    ALL LONDON PRE-SALE SOLD OUT
    They have had a nightmatre
    The server kept crashing and now it is stating that tickets have been held for you with a connection id and when you phone up and get through (After 2 hours) they state that the server is churing out random connection id's that do not exist

    I have had this. Tried to reserve 2 tickets in London, told to ring helpline with connection ID, stayed on hold for 35 minutes (!!!!) only to be told that these tickets had been purchased by someone else. Came off phone, went back to computer and refreshed the page and it gave me same message with different connection ID!!! The man told me to get up early and try to get some 2moro but I told him that I could not afford them now as I had to put the money away for my phone bill!!!
    If at first you don't succeed ........ ;) Alternative autism therapies should be free!!

    i got error message

    can't get anyone to answer helpline number

    do these companies do this on purpose to rake in the cash by 0870 numbers?

    Can you use 0870 numbers out of mobile free minutes, or are they not classed as landline calls?

    0870 are certainly NOT classed as landline

    you are better off phoning from a landline (from work i find is the cheapest hehe)

    it depends on how you call them at what time of day etc etc

    ie BT or NTL or Carphone warehouse or 1899 etc etc

    who are you with?

    BT is currently 7.1 p / min

    so a 2 hour wait on hold will cost you £8.52

    1899 is currently 7.0 p /min weekdays

    only 2 p / min on 1899 on weekends (that doesn't really help now i know)

    please note mobiles are much more expensive again

    everyone please rememebr to use https://www.saynoto0870.com
