That's a wrap

That's all from us today, the hype of trying to get Blink-182 tickets has definitely slowed down now.

Resale tickets are still appearing at reasonable prices on Ticketmaster, so a great place to look if you haven't got tickets yet. But be quick as the cheapest ones don't stick around for very long before being snapped up!

A handful of platinum tickets are also still available on Ticketmaster. We've covered the new dates for Manchester today, but there are other new shows in Glasgow, Birmingham and London too so the new line up is below.

We hope you all got this tickets you wanted!

£88 resale tickets

The resale tickets have now landed and here's where you can get them on Ticketmaster.

To buy resale tickets for both Manchester shows, click onto the 'Buy Tickets' link as normal, and they will pop up in and amongst other available tickets. The key thing is to look out for the pink/purple resale shuffle sign.

There's currently some great prices, if you missed out on tickets earlier, section BL seated tickets in row D are currently available for £88.92 each. The screenshot below shows you what to look out, and we doubt there will be any resale for as low as these prices, so be quick.

The Story So Far Tour

Bringing their best pop-punk hits in more than a decade the tour also includes their latest single 'Edging'.

Produced by Travis Barker, it's the bands first song with Tom DeLonge in more than 10 years. As well as the five UK dates the band are embarking on a US Tour, including a headline show in Madison Square Garden.

Official platinum tickets

Although majority of ticket types have sold out, there are still plenty of Official Platinum tickets left.

Priced at £244.95 each they are a lot pricier than standard tickets but still cheaper than some £354 resale floor tickets. But by paying an extra £100 (and more) what do fans get with these tickets?

Although the tickets may sound like you get 'drinks on arrival' or a goody bag of merch there's not actually any added perks. Platinum tickets are the supposedly the 'best' seats in the stadium, based off a moxture of features from view, access and leg room.

The reason they are more expensive is based off demand, the more people looking for tickets or the more tickets that sell out then the pricier these tickets will be.

Happy fans with tickets

We're getting all the updates from happy fans who've managed to secure tickets today.

It's been quite stressful for fans today, as 10,000 people joined the online queue at 10am, SeeTickets site went down and despite another Manchester date being added some fans still struggled to buy tickets.

We're so happy to see some happy fans!

Resell prices

As tickets are increasingly hard to get hold of there are plenty of resell tickets now available for Blink-182 in Manchester.

But buying from the right platform can be the difference between being ripped off or not.

Ticketmaster have an official fan-to-fan reselling platform which is likely to start selling Blink-182 tickets by the end of today. Fans should keep an eye out for the purple resell' symbol. This is one of the best ways to buy tickets without being ripped off.

The site Viagogo has resell tickets but there is no restriction on how much fans can ask for, which is why some standing tickets are costing as much as £354 each, even though they were originally bought for around £90.

Some of the asking prices on Viagogo can be seen below, and we'd urge fans not to be pulled in as the prices are more than double. Fans may also have trouble verifying name and address details at the door of the venue, as Viagogo does not have this as a requirement to resell.

Low availability

Just an hour after tickets went on sale, and there are very few tickets left.

Even with the extra date added in Manchester, on Monday October 16, fans are struggling to get tickets. Both Manchester dates now have the dreaded yellow 'low availability' warning on Ticketmaster.

There have been huge numbers of people today, the queue reached 10,000 people straight after 10am, but some fans think its down to resellers trying to make a profit. And to be honest, I completely agree.

We see it time and time again with concerts and it seems majority of 'fans' in the queue or buying for multiple dates with the aim of reselling.

Fans are tweeting their dissapointment at not getting tickets.

KEY EVENT

New date added

Less than an hour after the sale started and a new Manchester date has been added.

The band will play another show on Monday, October 16. Fans have to be quick as tickets are selling very quickly.

There was no official announcement from the band or Ticketmaster, but another date has been added to buy from on the site. We can confirm the tickets are being sold for the same prices on the Monday, but they definitely kept it quiet.

Issue with SeeTickets

Even thought the site advertised ticket sales this morning, we are seeing BIG issues.

For anyone trying to get tickets Ticketmaster is your best option, as of now. SeeTickets site isn't coming up with any available tickets to buy, or an option to join a queue.

The site says: "Tickets currently unavailable please try venue site". We'll keep you updated and hoepfully it will be resolved soon, but for now stick to Ticketmaster.

KEY EVENT

Confirmed prices

The prices are in, here is what you can expect to pay if you're getting Blink-182 tickets today.

Considering other recent artist concerts, these are pretty reasonable. Ticketmaster also have a filter button to only show the prices and tickets available for accessible seats.
