Good afternoon dear friends and fellow veterans of the Brixton ticket-torture thread :D

 

I'm hopeful today might be our day. Debs was alerted on Thursday night, and it can't take more than a couple of days for someone to sort this out, can it? Her message yesterday was vague as to timing, but it takes a lot of mental agility for 'very soon' to mean 'Monday'.

 

It's all been a bit of a farce really, right from the start with the problems entering. And it closed so long ago, and still no word. The later they leave it the more people won't be able to get organised in time. Just think of all those precious tickets going to waste :(

 

Been writing any more songs? :lol:

 

I've been trying lol, and listening to Chinese Sleep Chant today, I keep imagining I'm hearing 'I'm waiting' over and over :D

On another topic, good and bad news for us Warning Sign fans from the Canadian interview.

 

The bad: (Chris, describing each song on A Rush, gets to WS) 'it's boring'

 

The good: 'but we're going to start playing it again'

 

How amazing is that??!!!

 

:stunned::dance::guitarist:

Really?!?

It would be my dream to hear Warning Sign :nice:

I am guessing that the emails will be sent Monday morning between 9 and 12.

...the Brixton ticket-torture thread :D

Well said! BTTT as I call it.

 

Monday would be torture deluxe. And leaves just one week to make arrangements. But I guess I won't have to worry about that anyways.

As a journo I'm surprised the NME or other music sites havent picked up on this. Its bad PR for the band after announcing a date that people would be notified.

 

It would have been easier to just leave the date off of the confirmation emails and keep people guessing.

 

Its a shame.

yeah, they are just causing us to go mental.

No relief for us on the BTTT (Brixton ticket torture thread) then eh?

 

I'm starting to really worry that something's badly wrong here. Days late now and it'd surely only take a couple of hours at a computer (at most) to set everything up, unless there's a problem with the competition entries data.

 

It's baffling, and the longer they leave it the more people who live further away are going to miss out because they can't make plans/bookings in time. Some people are going to be really let down for no good reason.

 

Interesting comment Ron, do you really think any publishers would be interested in this? I would have thought it's only of interest to those who are waiting...?

I wish you all the best luck with the tickets ;)

 

Hope they can sort the mess out! Me im lucky to be a very lucky one. And have won the tickets from a radio station :stunned:

Thanks, I remembered your very happy story from your intro thread :) I just wasn't sure you had actually already received the tickets.

so has no-one recieved a e-mail yet? even if i did theres now 2 reasons i cant go 1. a bit late for me to organize things and 2. im only 16....i didnt realise u had to be 18 till a few days after i entered...guess im not going lol

It's OK, don't worry, we all believe you've won tickets :) I just wondered if anyone had actually seen one yet...

 

Coldplay92 that sucks mate. Are you sure you need to be over 18 though? It seems a bit odd (and unfair).

I would guess with the timescales, there would be no actual tickets sent out. I guess you'll have to collect them on the door with id on the night

There's time, isn't the gig on the 16th? Some ticket agencies don't send them out till a few days before. Plus, 7000 people picking up tickets at Brixton would a) take hours and b) be a bloodbath, wouldn't it?

Bloody hell Coldplay take your time, I can't wait much longer! How long does it take to send out a few emails? Yeah they are leaving it a bit late for sending out tickets... I was thinking you might just have to print the email off, I've done that with other tickets in the past so it could be that? Maybe. HURRY UP! :) Me wants to know!

who knows. I don't know that I trust the postal system enough for someone to send out 7000 tickets 6 days before an event. with the ticket agencies, its not all the tickets in one go, coz some send them out months before.

As far as I know (and do please correct me if I'm wrong:)) ticketmaster send out all their paper tickets around four or five days before a gig, and have special 'arrangements' with the post office that ensure delivery. When a band's playing somewhere like Wembley that would be many thousands of tickets too.

 

I'm open to what you're saying Jenjie, I just can't imagine the ensuing chaos at Brixton!
