    So i guess it's official then? I can stop queueing now. Ticketweb says sold out but doesn't stop you queuing which is a bit confusing really. Makes you think you might have a chance even when there is no chance.

    My queue page has been refreshing itself for close to an hour now... Still nothing. I don't expect anything to happen either.

    Ticketweb is a joke, worse than ticketw$nker. got to final screen too and got a "system error" when i tried submitting order!! Its great to see all the real pearl jam fans got tickets and are selling them on ebay, not!!

    I cant honestly believe it.

    I actually got through to Shepherds Bush Empire this morning. They were taking all the details and then all of a sudden i got "Sorry its all sold out now, so your order will not go through". Disgraceful.

    Please, should anyone have any spares please let me know if you would be willing to share your PJ experience with me.

    Regards.
    COYS!

    Can you believe tickets just went for £420 for a pair and now this 'Ten Club' Fan in the US has upped his starting bid from his original £349 to £745.........What an Arsehole!!! Shouldn't be allowed when we tried so hard to buy tickets legitimately!! Agree Ticket Web sucks!

    yeah people seem to be buying these tickets off these ebay scalper scumbags. wish the uk had the same rules regarding tickets sales as ontario canada. You cant sell tickets on ebay for over the face value or auction gets voided. Easy way to stop does ebay scalpers!!!

    Hi,
    like many, I was not one of the lucky few to be chosen at the pre-sale and the HMV site was a joke.
    Please, if anyone has a spare standing ticket for Shep Bush to sell me, I would be very interested!
    I've just looked on ebay, viagogo and get me in and they all want ridiculous prices - there's one person on ebay who wants 400 pounds for 1 ticket!
    You can contact me on <!-- e --><a href="mailto:kazyau@hotmail.com">kazyau@hotmail.com</a><!-- e --> - you will make a PJ fan very happy!
    Many thanks.

    It's been an emotional few days. Blew out on the 10c lotto, blew out on the hmv pre sale. Got in the queue on ticket web at 8 this morning and got in queue. I had my mobile as well on redial, my mum and my wife all calling as well. I had had the tickets on the screen at 9, keyed in my details, click proceed and the site crashed arghhhhh. Then my mum got through on the phone. Gave all her details, it was all looking good then "sorry we've just sold out" arghhhhh. Had to do the eBay thing and pay £375 for a pair. Think about selling my o2 tickets to recoupe my losses. It's bullshit

    Atr least you werent CHARGED FOR THE TICKETS BUT NEVER GOT THEM!!

    I hit the buy button after filling out all my details and the site crashed!! now ive no tickets and fucking ticketweb are saying they have no record of the transaction!!

    scumbags!!

    not letting this go no way no how..

    Does anyone have much experience with touts?

    Obviously if I turn up at SBE before doors open, tout prices are going to be about what they are on eBay at the moment. However, once PJ hit the stage I imagine their prices will drop as they'll want to be rid of them.

    Can anyone tell me if this is the case? Anyone ever done it and got tix at a cheap/decent price??

    dont do that!!
    your not only supporting it but for the last small show in Londons Astoria, there were touts selling stolen and fake tickets for hundreds of pounds!! you'll get ripped don't do it!
  • kenevilkenevil Posts: 27
    Not keen on the idea but as a very very very last resort I might have to :(

    Definitely don't give in to the touts! The Astoria was a nightmare for so many people. If you handed over hundreds for a fake ticket then you would be well and truly fucked - broke and stranded outside

    Just a quick note folks please remember there is a new thread for spares - peeps have been posting on other threads and even starting new ones and it's all getting confusing. Use the new one, which Ames will refer to for the lottery! :-)

    That truly sucks :( There's no way they can deny the transaction though if you contact your bank and get the reference number for the payment. I've been charged for stuff I haven't received three times this year and have been screwed around by each company. Make the biggest fuss and use the words 'fraud' and 'seeking legal advice' - that scares the crap out of them. Good luck wrangling with the bastards!

    I've tried this morning with ticketweb and it was almost impossible...the bad thing was that the system does not delete from your shopping cart the tickets that were sold out so you waste you time to remove those from the cart to get some other...

    I'm a little bored about this show...I'm waiting the announce for november/december and cross my finger for Hawaii...

    Been onto consumer direct and made a detailed full complaint. They are the UKs trading standards body for the consumer side.
    Really really let down by tenclub here too. This should have been a fanclub show and private with no need for ticketmaster or any of their scalping subsidiaries, but dealt with in house by them.

    Really let down by them today. We all were.
