I swear to god I hope this was not a 10c scam to make them look good ... conspiracy theories are running in my head right now :?

Hi everyone

I'm just reading through some of these posts. In response to - 'a scam to make them look good?' and other similar comments, I need to tell you all a little story.

I was personally involved in organising this ticket allocation. I have spent the past week working with a very helpful contact who sourced these tickets for all of US as they and the company they work for, and I, were so upset that many UK 10c members were unable to get face value tickets.

I have spent all day today on the phone to my contact, trying to find the best way of ensuring that the 10c members who missed out the FIRST time in the lottery got another chance to have some of these last few tickets. Ames and I have spent the best of the past few weeks rounding up names on here and we very recently started a NEW thread for those who still did NOT have tickets. This needed to happen so we could get names in the hope that this contact would come through for us and secure tickets for you all. I was absolutely unable to tell anyone on here that more tickets may come up due to the nature of the contact and also in case they did not come up, which would have been a real blow to everyone. I have been following up these tickets every day for the past week and only heard this morning that they would possibly be available after all. I have spent the best part of the afternoon discussing with the contact how best to sort out the tickets for everyone on here and our aim was to get as many of you tickets as possible.

As I haven't been on email today, I have only just caught up with these threads and it was decided by several of us earlier by telephone today that the fairest way to ensure YOU got tickets was to put them on sale on here to FAN CLUB MEMBERS only. I had originally had the possibility that I myself would be organising the allocation and I was even prepared to buy as many as possible and allocate them to as many of you you all if I could. However, luckily a fan club contact was INCREDIBLY helpful and went out of their way to ensure that this last alloocation was done properly, and fairly, via the 10c, this afternoon.

It was of the utmost importance to us that ebay touts did not have the chance to get these last few precious ticket. There are bound to be people who do not post on this forum very often who have been lucky and got tickets - it does not make them any less of a fan, does it? I know that there are going to be disappointed people out there, and I am truly sorry to all of you who have not scored a ticket but I would really like you to know that this past week has been a hub of a couple of us working hard behind the scenes back and forth to try to make these final tickets possible. I am just the person who represented you all to the right people but those right people went out of their way to help you, so please don't feel that this is a scam, a rip off, or a marketing ploy to make 10c look good :-) This was in fact a genuine and great moment of industry people trying to do the right thing.

This is not me asking for a pat on the back or a well done, this is me telling those of you who are disappointed or upset that I am a fan who has worked in the industry who was so upset by what happened to all of us that I felt something needed to be done. I contacted someone in the industry who I thought should know what experience we had with HMV etc and the result was that she worked with me to try to get these tickets for you all. And it happened, which was beyond anything I could have anticipated. I was expecting maybe 10 tickets but I told my contact we had at least 70 people on here who needed a ticket - the fact that they got 25 pairs is amazing and I was over the moon when I heard about it.

I sincerely hope that some of you from our original list got tickets, it was always our intention.

big love to all and may you ALL get a ticket x
