  • Sorry - just registered on here. This offer has been open for about 2 weeks now, I signed up on the first day and have received my tickets, but I know someone who registered last week and has been told they have all gone. I expect you will all get the same reply.
  • Seems a bit silly of them to ask you to select 1-4 people, then on the e-ticket it states that each ticket will allow a maximum 4 people (I previously had chosen 3 places):

    Admits: *YOU* and guests (maximum 4 people in total)

    Can anyone confirm if this is printed the same for people who had only chosen 1-2 people?

    I chose 3 and got a ticket for 4 but I have other people who want to go.
    Life's what you make it....

    "I've got one, two, three, [STRIKE]four[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]five[/STRIKE]... senses working overtime..", XTC. :sad:

    Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there? :cry:

    Hi guys don't want to spoil the spirits

    One of the nice MSE's forwarded me their e ticket.Thanks a lot for that.
    after having a look at it, I'm a bit worried as it says

    Admits: Name1 Surname1 and guests (maximum 4 people in total)

    Now I understand these are non-transferable and was wondering if there will be any specific checks on the name with some identity. I mean ,no way I can prove that I'm the person on the e-ticket and I'm bit paranoid as I'm traveling around 340 miles (return) to be at this event and and as u can imagine, don't want to spoil the fun for the young ones, who are over the moon, after they heard that someone was kind enough to donate their tickets.

    There's not even an option of buying tickets at the counter(not that I would have been able to afford them)

    any advice/suggestions/thoughts really appreciated

    I would say that if they do not say on the e-ticket that proof of identity is required, then they cannot in all fairness demand it. After all, you could quite reasonably attend the event without necessarily having ID, or anything showing your name like a credit card, on you, just some cash.

    Hi, Has anyone got their tickets for this yet? :confused:
  • I am unable to attend the event and therefore have an E-Ticket for up to 4 people going spare.
    If anyone wants the ticket contact me ASAP.
