    If O2 give out a password to people, whats to stop others using the same one? Or maybe a password is assigned to only 2 tickets? Or would you be sent a one-use link like HMV are doing? All very wishy-washy, I hope O2/HMV know what they're letting themselves in for! I might even go so far as to get an O2 sim card from the UK (if they're cheap/free), and doing that!

    I can't find anything about the PJ pre-sale on the O2 site. I'm still not convinced they are doing one.

    I remember a bunch of people got turned away from the Astoria show because touts had been selling tickets stolen from the venue.

    Yeah, it was quite a scene that day. They were checking all our tickets against a list of supposedly stolen tickets.

    I just can't imagine how gutted you'd be if you had bought a ticket for £600 (which is what some were going for) only to be turned away at the doors because the ticket had been stolen.
    But I guess that's the risk you take when you buy from touts.

    I'd love to go to this show, but unfortunately there's no way in hell I can afford it. Times like these you hate being a student ..

    Nevermind, see you lucky bastards in Manchester :D

    Yep I remember this

    It amazed me how organised the touts are though, I mean within minutes of the venue producing that list with the stolen ticket numbers on, the touts had a list of their own so they knew exactly what to sell and how much for. Hate touts.

    I've never scalped a ticket. Had one for the Astoria last time and made sure it went to a real fan. Like to think all that good karma gets repaid. i managed to get a ticket for the Zep o2 concert the night before the gig when i'd just about given up and for face value as well. The guy wouldn't even let me buy him a t-shirt. I like to think that's payback for not ripping people off.

    Hmmmm, just found out my ex boyfriend is the only o2 customer I know...do I getinto contact with the bloke who gave me an STD before we split up? Are they worth it? :lol: Think I'll put out a few more feelers before I take any drastic action!

    I have been considering getting a PAYG O2 card just for the damn presales.. maybe I should take the plunge (then just put £5 on it and that should last me a few years ;))

    Me + Touts outside this show = Blood :evil:
    I've come close to get into fights with the fuckers before but this show will be it!

    Brisk has a funny story to tell about how I view reselling for above face ;), from that very venue actually :lol: (Smashing Pumpkins show in 07.. they were going for stupid money)

    The Astoria, Paaks's (not yet at the time) wife had bought an online ticket for €300+, the guy wasn't showing up (she'd come all the way from Berlin especially), my friend sold her a ticket for face (she got a 10c one from another friend) and you should have seen how :mrgreen: she was!!

    but the fucking touts are making it a pain for everyone that even try to sell at face outside :x
    line them up and shoot them I say!
