    I'm constantly phoning from 3 phones and it's never rang once.

    I'm giving up. Cant be bothered now and although i really want to see him I realy have better things to do that sit all day (for the second time) trying to get through.
  • It really is just random luck. I couldn't believe when I heard the phone ring rather than get the engaged tone. Once it started ringing I got the usual "all our operators are busy" message but kept on hanging on and eventually spoke to a really nice girl who couldn't have been more helpful. I was so flustered that I couldn't think where I wanted to sit or anything but she was really good. Still buzzing now! I tried to phone all day yesterday too so I just wanted to give you all some hope.

    All the best!

    "This is a BT Announcement. You have not been charged for this call. The telephone network is busy. Please try again later"

    Loosely translated:

    "This is a BT announcement. This is not our fault. The charge for this call is a huge effect on your blood pressure and patience. Tis not the network which is busy but some student covering the Box Office from home while the builders are in. His pc and phone cannae cope. Please try later if your health can handle the redialling."
  • have to stop 55mins of hitting redial on 4 phones. nothing.

    I have doubts that they are onsale. only one person on here has apparently got through to buy six (excuse my cynicism but a first poster saying got 6 seems a bit troll-esque to me, I have seen that on forums about gigs before...also 6 tickets usually small venue gigs offer limits usually of 4 max)

    I thought 6 tickets was a bit much as well, you would think that it would be a limit of 4

    I give up now. Can't sit here all day listening to an engaged tone.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
