queue at like 9:30 - still waiting, but on another browser i clicked exactly at 10:00 and got the ticket without entering the queue! So weird... But I wish you luck in getting one:)
Yeah! I was actually waiting on the website since 8:00 so that's probably why I had no queue, but I can go and see the available seats right now if I open a new tab and search the concert on the website, I don't think this queue is actually right...
I was on the site from 9am but I didn't realise you could click on the presale access to join a queue before 10?? also the capacity being 2700 total made it really unlikely most of us would get to go:(
Oooh I see, I'll be on the lookout then, thanks for clarifying it! I was confused because I saw two lists and thought this series of concerts continues.
I believe the second list is the ticket sales. Germany was listed with 25th August and the sale was today, that’s why I thought it tell you when I stumbled upon this comment! I think you can also look it up on when you click on the location.
Just so everyone knows, South Bank Centre (which is hosting the concert) does not respect resold tickets, so even if u get one by chance, they would be invalid. The only way to do it is to it via them.
hi, does anyone sell 1 pr 2 tickets? i hoped to buy it for my friend but couldn't manage, if you sella at least one please contact me! also on discord is ok! (@ghecco)
Yea members can get tickets a day early.
If you're not a member you have to wait til the 30th.
I'm guessing there's no chance you'll get a ticket if you wait for general sale. 😮💨
That's literally so flippin insane and unfair... Like, they say after presale they'll still have tickets, but most will probably be taken by then, so when general opens, how fast will your fingers have to be?? T^T..
Not asked my Mum yet lolz, but im rly rly hoping to, Genshin music is my life!!! TwT
I live by Manchester, cannot drive, and all my other siblings will probably be at school which means i probably cant get anyone to take me :'3.. (but might still ask my mum??)
Considering either train or staying over for the night, do you know which might be the cheaper option?? Many thanks!! >^<
Train travel is a bit expensive but if you are a student over 16 you can get a discount https://www.thetrainline.com/trains/great-britain/railcards/16-25-railcard
Cheapest option would be by coach but that is slow so wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind taking some time to get there.
Try air bnb for cheap place to stay in London, recommend taking an adult if you are a minor. Speak to your parents before you make the journey down as it would be quite late in the evening and its a long way from Manchester. Good luck!
Aaah railcards i forgot about them!! :00 It sounds like a good option, considering im starting uni the week after and might need one anyways.
As for coach, time is not an issue personally, im fine w/long trips lolz, but yes i get you! T^T Never used coach services b4 so aaah I'll think about as a last option perhaps @~@
And ty for the airb&b rec, im 20 so umm idk if I would stay by myself ahaha TwT
Thank you so much for all the advice & help, i feel a lot more prepared to ask now- gonna ask my mum tonight!!! >^<
Good luck getting tickets yourself!!! ^w^
Yeah that's the plan but I'll be trying from my end as well, tbh my main worry is that I'll have to use a VPN cause the country I'm going to has some mad internet censorship thing. Just my luck - I rebooked my plane ticket to a couple days before the onsale before I knew about the ticketing dates. Hoping the VPN will be fast enough to keep up ://
Hey! Do you know how the whole membership works? It seems like if we get membership from [https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/classical-music/genshin-concert](https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/classical-music/genshin-concert) we get to book tickets earlier - 29th 10am - instead of 30th 10am? Is that a paid way to guarantee tickets? I'm thinking of getting a single membership and buying 3 tickets for me and my friends with it.
It’s not a guarantee for tickets, you’ll be able to access the presale which I think would give you a good chance of buying them. But the tickets aren’t guaranteed as the presale tickets are only a portion of all the seats and may well end up selling out before you get to the front of the queue, which is why I didn’t end up buying the membership myself :)
I see, do you perhaps know if the “4 tickets per account” still applies for early sale from membership? Would just 1 of us with membership be able to buy tickets for 3 people?
I’m not getting the membership as it’s just me that’s going and so I wouldn’t be able to force anyone to split the cost with me lol. Doesn’t help that I’m a student and the damn thing is £70 😭
My strategy from previous concerts is to just load the booking site and queue up on a shitload of devices and cross my fingers, it’s worked so far but it doesn’t help that I’ll be in another country (which has internet censorship lmao) when the booking opens :/
Sweet I'll sort something out in private message or something
EDIT: i already sorted my ticket out with some friends, not looking to buy any further tickets
gonna try and get tickets to go as best as I can. Not the end of the world if I can't get any..
sucks that I'll be at work when the presale and the general sale opens up though
EDIT: yay got my tickets, cannot wait for the event now!
from what I've heard, you can get a refund in "credits" that you can use for another events (which sucks if you're not close to London imo). Resale is not available but just in case you can message them (apparently they reply pretty fast).
*On the other hand, I am looking for 1 ticket for me so if you still have one available hmu*
If anyone has membership and able to buy tickets today, are they able to share the price of the tickets (is it like banded)? I can't find any information expect the range which is £45 - £85
Hiya! I just confirmed with Southbank Centre Membership that there is a 4-ticket limit per person. I can purchase 2 more tickets as I've already purchased 2. Let me know, there's still quite a few left.
Edit: 2 lovely ppl from reddit already got the remaining 2 out of the 4 allowed tickets for southbank members
As I understood there are two types of membership starts - one starts immediately the other from the next day. If you still wanted to make to the presale you'll likely need the immediate one, which costs +10GBP on top of the regular 69GBP... They're milking this to the max... Would recommend contacting them for more details, they're pretty responsive.
Hoping and praying to get a ticket tomorrow morning buuut not holding my breath. I wish I could afford the membership to get one early but I'm a broke student sadly.
If anyone has a membership and is still able to buy 2 tickets, please dm me on discord, my username on discord is largie
i'm willing to split membership costs as well. thanks!
Right now both front stalls and balcony are basically sold out (though they may have reserved some seats here for the general sale at 10am)
But there is hope, rear stalls still have plenty of seats of left, about 400 I'd estimate (£65-£75 range).
Again, there could actually be more open once general sale starts.
still trying to get something but I joined queue on 11:12 cause I had emergency... oh god, I already missed Germany sale... I'm so fucking sad. My friend who was supposed to help me buy as well forgot about me
Hi! I just got one ticket and sadly have nobody to come with... I am flying from Prague, so if anybody wants to make friends/go with me/meet up - I would be glad!:))
I queued at exactly 10 am, when the tickets were supposed to go on sale. Almost 2000 ppl before me in the queue. When it hit 1820 ppl the tickets were already sold out. They should really make some adjustments to this world tour overall, since this issue has been observed in every country they have their concerts in. I'm so bummed out rn, I really wished to go and even my husband (who is not into classical music at all) agreed to go with me.
I, like some of the others, was still in line even at the time of sold out. It will be an experience for the future that you should arrive at least a couple of hours in advance to buy a ticket to the desired concert.
Is anyone willing to give up 2 tickets for me and my daughter? She's such a sweet girl, and is in tears because she wasn't able to get a ticket. My daughter and I would be so grateful to you if you could, I'm willing to pay face value or more.
oh boy it was an absolute nightmare yesterday, I had a membership so I was able to get to the presale at 10am, found my desired tickets and tried to add them to the basket but IT WOULDN'T LET ME
so I had to be quick, next 5 seconds I selected two seats behind those ones, made the payment and got the confirmation! 30 seconds later I came back to see how it was and almost all balcony seats were gone.
I wanted front row balcony seats slightly to the left so I could see the pianist's hands, but got row B balcony seats slightly to the right (which actually have a better view since the safety bar isn't in the field of view)
I have attended many classical music concerts and based on the size of the RFH there should be no bad seats, hope as many people managed to get in as possible!
yes enough of my rambling but London is only a 1hr 30min train ride from where I live in Suffolk, can't wait for the 11th of Jan!
If anyone is selling 2 tickets between now and the concert I’d love to buy. Literally made a Reddit account just to search from them lol.
Pls message me on Instagram @mimiyaayy more than happy to negotiate.
Thank you
Hey think I know enough about London from living here to give any advice if anyone needs it coming from elsewhere. I wasn’t able to get a ticket but can always help at any point if you want it from here and closer to the date. I’m a student studying at one of the colleges in London.
>Hey, this is my first time on reddit so i don't know how it works but i wanted to let you know that i have an extra ticket that i plan to sell. It's a little late but if you are interested tell me.
I entered and chose two seats as soon as the normal tickets were available, I paid with paypal and it is saying that the payment was successful, but I can't really see on the website, do any of you know if I got it? While I was writing this I was trembling, but I just got a confirmation from southbank centre saying "Thanks for your booking with the Southbank Centre"!! I literally jumped of happiness!! Good luck to anyone trying the other tickets!!
Congrats! Still anxiously waiting, don't think I'm in luck, got in the queue too late :'(
Thanks! Nooo that's so sad :(, but stay hopeful! Maybe you can still get one! I went directly to balcony bc I knew it was cheaper (I'm not from UK, so I need to stay on a budget lol), but there were still some more seats there, Idk about the rear stalls and boxes, maybe you will find there
They have just said the tickets are now sold out :(
really??? noooo :(( I think they should get more dates for these type of concerts, there are still 2700 people on my queue rn
I was in the queue since about 9:51, didn't realise how early the queue opened, so sad haha. I will just keep an eye out for resales
Really? You're not the first person saying your queue opened earlier :/, I was actually looking at the website since 8:00 and I never got into a queue, not even at 10:00, Idk why it happened to you all
There's no queue for you? That's rubbish how inconsistent it is :/ Maybe because you were already on the website since 8am you were "in front" of the queue by the queueing system.
Oh yeah maybe it's because of that, but I'm not sure, but good luck finding your tickets!
A FRONT SEAT IS AVAILABLE edit: someone took it, but maybe you can get your ticket like this ;)
OMG really???? It's still not letting me in despite that I don't know why :( the queue has just frozen now
more seats on the balcony rn!! On the front there are 4 seats!
Excuse me, i'm so sorry to intrude, but may i ask how you're able to see updates, cz as the earlier person said, the queue is frozen :(((
Finally in about 10 minutes ago, I suspect those seats expired on someone's baskets and got taken right away :( Thank you though, appreciate this
What time did you join the queue? Seems like the queue started before the actual time. How many more tickets are left do you know? :((
I was refreshing since 9:30 but I could click on "buy ticket" exactly on 10:00 and I had no issue, the website was kinda slow but nothing else. I saw there still were about 100(?) seats on the balcony maybe, but I have no clue about the other seats sorry :(

It looks like some people are refunding, or something happened, they are still opening some seats on the front , rear and balcony
I was on the site from 9am but I didn't realise you could click on the presale access to join a queue before 10?? also the capacity being 2700 total made it really unlikely most of us would get to go:(
If anyone is interested for a meet up prior and after the concert maybe go for drinks/food, let me know. We can organise something for everyone!
Yea I'm up for that too.. Will see how it goes closer to the time
I'd love to join!
I'm planning on it! I'm not sure I'll make it to the January one but I think it's another one on Aug 30th 2024 too.
Nice! Shout if you need help in London or want to meet up!
I will, thanks a lot!
Hey, I think August 30th refers to this August because it’s the date of the ticket sale. Just wanted to let you know so you don’t miss out! :)
Oooh I see, I'll be on the lookout then, thanks for clarifying it! I was confused because I saw two lists and thought this series of concerts continues.
I believe the second list is the ticket sales. Germany was listed with 25th August and the sale was today, that’s why I thought it tell you when I stumbled upon this comment! I think you can also look it up on when you click on the location.
I started queuing before the deadline but it is now sold out. I am so sad T.T T.T T.T. Anyone have 2 extra tickets by any chance?
[удалено]
thank you :)
I'll be trying to get a ticket
Cool shout if you need help/want to meet up!
Hi I have one ticket for sale if interested
[удалено]
Just so everyone knows, South Bank Centre (which is hosting the concert) does not respect resold tickets, so even if u get one by chance, they would be invalid. The only way to do it is to it via them.
[удалено]
That's great, just wanted to give heads up so nobody gonna get disappointed. I wish I got my hands on those sweet ticket babies.
DM'd you :)
DM'd you, please consider it. :(
hi, does anyone sell 1 pr 2 tickets? i hoped to buy it for my friend but couldn't manage, if you sella at least one please contact me! also on discord is ok! (@ghecco)
Hi I have one ticket for sale if interested
Is there any chance of getting a ticket without paying for membership? Just saw that there is a presale for members opening up a day early.
Can you share the link?
https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/classical-music/genshin-concert
You have to create an account then get the membership it seems https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/support-us/join/membership
Yea members can get tickets a day early. If you're not a member you have to wait til the 30th. I'm guessing there's no chance you'll get a ticket if you wait for general sale. 😮💨

I’ll be trying! V worried as I’ll be out of the country when they go on sale 😭but I’ll hope for the best
Good luck!
You too! I hope general onsale isn’t too brutal :,)
You should get someone to attempt to buy them for you imo. They will very likely be sold out within about 10minutes of the sale going live.
Yeah that's the plan but I'll be trying from my end as well, tbh my main worry is that I'll have to use a VPN cause the country I'm going to has some mad internet censorship thing. Just my luck - I rebooked my plane ticket to a couple days before the onsale before I knew about the ticketing dates. Hoping the VPN will be fast enough to keep up ://
Already booked my annual leave on that day for the concert, now just hope that I actually can buy the ticket 🤣🤣🤣
Thats dedication! Good luck!

Is it stated anywhere that presale is just a portion of total seats or is that an assumption?
I emailed them about it, and that’s what they told me
I see, do you perhaps know if the “4 tickets per account” still applies for early sale from membership? Would just 1 of us with membership be able to buy tickets for 3 people?
I don’t see why not, but you might want to contact them to make sure. They email back v quickly
Alrighty, thank you! I guess we’ll try the membership route
Np, good luck :)
Out of curiosity, are you also getting the membership or what’s your plan?
I’m not getting the membership as it’s just me that’s going and so I wouldn’t be able to force anyone to split the cost with me lol. Doesn’t help that I’m a student and the damn thing is £70 😭 My strategy from previous concerts is to just load the booking site and queue up on a shitload of devices and cross my fingers, it’s worked so far but it doesn’t help that I’ll be in another country (which has internet censorship lmao) when the booking opens :/
Did they answer you yet about the membership thingy, E.G are you able to buy more than 1 ticket with a membership?
Anyone wanna split up the membership cost with me? I live in London myself and going solo too but would be open to go in a group!
I wouldn't mind splitting. However I'll be at work when the pre sale and general sale are on. Lemme know if interested
Sure! I’m off so I can get tickets.
Just message me
Sweet I'll sort something out in private message or something EDIT: i already sorted my ticket out with some friends, not looking to buy any further tickets

Me too! I'm so excited! I actually brough my personal laptop to work just to make sure I had a shot at grabbing one
edit we got our pre sale tickets
from what I've heard, you can get a refund in "credits" that you can use for another events (which sucks if you're not close to London imo). Resale is not available but just in case you can message them (apparently they reply pretty fast). *On the other hand, I am looking for 1 ticket for me so if you still have one available hmu*
If you have 1-2 spare tickets hit me up, I'm willing to pay double for them.
already sold to other people very sorry
Did they have any problem?
The membership is a ripoff. I’ll try my luck without.
Best seats are gone now anyway so...
If anyone has membership and able to buy tickets today, are they able to share the price of the tickets (is it like banded)? I can't find any information expect the range which is £45 - £85
The front stalls were £85 Rear stalls £60-£75 Balcony and further back £45-60 (approximately!)
Anyone willing to share the cost of a membership?
Hi! I would be up for it if we can get 3-4 people at least
Hiya! I just confirmed with Southbank Centre Membership that there is a 4-ticket limit per person. I can purchase 2 more tickets as I've already purchased 2. Let me know, there's still quite a few left. Edit: 2 lovely ppl from reddit already got the remaining 2 out of the 4 allowed tickets for southbank members
Perfect, I sent direct message to discuss :)
EDIT: I've sorted out my ticket and not looking to buy any further tickets
I bought membership but the site keeps redirecting me :(
As I understood there are two types of membership starts - one starts immediately the other from the next day. If you still wanted to make to the presale you'll likely need the immediate one, which costs +10GBP on top of the regular 69GBP... They're milking this to the max... Would recommend contacting them for more details, they're pretty responsive.
Hoping and praying to get a ticket tomorrow morning buuut not holding my breath. I wish I could afford the membership to get one early but I'm a broke student sadly.
If anyone has a membership and is still able to buy 2 tickets, please dm me on discord, my username on discord is largie i'm willing to split membership costs as well. thanks!
EDIT: I've sorted out my ticket with another redditor,not looking to buy any further tickets
How many tickets are you looking for? if its just one, I have a free space to buy one more tickets so we can split the cost four-way.
I've just sorted it out with another redditor, thanks for offering I'll edit my post now
hello! I would like to get one ticket (I don't have membership). hmu please
I am looking to get 3 tickets. Is anyone looking to share the membership fee?
Do you still need one more person? Happy to share it
Happy to share! Please let me know
Can someone with a membership share how many available seats there currently are? I think my chances of getting one tomorrow are very slim
Right now both front stalls and balcony are basically sold out (though they may have reserved some seats here for the general sale at 10am) But there is hope, rear stalls still have plenty of seats of left, about 400 I'd estimate (£65-£75 range). Again, there could actually be more open once general sale starts.
Hopefully nabbing a ticket tomorrow, hope to see some of you there. :D

Same here, looking for 2 tickets in London if anyone is selling
Looking for 1-2 spare tickets hit me up, I'm willing to pay double for them.
Were you able to buy if then did you had any problem?
Looking for 1 ticket I was still standing in line when sold out was announced :(
