I am distraught! They sold my tickets!

[ali101]

I just found out this afternoon that the 2 great tickets I had ordered for tommorrow night at Wembley in Block A3 row 3 through an agency have been sold to someone else. I am absolutely gutted. The sale went through as sucessful and then unknown to me there was a problem with my card and they sold them. Goodness knows why they didn't contact me with the telephone number I had so nicely provided for them.
I think I will struggle now at this late stage to get replacements.

Something tells me that tommorrow night will be long and miserable.:distress::distress::shocked:

[luckydimecaper]

Oh no! That's awful! :( Can't they get you any other tickets?? They should have let you know before now so you could sort something out!

[ali101]

no they have sold out. They didnt even contact me - I rang to see where the tickets were and got a great shock. I've been looking now but I cant find any. Its so late now. Disappointment hardly describes it.

[Sahara]

Oh God. I can't tell you how upset I am for you :(

:nod: Some Ledgies have been incredibly lucky at the box office on the afternoon of the concert, including Wembley. It's absolutely worth a try :xoxo:

Gutted for you.
Come on, who's got a spare to help a Ledgie in distress?

Who did you order them through? Did yo get an email saying the order had gone through?

[MacMan]

I know nothing about gumtree - but you might want to check here, you might get lucky.

Hang in there... and be sure to stalk the box office in person after 12:00 tomorrow. The front row will pop up, I guarantee.

[ali101]

Thanks for that. its nice of you to offer your sympathies! It does help in a way. The Box Office is a good idea - I don't know whether to travel down to London on the off chance or not. The last show in London on the last tour was really great so I was looking forward to it. And also because I was holding out for Silver springs which didn't materialise at Manchester & Sheffield.

I hope with all my heart that it won't be the last tour to reach England. I don't think I would recover from the enforced denial. I paid over the odds for the tickets but I was desparate to go with a good seat - its not the same at the back is it - once you stand there nowhere else seems as enjoyable. I did think that the presale worked last tour and it meant that fans were able to obtain good seats. It is probably why there are so many comments about so called miserable concertgoers moaning for people to sit down!

Perhaps this is the third and last Mac/Nicks disaster for me - they do say that such things arrive in threes! No doubt you are wondering what other trauma has come my way.....well I managed to loose my whole mp3 concert/demo collection- the original hard drive and then my backup hard drive!!!

Yes I did try Gumtree and I will keep a lookout in case someonelse has some bad luck and cant make it. Thanks Though, Alison

Really? ...I've never been a Box office stalker before! Is there a hidden talent?:D

I wish DavidMn could comment- he actually pulled it off last week!

Also, there are some pretty expensive but excellent seats listed on craigslist. They may/may not still be available...

[GypsyBlueEyes]

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I would have been devestated. I've also heard a lot of stories about people getting really good seats the day of the show from the box office. Don't lose hope yet...its definitely not impossible :)

[Liza]

What terrible news, I really feel for you - have you also tried Vivastreet, Craiglist, Stereoboard and keep trying ticketmaster. Wish you luck.:wavey:

thanks so much for the headsup on vivastreet - I havent heard of that one so I will have a look straight away.

[GODDESS6]

i wish you all the best w/ getting more tix!!!~ that really sucks that the prior agency didn't give you a heads up~

[Stu]

there are touts outside wembley - I know it's not ideal or particularly pleasant, but it's a way of getting into the gig.

[jenniferuk]

I'm sorry that this happened to you--what a nightmare.

There are some tix for sale on gumtree--I've always had good luck with that site (we've used it to sell cricket tix and offloaded a lot of furniture when we moved from London).

[WelshWitchPMD]

I am sorry about the tickets. I would keep checking Ticketmaster. If you can't see if a friend can do it for you. If nothing comes up head to the box office and wait for something to come up. While you are there have a friend keep checking TM. Good luck!

[SandyMac]

This is terrible. I feel for you, I am so sorry to hear this. I pray everything works out and you snag some great tickets.

http://london.craigslist.co.uk/search/tix?query=fleetwood&catAbbreviation=tix&minAsk=min&maxAsk=maxI can tell you that I went up to the box office at exactly 4PM the day of the Oct 30 show and they had literally the front row center seat.:nod:

[Sahara]

Did everything work out for you? I've had my fingers crossed all weekend!

[grace_face]

Oh my god, I am stricken reading about this, you poor thing!!! I just can't believe that happened. It could happen to anybody! We ordered our tickets pre-sale and they never send them out till a month or so before (we received our's a week or so ago), so we could've just been sitting around, looking forward to the concert in several months time, and then...nothing. And we'd have no idea we didn't have tickets!!

I think the place that did this to you and mucked up your tickets should damn well find you replacement equivalent or better tickets!! It's THEIR fault! Ok, so your card didn't go through, but why didn't they CALL YOU!?!?! They should be liable I think, I really do.

I so hope you managed to get some sort of decent seat...*fingers tightly crossed*

[Sahara]

The suspense is killing me! Please say you got to go...?

[gfd1963]

Me too. Kept looking on Ticketmaster all day but didn't see anything show up. I hope you got there as I know how it feels not too - had 3rd row seats for Sheffield but due to illness couldn't go. I'm slowly coming to terms with it now but haven't been brave enough to watch any videos to see where I might have been standing yet.
