    I have got 2 tickets and was so excited BUT I read somewhere to use a Maidstone postcode when applying as they get preferance. So I did thinking they would be emailed tickets like the AFrika and Flutag ones. Email confirmation says that they will be posted. But the address was totally fabrictaed so I wont get the tickets. It says if they dont arive by 6.5.08 I can call and arrange to pick up replacement tickets (In Maidstone somehwere i guess) but I need to shjow proof om my address . Aggggh - if anyone has got anysuggestions on how i can get round this it would be gratefully received

    Phone them, and say "sorry but I tell lies" "please give the tickets to someone who does really live in maidstone" will do to start with :rolleyes:

    You not getting the tickets and them being given to someone else that didn't lie on the application would be the best solution.

    I live in Maidstone and didn't get tickets what a con!

    SILLYMEEEE its N O B S like you that have stopped genuine people who live in Maidstone like myself getting tickets! The people of Maidstone council tax will be paying for it hence why we got first priority even though i live only 2 miles away from it i didn't get tickets :(

    Well done for wasting two ticket! The best thing you can do is phone them up and say you lied and to give them to someone else!

    I didn't get tickets either. I live in Maidstone too. Nobody else I know got them, family or friends(over 20 people). So much for postcodes. Totally gutted.

    LOL. well done you :rolleyes:

    A few friends of ours applied from various areas in Kent but didn't get anything. Hope all who are going enjoy the day! We went to a one a few years back and we had to queue for hours from 4 or 5am to get tix :D had a great time though.

    well i can't beleive this! i live in preston and tired last year an NO luck, thought i would apply this year and travel down but thought i had ZERO chance so made no arrangements, and guess what i just checked my email and it says i got a pair for saturday but cant change my shifts and get off work! im gutted, why couldn't i have got them when i could have walked to the gig, why can't they give more notice if you have got tickets?

    before people have a go at me about not begging for time off before i got the email i applied for preston and NONE of my friends or family got a ticket so i thought i had no chance esp as i am outside of kent. i guess i have to return them what a b*mmer.
