Any idea the timescale for Openreach and the National Grid to agree on the possibility of using a National Grid pole for a fibre install?

Had my installation today, ONT installed and exterior work done but the engineer said the current overhead path of the copper line is no longer within regulations so I need a different path. We have a National grid pole nearby which is the only feasible solution.

The engineer couldn't really give me an estimate and said it's a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare.

So two questions really, 1) Does anyone know how long this would take? and 2) If granted, do I get pushed to the back of the Openreach appointment queue which is roughly a 1 month wait in my area?

Edit: Just had an email from Vodafone telling me I'm compensated £6.46 a day from the planned activation date until my activation is complete. I guess that injects some urgency from their end to get a solution asap and also suggests I'm not pushed to the back of the appointment queue to finish the work.

Edit 2: Had an email from Open Reach saying they need to put a new pole in so I guess that dictates how long it'll be until I'm connected.

I've long been confused by how Ticketmaster presents ticket availability.

It's my understanding that if there are plenty of tickets available you see no availability flags on an event listing, you click through and pick from good availability. If there are only a few tickets left it has the yellow "low availability" flag and if it is sold out it has the red "limited availability" flag.

So why are there dates with no flags but no tickets available?? Is it sold out? Have the tickets gone on sale yet? Are these tickets being sold on another ticket platform?... I don't understand why there's never clarification for these dates, it drives me crazy.
