It has all the usual stuff in there but one interesting point is that it states as below,I have also included the full e mail as you can see it is not a standard letter . This is just helping touts surely...........another day another mixed message •Should the card holder NOT be attending the concert, they are still required to collect the tickets accompanied by the two persons who will be going to the concert. Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert - The O2 Dear Ticketmaster Customer, Congratulations on being a successful ballot winner for the much-anticipated exclusive Ahmet Ertegun Tribute concert.

To avoid long queues on the day of the show you are strongly urged to pick up your tickets and wristbands on Sunday 9 December, or arrive as early as possible on Monday 10 December. Please be aware that ticket collection will be busy at peak times and you should anticipate having to wait to be served. •To collect the tickets each original purchaser and the person accompanying them to the show MUST BOTH be present in order to pick up the tickets and wristbands.

Reselling a ticket for profit or commercial gain or use for competitions, promotions or hospitality packages without the express permission of the artiste's management or promoter will void the ticket.

NeverOffside Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 dunno... maybe they have "ways" of finding out?

nirvana Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 What a disaster this is turning out to be....just picture thousands of Zep hungry fans waiting in que while someone argues about their ticket reciepts and how they aquired them!

jeff Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i do not think, there will be any troubles getting in. First of all: a) riots will be no help to anyone ticketmaster wont go to any dispute threatening with client legal action c) identity of ticket purchaser - they are not police - they are not going to check whether names are right, when you paid it all with your credit card - how on earth are they going to prove, that you made mistake when filling data/or that it was somebody else filling data or anything d) resale - they can not prove your resale - i.e. you can sale some stuff and tell guy that when you buy that stuff, I will take you to the concert ... clear and legal am i right - of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEPP68 Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Jeff you are right the other point is do you think someone working there on about 6 or 7 pound an hour is going to be arsed with all the hassle, if they did it will just decend into complete chaos imagine how long the whole process would take Also that bit about checking I.D. again the night of the show, it just is not going to happen and here speaks somebody who won a ballot code first time round and paid for it with my own credit card.

desirezep Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 The whole thing has been a mess, and I would not be surprised in the que (line) it gets worse on Sunday, surely there should of been an easier way and a better way of doing all of this, why did they have it in 02 surely somewhere a little bigger in London would of been better then more zeppelin fans could of attended.

SteveAJones Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ticket Holders: Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!

This clearly allows the ticket purchaser to not go to the actual concert, and, in their place, 2 other people..... The caveat is that the ticket purchaser, ie the cardholder.... must go to the O2 with the 2 lucky people, to get their tickets and wristbands. •Tickets brought from unauthorised agents and auction sites are not valid and admission to the event will not be permitted. There will be presumably a Maser list from TM that shows who paid for the tickets. If Person A bought the tickets and sold the tickets on E-Bay to person B, I don't think TM would know about that. But when person B goes to get the tickets... unless person A, the seller goes with them... I don't see how person B is going to get the tickets....

masoni Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I have two tickets but can't go on Monday. I can however, go on the Sunday. Can i get two people in and wristbanded and not need to attend on the Monday??? The last point on the TM email (See below) seems to imply I do but surely that's ridiculous "On the night of the show everyone will be required to present BOTH the wristband and ticket for entrance to the show. Wristbands must not be removed or tampered with prior to entering the show or your access will be refused.

Bronwyn Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yet there are people who have had their tickets/wristbands posted to them. As evidenced on this site. I thought the ballot was supposed to be the "only way" to get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivewireYouthMusic Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hiya the ballot was the only way to get the majority of the tickets but there are a lot of tickets out there related to the band and other people close to the band, these are despatched defferently I guess.

masoni Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm going on Sunday and I'd be more than happy to pass on both tickets if I could. Unfortunately, I won't be there on Monday so the risk would be whether you can get in without the original ticket holder on the night. Also - I'm not asking for stupid money for the tickets just face value and maybe a little extra to cover my diesel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
