    Iv just pinged an email off to grant stott winging and asking if theres nothing the powers at be over there can do.
    and just generally moaning that someone at the usher hall needs to stand up and take account for what is happening.

    I suspect the network issues will have added to issues of getting tickets, Billy's gigs are always limited advertising. Ie article in Evening news or Scotsman but that about it. However with all the issues, people complaining to Forth One, BBC News running story, etc will have raised the level of interest and awareness. So more people trying!!

    Phone line engaged,

    I've managed to get the link from the very first post up but no Billy listing on any of the dates:mad:

    What is the show called?
    Where do you get the tickets online? Which part of the website? I've checked the calendar as well and nothing shows up!

    http://www.usherhall.co.uk/concerts/index.php

    I've been refreshing this. It's on Sept 09 and has a 'book' button next to each show. It's just that Billy isn't on the list :rolleyes:
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Have they only got one phone line too? Constantly engaged, must be run from some boys house on his wee notebook that he got free 2 years ago.

    Yeah constantly engaged here as well, I can see this just being a repeat of yesterday.
    You would have thought they could even have passed the job over to another ticket company to sell them if the technical issues were going to last.

    It's an absolute joke!

    This is a fair point actually... The thing is, if they dont fix the web site so it can take the load of everyone trying to buy, it will constantly crash and we will never get tickets.
