    Im cant believe how great everyone here is. What a good bunch of honest people! I think that category 7 should have preference but i also think only 10c members should be eligible...

    "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."

    Def agree with the above...

    Firstly, I can be taken off the list, someone has very kindly sorted me out.

    On the subject of spares. I also did not recieve an email from HMV, I have a friend who had the same problem so it could be rife. I think that the OP, the guy who came up with this idea should get a spare if he aint got one then he should at home privately allocate everyone who needs a ticket a number, then anyone who has spares can offer a ticket to a number. that person is then released from the lottery to make arrangements with the person who had spare. I think this would make it completely random as much as poss.

    the number things a good idea, but again i think there should be some sort of priority for those who are in the 10club, who missed out on the 10club lottery and the hmv presale...

    I agree with philthepip, regarding the OP getting first option on any spare ticket, and also agree with his method of allocating the remaining spares using the numbers draw.

    With regards to proving you tried on the HMV sale - everyone who ordered the album will have an order number, and a relevant confirmation page on www with all the information on it (which can be cut and paste into an email if needed). So if they never received the email, it can be proved. Though those that ordered the albm on 10c might be hard done by, so it's a tough call.

    Also vote for the list to be closed at 9am tomorrow morning.

    I'll be trying with all means possible again tomorrow, and will update here once I know the outcome.

    Fucking come on!

    PS. I don't require a +1, as is currently shown on the list.

    OK, no luck in the 10c lottery either after the HMV fiasco so keep me on the list! and close it as soon as possible to maximise my chances of getting a spare from somewhere...! ;)

    thanks to all for organising this thread and restoring some faith in humanity which those cnuts on Ebay have somewhat diminished... :x

    EDIT: oh, i'll be Cat 7, or assume i will be when i miss out on the O2 presale or general tickets as well... :roll:
    just looking for the 1 ticket.

    been reading this for ages top work people!!!

    i agree the forerunners of this thread/idea (i beilieve to be ames) should obviously come first thats a shoe-in

    however you decide to do it will obviously benefit some to others just try not to get too bogged down with it all, you are doing a massive favour for many and will be thanked greatly i imagine

    i will be trying tomorrow morning in the presale even though i promised myself i wouldnt go through that again!!! :D obviously any spares will find their way on here.

    Like i said dont get caught up too much into the emotion of it all, many loyal lovely people will sadly probably miss out

    for the record CAT 7 for me

    Good luck tommorrow everyone PEACE OUT!

    Actually, I was wrong about leaving the list open. It makes sense to close it before the sale, then spend until the Friday evening getting everyone up to date and then have the draw the next evening. However, I really wouldn't do the draw too soon, as it takes some people a while to get everything sorted out regarding spare and needs etc.

    Just as an addendum, as scottie did above, people wanting tickets should be dead clear about how many they want. It's no good getting an offer of a spare from someone and then saying you want another one if you didn't +1 in the first place...
    we're all going to the same place...

    YEAH GOOD SHOUT!!!

    lets be realsitic the thought of loads of pairs flying around is a little optimistic

    plus would be better if we satisfied as many individuals as apposed to a few couples

    plz change me to a single cheers

    yeah, hopefully we'll be able to get a bunch in the general sale/O2 sale tomorrow morning and put them up here so that the touts cant get their grubby mits on them and 10Club members get to go to the show!

    Good point. Perhaps we should limit it to a single ticket each?

    i think singles is probably the way to go

    and should we all be lucky and plenty of us get some tomorrow and re-distribute we can roll it around again so some may end up with pairs!

    now whos being optimistic?????? :lol:

    philthehip - I'll take you off the list now.

    scottewing, dbk06 - I'll remove your +1

    jrd, antsinvasion75, icemanap, dbk06 - I'll add you to the list

    xnothingmanx, jack_bass_player, icemanap - I'll add your numebers

    Thanks for your thoughts regarding supplying me with a ticket, obviously I'll try my hardest on Thursday nonetheless to get some spares around.

    I was considering putting the names of all of those on the list into a hat, and all of those with spares into another, and then pairing them up at random. I'll even put the video on YouTube to make it more exciting :lol: Does this sound like a good idea?

    I also agree its fair to limit one ticket each, it's just so unlikely that there will be pairs around unfortunately, are we all agreed about that?

    Edit - Are we all in agreement that we should put a limit on additions to the 'wanting tickets' list at 9am tomorrow, when the general tickets are on sale?

    agreed so close tomorrow at 9, spares available to tenclub members who were in the lottery only, and singles only too....

    As I expressed through moist eyes last night, I fall into group 7 for what it's worth. I'd also agree that it might be fairer if everyone is restricted to asking for just one ticket.

    Everything crossed for all of us tomorrow AM.
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...
