Queen Bitch Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Well I'm FURIOUS - came back from holiday to find a global email from the 'star seller, with 100% positive feedback' on ebay, telling me to contact paypal for a refund for the GC ticket I bought from her in May. Paypal won't refund the money due to the 45 day rule. I'm not that bothered about the money as I'll no doubt get it back via my VISA (if I can be arsed writing to them) but I now don't have a ticket for the show. All this aside, there's something not quite right with her strategy if her two UK dates have failed to sell out and MAJOR LOONS like me and don't have tickets.
Queen Bitch Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 As of today - there were still £110 and £65 tickets available yesterday.

Queen Bitch Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I'm currently the highest bidder for another GC on ebay - only £51.00 so I doubt it'll be highest for long but we'll see. Otherwise, I'm just gonna try the touts outside as I'm in London from Wed-Sun - going to see that Joan Rivers play on Friday.

I'm in much the same situation having been totally fucked over by Viagogo. CUNTS. Whilst prepared to pay a comparatively extortionate amount of money I'm now channeling my inner Donna Summer and saying "enough is enough" and £400 is just too much for an £85 ticket. I may have to hide my credit card just in case (thank god my debit card's gone missing). I'm also slightly incredulous that M (or, more to the point, Livenation) have given Viagogo an official allocation of tickets to sell at truly exorbitant prices. I really do want to go but the situation has been soured by my shite experience with Viagogo that I'm now close giving up on the whole thing and resigned to the fact that I shan't be going
jonski43 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I just went via ticketmaster. Not prepared to be ripped off by an official outlet. Viagogo were a total ripoff. The old tart can go bankrupt rather than me losing some cash.

The old tart can go bankrupt rather than me losing some cash. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster didn't have any GC tickets and the only other person I know going will be in the GC. I can almost forgive being ripped off by a greedy con artist or scalper but an advertised "official partner"? Not so much. I'd go on my own but I went to a Prince concert on my own years ago and felt like such a self-conscious, sad, friendless, fuck, dancing and singing on my own that I can't bear to do it again (especially in some godforsaken seat the length of a whole football pitch away from the stage).

Go on your own! I saw CT twice and the second time I was by myself. It was still fun and Wembley will be so packed with up-for-it people that you won't feel as self conscious as you think. It didn't bother me at all. Most people going to see this will be pretty like minded, I wouldn't worry about it.
markm Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 As of today - there were still £110 and £65 tickets available yesterday. I just tried ticketmaster for a friend who is desperate to go, nothing is coming up not even a single seat. Oh and I love how AlKylieda have been in MELTDOWN on other boards about the attendance for the Cardiff show but shut the fuck right up about the MASSIVE attendances for the Nice, Berlin and Zurich shows.
BoogieWoogie Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 well my worry is the weather its pissing with rain all the time and i just heard that wembley doesnt have a closing roof! what if it rains?! agh!

Nightshade Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 where are they getting this info from?? when do the Box office scores come out? If it follows the same timeline of TCT, we should start seeing the first Boxscores sometime next week. I hope they come sooner though.

Well to be honest the Cardiff show was a well deserved slap in the face - I'm now not seeing this tour and I could have got GC for Cardiff but I wasn't putting myself out for her.

It maybe worth checking a Ticketmaster a few days before the show. I have a feeling Seatwave, Get Me In and Viagogo will dump tickets back on TM that they cant sell. Apparently seats came on TM a few days before the Cardiff show.
Queen Bitch Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I got Block A, Row B for RIT in Manchester two days before the show having only managed Block D for Earls Court when they went on sale! I'm currently highest bidder for a GC on ebay but I've now got the chance to go to Spain next week so I'm swithering over whether to cancel my arrangments in London.

I'd go to Spain to get away from the awful weather we are having.
Queen Bitch Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I was in Crete last week - can't believe how SHIT this summer has been.
markm Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I was in Crete last week - can't believe how SHIT this summer has been. I am off to Mykonos next weekend. Can't wait to get away, I have given up on us ever having a British summer.
Queen Bitch Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Ooh Mykonos is WONDERFUL - I went there in 99 and every bar was BLASTING Beautiful Stranger - it always reminds me of that holiday.
markm Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I LOVE Mykonos. The weather, people and food are amazing. I always manage to spot cute boys when I am there.
markm Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Seetickets have just released extra standing tickets.
Sire Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Is that the unsold Hot Tickets or is it too early for those?
markm Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 No, the extra ones released are general admission standing. The unsold Hot Tickets if there are any would be in the Golden Circle.
Sire Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 No, the extra ones released are general admission standing. The unsold Hot Tickets if there are any would be in the Golden Circle. Oh cool, thanks!
funkydita Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 So...I had an ongoing issue with Viagogo over a GC ticket and was resigned to the fact I wasn't going. On Wednesday I spoke to their customer service department again and (like one of those cunty complainers) asked for their head office number, they refused to give it and almost gloated that I wouldn't find it on the internet blah blah blah. The pink mist descended and I came over all crazy Madonna faggot, found the full name of Viagogo's CEO, wrote an angry e-mail and addressed it to around fifteen different versions of what I thought could be his e-mail address, hoping one would get through. And it did! Yesterday the Chief Operating Officer called me and today I have a GC ticket in my hand (and they waived the service fees as a goodwill gesture meaning it's cheaper than my initial transaction that caused all the problems)
Guest Hafo Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Ha! Good on ya! There's no greatest power, than the power of an IRATE Madonna fan it seems...
Queen Bitch Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I've been top bidder for one on ebay since Wednesday so it looks like I'll be going too, so from now on it's ALL ABOUT eyes, hair, mouth, figure, dress, voice, style, image.
markm Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 The current weather forecast for Thursday is CRAP light rain in the afternoon, heavy rain in the evening. Oh joy!
