Dear all,
I have send a letter to PC and Guy in CC.
Not telling PC is a jerk, but asking for explanation, giving him a spreadsheet with details and conclusions of my analyzing.
Also told him we are sad, angry, disappointed and so on.
Also told him that the tickets that were assigned weren't always the best blocks, Barcelona far away, Amsterdam row 21-40 etc.
Some numbers, thanks to the 69 people who responded. They subscribed to 205 shows.
So my numbers are from those 205 shows they asked.
There seems not to be any link to how many tickets you asked. Sometimes 1 was awarded or not, sometimes 8 were awarded or not.
There is NO ticket assigned in the US
Almost none in the UK
Quite a lot in France, over 50%
Less than 20% of all shows those 69 applied to were rewarded
I hope he will reply, I will let you know
All the best,
Ingrid
Thank you Ingrid, your time and efforts are much appreciated!
Now I am not sure what to do next. The two tickets I have bought for The O2 will seat us up to two-thirds of the way down the hall from the stage, where you can only see the back of peoples heads, and not the band from previous experience. Do I now try and buy two more tickets in the normal presale, hoping for MUCH better seats, and somehow pass on the two Fair Admission tickets? Do I try and buy better tickets through the normal sellers somewhere closer to the front, maybe to side of the floor area, on the banked seats? Or do I just give up? Things are not good for me financially right now, so there is not much chance of me going to a concert abroad, as much as I would love to, but I also just will not have the time due to workload. (What is a holiday again?)
Blocks A1 - A3 contain 1056 seats, as best as I can tell, so if 1000 seats are allocated to the fan club per gig, somebody else must have a big chunk of those blocks if fans have been offered seats in B1 - B3 and C1 - C3.
