    im not particularly fussy, obviously lower tier seats would be fantastic but to be honest, id just be grateful to get 2 tickets, i still keep phoning on the off-chance but no luck so far :(
    i know i asked already, but if anyone does have spare tickets, drop me a line :)

    Anyone who bought through seetickets your seat allocation should be showing now. I'm not happy with mine so have emailed them. I wont be going at this rate.

    OH spoke to AEG this morning and this is what was said-
    I've just spoken to Holly (very nice and helpful) and she said that the limit should have been 4 for the whole tour but because of the confusion and that so many have ordered more, they are looking to allow more than that and are in talks with the ticket agents to stop the cancellations and let everyone keep all their tickets.

    She couldn't say for definite but said I should be ok with my order and will call me later today to confirm this one way or another.

    If you post this on the forum, I would suggest that no-one else call her and let her get on with sorting the mess out.

    I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. But it sounds promising.

    I made a big mistake because I thought that the pricing was too expensive when I had the presale option of going for a package, especially as you don't know what row you're on until the confirmation arrives. I wasn't really interested in the aftershow party, champagne or red carpet...just a good ticket, so I thought I'd thus hang fire until the general sale..by which time there was no VIP packages or A Block tickets for the opening night at all :-((( Silly me.

    Hi,

    lastminute have 5* packages available for the first night - I would imagine they are block A.

    You could always email them and ask them.

    Cheers,

    Thanks CPG didnt realise they would allocate them so quickly. Im fairly happy with mine, could have been better sure but could have been a damn sight worse as well.

    What allocation did you get ?

    It does not state where the tickets are, so I certainly would not assume they are near the front. The 5* claim relates to the hotel, not the concert tickets.

    DemiDee, hopefully you will have more luck closer to the time. Don't be disappointed if you can't get front row, I personally find that you get a better view from a few rows back.
    Gone ... or have I?

    OH just sent me this and he's not happy:mad:

    I'll give them a call in the morning. At least we now know it's bull that cancellations are down to AEG, from the new T&Cs on the TM sale page:
    Please adhere to published ticket limits. Orders exceeding the ticket limit may be cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster at its discretion. This includes duplicate orders having the same name, billing address or credit card.
    So it's down to TM discrection not AEG, bunch of bloody criminals. I'm absolutely sick of it and will take them to court if they cancel the tickets and not refund the booking fee. The cannot change their T&Cs at a whim and keep lying to people about who it's down to.

    and so the saga continues, I'm so fed up with ticketmaster.

    I was looking on the FAQs for the tour and they have also added to the ticket limit question that it is now 4 tickets for the entire run of shows. Nice of them to put all this info. for us when the tickets went on pre sale, ugh. :mad:
