Can anyone explain if its even legal to say 9o'c then do it early.
I spent the night at a friends so I could use a pc(I dont have one) and then bam!!! It's over before it's even started. And I see tix on e-bay already....so obviously they went to the right people there!!!!
I didn't even get the excitment of the link ever taking me to tix.
Man, this is just rubbish.
Again, I ask for a spare please if anyone has one.
Thanks

Inspired by Pearl Jam, making live music dreams come true.
I kept opening new windows from my link from about 8.48am onward, never saw anything different until it all slowed down at 9. How could some people get the ticket page early and others not? I don't get that.

Exactly the same for me.
Never even caught a glimpse of the tickets, and I was on there well before 9!!!

Problem is where they source their time from - for example, my work PC says the time is 9:38, while the phone next to it says the time is 9:34 - according to our IT guys, they get their time from different sources (why they don't just use the same one is beyond me)
So 8:57 for us could have been 9:00 for HMV. Either way, I was still stuck looking at the Olympic Stadium from a train window at the time, getting increasingly despondent
Keep Trying, I got that and was just about to give up and get on with some work when i tried for the last time and it came up and let me pay for them, I now have my confirmation email and everything.
my misses is just checking she can get the time off work, if not i'll have a spare!
I know i've posted a few simalar things in the last few minutes but I'm just massively excited. I'm actually shaking still and I got my ticks 10 minutes ago!
It just said there were 3 standing tickets left, but then came up and said they had all gone.
I managed to get some earlier, selected to have them posted but then I needed to enter my postcode for my delivery address, after I did that it flashed up saying there were none left. urrrrrghh that makes me mad because now I think if I had just picked them up from the venue I might have got some!!
I got there was 1 standing ticket left and I'm now wishing I hadn't selected the post it option...if only...and I stupidly waited till 9 on the dot...
I just called HMV - took me 20 minutes to get through BUT the guy said they have had a massive problem with the link not working properly and they are going to rectify the problem and send a new link to those who pre-ordered! He said there ARE still tickets available but it's because the link doesn't work properly that some of us are missing out. So basically he said to keep looking at your email inbox today as a link will come back through. He also took my order number (from the CD preorder) and logged the call so that they know it is a genuine request - they advise other fans with the same issue (ie waited for checkout then said none available) can also call HMV customer service on 0845 603 8576 (go for the option for website queries) too if they want their call logged and noted. I honestly don't know if this will work or not but the helpful chap I spoke to was insistent that there are tickets still available for pre salers and we have not completely lost out. I guess it is worth a try eh!
They actually went on sale about five or four minutes early. It was just luck that I clicked it on before 9am.
Ah, I'm kicking myself for not trying this uuuurggggggggggghhhhhhhh!! I hate frickin HMV

If anyone does get through to HMV as per my previous post (about HMV saying tickets ARE still available) then please can you let us know how you get on? I am keen to know if they are just saying that to fob us off or if it is really true!
Also - I made a formal complaint that they had sold tickets to people who went straight off and put them on Ebay and they said they are going to be investigating it. Whether they do or not, I don't know, but would be nice to know they have some kind of genuine concern for their mistake.
Anyone know when does the O2 presale starts? On the priority site it says on Thursday, but no time?
They usually go on sale at 9am through O2.

The boys must have sold a lot of copies of Backspacer in order for us fans to have our precious 'unique' links which were in fact completely useless.
Anyone know when does the O2 presale starts? On the priority site it says on Thursday, but no time?
general sale starts at 09:00 on Thursday. i bet the priority sale will start at the same time... they'll keep a bunch of tickets separate for 'priority'. that's my guess anyway.
depressed...
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?

The fact that they told you that there might be a second link is great, but I now KNOW that I won't get any work done today!!

Well done for at least mentioning it. They may be attempting to simply save face amongst the fans, but the least we can hope for them to make it harder for the scalper bastards to get ebay sales.

Am on the phone to them now, (well listening to some crap music at the mo) - thanks Goddess for that ray of hope! Do we have to phone them for the second link?
However, I hope they are not saying it to string us along in case we cancel our preorders. I was just about to but I guess I won't now until I know there's a second link coming.
Why couldn't they have tested the links before they put them out like this?

Please let us know how it goes. I won't be able to phone them, so I need to rely on on everyone else to pass along the information as it comes in

I am outraged that this was the case, actually. They shouldn't tell us it's an opportunity for those who preordered if this was not the case.
I'm off to enter the lottery.
Problem is where they source their time from - for example, my work PC says the time is 9:38, while the phone next to it says the time is 9:34 - according to our IT guys, they get their time from different sources (why they don't just use the same one is beyond me)
