It would be amazing if someone could sort me out a spare.
Thanks

I feel a bit cheeky posting here as I'm not a regular poster (had my sign in for ages but rarely get the chance to come on). We (well hubs) are ex 10C but were 10C for a few years. We were/are having financial issues and so i didn't get him his membership for xmas like i normally would last year! had i have known he/we had to be a member before the 16th jul for this i'd have updated it before then but i saw that too late! (seems to be the story of my life over this!)
So no 10C lottery tickets (again like i normally would). Also I had real trouble finding anything out about the hmv one, and only found out the 'order before 12 on monday' to enter, at 3pm monday! very frustrating!! And now even the o2 priority is failing me, a) it's not working and i can't find out if i'm even eligible and b) i had to lower my tariff to the lowest possible coz of the money issues and don't think i qualify anymore!
SO, I know this sounds like a sob story and I know I'll be way down on the list to you guys, but can i please be put on the list anyway. I will be on the phone/internet at 9am tomorrow but I'm so scared of not getting us tickets!! i tried and tried (spent hours on that stupid phone trying to get through) for the other small gig they did a few years ago and I failed at that! I really don't want to fail again!
IMPORTANT: FOR THISE WITH ANY KIND OF A TICKET TO THIS SHOW - HELP A BROTHER OUT
By my reckoning, HMV sold about 1000 tickets the other day. 10C probably had 500 (bearing in mind that makes 250 winners with pairs of tickets and not everyone will post here to say they have tickets).
There are probably anywhere between 500 and 1500 tickets left in the general sale.
By the look of the amount of people asking around in the pit, 10C members could snap up all of those... given the chance. We all know that scalpers with eBay in mind will be on that auction in the morning. The only way we can get more 10C members into SBE paying FACE VALUE for the tickets - instead of being ripped off by these lowlives - is by getting as many of those general sale tickets as possible into 10C members' hands.
I won tickets yesterday evening but I'll be getting online tomorrow for this pre-sale to try and get some tix. If i get them, one will go to a guy in 10C I have promised a spare to and the other will be put in the lottery.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... even if you have tickets, let's help out those members here who didn't share our luck yesterday and try to get more in the sale tomorrow morning, so that the real fans of the band can get in.
HMV, ticketmaster, shepherd's bush box office and o2 website should also have sales.
If you are worried about paying and them being repaid, please don't. You know that this community is made of exceptional people. If you are thinking, I've got mine so why bother? Imagine how good you'd feel if someone got you in that door. I'll post this on another thread but please can everyone who has tickets try for those who don't. What goes around comes around.
First post has been amended. Only just woke up....I hate working till 4am lol.
So I was, unfortunately, one of the many who has been disappointed by HMV and also didn't get lucky in the lottery. Well done to those that did, but please remember that if this system is going to go ahead, we need more spares.
At the moment, we have 3 potential spares, and 60+ of those in need.
I'm going to put this to you guys, but do you think we should put a cap on the number of those in need? Say as of 6pm tonight we do not accept any more offers to be added to the list? Otherwise after the general sale on Thursday this thread will be inundated with hundreds of people without tickets. It will not be the end of the world for those not involved, as there are obviously other means of obtaining tickets.
Let me know what you guys think, and please those of you with spare tickets send them this way. Congratulations so much to those who have already. You are officially a better human being than this bloodsucking bastard.......

once again another great example of how cool the fans of this band are.
Especially connect to the bit about 'imagine not having a ticket' because once secured it would be easy to forget that

I was just about to ask about this. I thought the floor was just 10c??? This guy is claiming he got his in HMV
nope HMV will be selliong floor too.....basically the venue is almost all floor, and tenclub will have gotten a very small percentage of it, the usual rule is 10%
Give me some votes people, who is for/against putting a cap on the wanted list before the general sale?
Obviously many on the list will be removed once they get tickets in the general sale, but we will have a fairly large number of fans on this list as of tonight, and at the moment at least, not many spares.

I'd say set a dead line, a reasonable on like 6pm on Friday, for all entries. Some people don't get all the internet access they'd like and it needs to be at least a day after the sale so everyone can work out exactly what they have. People like me are still waiting on others to tell us if they want our second ticket, too. Not everyone knows if they have a spare straight away.
I'd make it clear that you need to have been in either the orignal HMV or 10C pre-sale and send the confirmation e-mail of that to the seller. The people who have been suffering these last days should be given priority.
Also, it should be clear that it's against 10C policy to make money out of this, just so that there are no arguments later, it could turn into an ugly situation if people don't realise we are helping each other out not trying to make a buck, so I'd just underline that. FACE VALUE or GIFT only.

I fully agree. Were not here to make money, this is about keeping tickets out of the hands of touts and in the hands of deserving fans.
And yeah, I think those who have suffered through not getting tickets the last few days also deserve priority.
After Thursday morning, we again need people to post in this thread if they-
-want to be removed from the wanted list
-want to kindly sell a ticket to a randomly allocated fan on the list
-and then if we put the number system into effect we can see those who are truly deserving (ie. missed out on HMV, 10C general sale)
I was considering grouping together those in category 7 to have priority of allocation, while this defeats the idea of a random drawing, it does get tickets to the fans that can prove they have attempted, and sadly failed to get tickets through at least 3 methods.
Obviously I want to make this as fair as possible so if anyone has any suggestions or disagreements please let me know.

Do we know yet how many confirmed spares we have?

We need as many tickets involved in this system as possible.

I think this is sensible.
I was just about to ask about this. I thought the floor was just 10c??? This guy is claiming he got his in HMV
Can we post a link to the general sale? I'm not sure where to go exactly, is it ticketweb?

Midway down, HMV is also an option, but we are all aware how shit their ticketing system is.
Ticketweb is owned by Ticketmaster so there will be some on there too probably.
I'm betting seetickets will get a few also.
ticketweb have them
hmv have them
Shep Bush box have them
and o2 have them.....
hard to juggle all 4 at once but i;'ll sure give it a go
I see, my bad. thanks dude
