    I went along on Sunday to the maintee show with my printed email in hand. Once there, I was directed to a queue of people waiting to collect tickets which was huge - so big in fact that the start of the show was delayed by 15mins to get everyone in so why didn't the event just post out more tickets? My email confirmation came weeks before the show.

    There were no signs for tickets anywhere and I heard so many people asking about where they needed to go and the officials just kept saying follow the queue which eventually ended up at the seating area so without showing anyone my email or collecting tickets I was able to just take a seat. No-one asked me for a ticket at any point. Anyone could have just wandered in off the street and taken a seat.

    I think there were quite a few other organisational issues the show could have been sorted out beforehand but there we go.

    That said, it was free and the show was very entertaining and well worth going to see. All the kids I saw loved it in particular I think.
    I'm now off to Varekai in 2 weeks for some more gymnastic fun.

    They also checked our tickets before entering and we couldn't have gone through without....I guess one of the reasons they don't post the tickets -or like me just at the last minute is to avoid them appearing on Ebay...just a guess tho...

    Is it a problem that someone on here gave me there ticket with THEIR name, for me to pick them up?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    Not a problem at all....we've all been swapping around or giving away tickets with individuals names on. You'll get in with no trouble at all.

    Enjoy:beer:
