2 FREE tickets to Afrika! Afrika! @ O2 arena - EXTENDED FOR MARCH!

bushcaro

I would like one more ticket for Sat 3 pm - has anyone who has been already bought any tickets on the door?

I've applied four times (using different names and email addresses - don't know if this makes a difference) and have received four rejections.

I find it a little frustrating to read so many people on here who have received two tickets but want two more so they can take the kids/parents/friends. Surely they should be pleased with the two they've received and could maybe even buy another ticket or two rather than expecting more free ones?

Sorry, if this sounds harsh. I admit I haven't got kids of my own so maybe I just don't understand these parental dilemmas.

Hi gillez
Have you actually received rejection emails?

Hi Sparky61,

I received all four rejection emails this morning, although all of the application were made on different days and for different showtimes.

There were two different wordings for the rejections, as follows. The first was for a show this Saturday, booked through the original link (meant for Phillips customers):

Subject: AFRIKA! AFRIKA!

We are sorry to inform you that your entry was not selected in this drawing.

Thank you for your interest in AFRIKA! AFRIKA!, and for your response and we hope to welcome you to our Tented Palaces on another occasion.

Regular tickets for our shows in London are available at all Ticketmaster ticket offices

The last two rejections were received two hours later, sent for shows booked through the second (bongo) link, meant for Barclaycard customers:

subject: AFRIKA! AFRIKA! Complimentary Tickets

Of course, as neither a Phillips or Barclaycard loyal customer I shouldn't expect tickets, but everyone else seems to be getting them!

You're the first person I've heard of that actually had rejection emails.
Hope you have some luck soon

Hi Gillez

I have just received 2 rejections as well, both for different dates. I see some people have posted that they have received 2 lots of tickets (sometimes in the same area!) so it does seem unfair that we haven't had any! Having kids is expensive for sure so I'm not against anyone applying for loads of tickets but I was hoping to get 2 and buy 2 for the kids but I can't even get that many! I had exactly them same thing with the different wording for each rejection email - I wonder if there is some sort of selection process and we do not fall in it?

I am going to apply again using the new link that has been posted and keep my fingers crossed...

Good luck!

I think they are starting to trickle in now, the OH just had 2 rejection emails. Can't copy and paste as somehow comes out warbled but how do you guys know what dates you got rejected, as those emails don't say!

I'm wondering if there are more rejections now because there are a lot more people applying for tickets, this does seem to have spread over the net now and the actual tent isn't very large.

I gave a different name for all four applications (in case you were only supposed to apply once). The rejections started with "Dear <name>" so I know which rejection was for which application. I gave a different email address with each application as well.

For the people that have received multiple lots of tickets, were these all applied for with the same name and email address?

Have you seen how many have made their way on to ebay?

I personally don't think it's right to make money out of this.
