 Looking a lot better here than the previous one!

HMV are implementing a system for this year to cut down on ticket touting for Reading & Leeds where they will take the customer details and match them to the ticket number.

This means that when tickets go on sale at HMV from Tuesday 1st April [8am main store or 9am if HMV is in a shopping mall], you will need photo ID.

Please note HMV face value tickets are max. 2 per person.
