  • Am watching the National Lottery right now - just to confirm Ames - we are taking from Lotto aren't we? Not Thunderball or any others?!! :-)
  • From the Lotto was the idea I believe :)

    Hello all,

    I also missed the lottery allocation for the Sheperds Bush show - which was a great idea by way!

    But Im guessing there's still a few of us left without tickets for the UK shows, including the Sheperd's Bush one...

    I was lucky enough to get TenC tkts for Manchester and the O2 but not for Sheperds Bush - So, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to trade a spare ticket for the Sheperds Bush show for one at Manchester or the O2 with me...This way, the spare ten club tickets end up being used by real ten club members, eager to see the band! Anyone out there who can help?

    Since we all end up buying pairs of tickets through TenC, maybe there are more out there like me, (with a spare for each night) and would rather see the spare going to a real PJ fan.

    (*I'm hoping this idea is in keeping with the posting guidelines on this forum...?)

    Hi there :)

    Sorry that you missed out on this lottery but I've just checked back and you didn't ask to be added to it until 27th July, which was after the agreed cut off point. Really sorry about this but we tried really hard to make noises and posts on all the other threads on regular occasions so that as many people as possible could be included. This was discussed and agreed with loads of users on here and the majority agreed that this was fair. So that's probably why nobody answered your request, per se.

    Ames worked really, really hard on here to monitor all these posts and my deleted box is filled with literally hundreds of mails showing new posts to all the five or six topics that we have covered this on. With all the messages going back and forth it was invariable that a few peeps would miss posts etc but the info on the first page of this thread was continually updated to show the agreed cut off point etc. It is a genuine shame that a few people, your good self included, didn't see the thread in time or added names too late but there had to be a cut off point at some point and the majority did vote. Sorry :(

    Hopefully more people will come forward with spares between now and the SBE date and a few more folks can get tickets! I'm crossing all my fingers and toes!

    Thanks for your reply Goddess, shouldn't be this hard to go and see a band who you have followed for so long should it?
    I know i'm not the only one, so i will stop moaning now and congratulate all those who did manage to get tickets.
    It was a great idea to run the lottery, good thinking you guys i will just have to be more on the ball next time.
    And I guess i will just have to camp outside the doors and listen to the gig from there.

    see you there lol

    Gutted. One number out. That's so disappointing, absolutely gutted this morning. But predicted!
    Well done guys for getting lucky, I bet you enjoy that gig more than anyone else.
    Amens, you have been a star. Thank you so much for trying so hard for this. And to the three heroes who donated their tickets too. We have had some fun along the way!

    Now I am just going to bury my head in sand for the next few weeks....... :cry:
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
  • i think you should keep it going...for the rest on the list...more tickets might turn up!!!
  • JimNasticsJimNastics Posts: 679
    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!! Holy crap I couldn't believe it last night, when 19 came out first I thought 20 would never follow that (yeah yeah I know it had just as much chance as any other ball :D ). I jumpped out of bed screaming, scaring the hell out of the missus :lol: I may have then moonwalked across the bedroom floor, but I can't quite remember. I had to take a Nytol to get to sleep...

    Obviously a massive thanks to Ames for organising this, I'm really chuffed that you've got a ticket for all your efforts, that's fantastic. Huge thanks to IR257328 for offering up a 2nd spare at the last minute, without that I probably would have jumped under a bus by now having been the 2nd number out! Huge thanks to ilockyer for offering his ticket and also suggesting the lottery idea, which proved lucky for me and jeaubong.

    So sorry for everyone who missed out on this :( I really hope as many of you as possible get to the show. I think the ridiculous prices on ebay / getmein etc will start to come down over the next week or so, maybe to a more reasonable level.

    I haven't been checking this thread in the past couple of days but I take I didn't get the ticket :lol:

    Oh well, I'm happy for those who get to go! It turns out I might not even be able to make it to London now anyway so I guess it works out for the best!

    :)

    congrats guys
  • I think if I fell into a bucket of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb!!!!!!

    well done to the lucky winners and much respect to Ames for going through the hassle of organising the whole thing.

    Its a damn shame when paid up members of a fan club have to resort to this in order to see their favourite band.
