We can now notify you by email if a ticket becomes available. This has been one of the most asked-for features, and we hope it is well received.

You will be prompted to add an email alert if there are no tickets available for the event you are searching for.

There are some restrictions on this. We have limited the number of emails that we send out for any one event. We have set this limit to 20 initially and will review this at the end of the summer. Each registration for alerts will entitle you to 5 notifications - after that then you will need to re-register. If you click to buy a ticket then your alerts will stop for this event for all future tickets. You can also stop receiving alerts manually.

We would be very keen to receive feedback on this feature.

This is a good feature however as soon as you buy a ticket it stops sending you notifications. I bought a ticket & then the woman selling it took it back so I am again looking for a ticket & now i don't get emails anymore. I know there's a limit but i think there should be exceptions made for situations like this.
Thanks x

Why is the limit set at 20? Seems very low for popular events, such as Killers gigs?

We've played around a bit with this number, but 20 seems about right. If we set it any higher then people will complain that they don't stand a chance, because the ticket will have been taken by one of the other buyers.
