I THOUGHT IT WAS A GENERAL SALE?????????????????????????
How can HMV think this is ok to only send emails for those who bought preorders when it is a general sale?!!
Can this day get any more irritating?2006 ░▒▓ Astoria, Dublin, Leeds, Reading, Lisbon, Paris, Verona, Athens

i know you dont want to keep hearing it Wash.. but it was a general sale... i've never received an email, or a special link or anything.. and if i go to the HMV ticket page right now and right there on the front page for anyone to see is the Pearl Jam tickets spot... it's there for anyone to click and buy... not those who only received emails..
sorry :oops:oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.0 -

sorry :oops:
Yeah, but then why do people keep saying they got emails with special links for the sale?
I prefer that it was a general sale, but it seems that *some* people who preordered had more of a clue by having emails sent to them.

bollocks, i complained too and never got the reply in 48 hrs0 -
I really feel for everyone who's been fucked about by HMV. I didn't get tickets. The last few days have been disappointing to say the least.
However if someone told me before this tour was announced that I'd get to see PJ twice in two days this year I'd be over the moon so I'm going to try and put this whole shambles behind me and look forward to Manchester and the O2. Good luck trying to get tickets if you're going the tout route, I can't afford that sort of money!!0 -

I guess it's easy for me to say because I do have tickets, but one must put this in perspective. There were only really a handful of tix to be had for a lot of fans. Seems level 1 has been 'booked out' for VIP's, etc. Doesn't leave that many tix for the 'masses'. Yes... some are on Ebay and on reselling sites, I know.... but it was a long shot for any of us. Somehow I managed tickets through the presale (though I never got a confirmation screen as it timed out on me), when I got home I had an e-mail saying I had them. Also, I was lucky enough (if you can call it luck) to be able to get a disabled ticket, thus my HMV ones went to those without.
Small venue+promotional gig = not many tickets.
Doesn't excuse the HMV mess.Post edited by redrock on0 -

One of the pictures posted lists Level 1 as "VIP & Guest Area". Could well be quite a few freebies floating around for this if you mix in the right circles. Which I don't :(
There were a lot of 'industry' people (including other musicians and celebs) at the Astoria - this will be the same.
At least two of us have reports from confirmed sources that NO industry types have been allocated tickets for Shep Bush. If there ARE any going around they will have been few and far between despite previous shows...0 -

I wish...I do still mix in those circles occasionally and can't get any for love nor money nor love nor money nor love nor er anything at all really!0 -
Dear hmv customer,
We are writing to you in response to your recent enquiry in regards to the Pearl Jam CD pre-order / ticket offer.
We are sorry that you experienced issues with the hmv tickets site on Tuesday 21st July. As you can imagine, this offer was extremely popular and as a result the web site did at times struggle to cope with the volume of people trying to purchase tickets. We are also aware that at times the volume of traffic led to confusing messages being presented to customers attempting to purchase tickets, leading customers to conclude either that the link did not work or that tickets were sold out either prior to 9am or within just a few minutes of 9am.
We would like to reassure you no orders were processed before 9am BST on Tuesday 21st July 2009 and tickets continued to be purchased by pre-sale customers for around 30 minutes.
Once again, please accept our sincere apologies if you were unable to purchase tickets in the hmv pre-sale; as you may appreciate the return of such a high profile band such as Pearl Jam caused unprecedented demand.
Kind Regards,
The Online Service Team
www.hmv.com
Are they having a laugh? This in response to my fuming letter demanding an explanation from a REAL person not an automated email!0
