    Ok, all entered! :)

    So just in case I have to beg and plead with someone to sell me their treasured spare, how does the deal go down? Is it a meet at the venue and pay the kind person type job? I'm assuming you have to be with them to pick up the ticket so there'll have to be some face-to-face contact right?

    you are absolutely right.

    For once I wish I was I had an O2 phone, just for that extra chance. Missed out on Astoria and nearly had a nervous breakdown then - my family and friends are more stressed out than me cos I'll be a nightmare til I know if I got any :twisted:

    Cool, it's just - and no offence meant to anyone, I'm sure we're all trustworthy - I'd hate to book the day off work, travel to London, get outside the gig and my ticket doesn't exist and/or has been sold to someone else... is there any way to ensure this doesn't happen?

    I'm thinking so far ahead - I probably won't even get a ticket!

    Well, if you're getting it from someone here - best thing would be to look at post count and interaction with others. I think a lot of us know each other too, anyone I've met from here I would totally vouch for when it comes to things like this, except Dunk :lol:

    LOL so true - we have all this time to enter the lottery but we all did it on the dot :-) I was so paranoid my laptop might break or the connection might go down or something, I sat on here before 5pm with crossed fingers and toes :)))

    Good luck everyone!! Really hope we all get tickets :) It's been nice talking to everyone on here!

    I haven't had an email from HMV either and cannot find a single link on their site about it :-(

    Well, that's fair enough... a bit worrying for me, though! I've been signed up here for 5 years but haven't posted in ages! I've been top class lurker! :) Hopefully some kind soul might trust me enough...

    HI all - I just talked to HMV and was advised the following:

    Emails are being sent out to everyone who pre-ordered the album before the deadline. They started being sent out at 5pm and will reach email inboxes by 9am tomorrow apparently at the latest as the pre-sale opens at 9am! I asked what we should do if we do not receive the mail as HMV's helpline closes at 6pm and they said all we can do if the mail does not come through with the link in, is phone them at 9am tomorrow morning!

    FIngers crossed all of us that the email gets through!!

    Well, I'm in the same situation. I joined five years ago too. I actually had a load of posts on the old board, including about how I met Eddie at the Jools Holland show but those seem to have completely disappeared from my post count for some reason!

    how long does it take to send an email...!!!?? or, in other words, they've got a feck of a lot to send! ;):(
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    I'm in with the lottery. Looking forward to seeing a HMV email too.

    BUT $US145 FOR A PAIR OF TICKETS FOR THE SHEPHERD'S BUSH EMPIRE IS VERY EXPENSIVE...

    I can't afford to end up with four, but I am sure I can get rid of the other three on here if need be.

    Fingers crossed people.
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

    The girl at HMV was unimpressed by my over excitedness :) I tried to explain I just wanted to be sure I wasn't going to miss the link but they weren't really too helpful :)

    I just realised I have been on here for 4 years and haven't posted much at all - shame on me!!

    £87 for two tickets to a special show like this? Don't think that's expensive!

    You should have no problems finding them homes on here ;)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    :P Thanks ML :)

    I have just checked my SPAM box about ten times, I may need camomile tea soon. We're all going to end up on some kind of overnight vigil on here. I'll bring the cupcakes and whiskey..!
