[bennyk]

i also got 2 emails from them! having only bought 1 ticket saying:

If you are not in to sign for them a card will be left advising you to call the postal service to arrange for re-delivery. Please note, it is your responsibility to make arrangements with the postal service to arrange for this re-delivery.

kinda strange but both saying the same thing?

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Yeah I got 2 early entry tickets as well.

They don't need to send me 2 emails to tell me about the same tickets though, surely? I mean, both e-mails have the same numbers...

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Well, I suppose if I do get double the tickets, I can just sell them and that'll be my Leeds spending money sorted.

No worries.

[sloan85]

same here. there were separate reference numbers for permits and tickets on the original order, hence the 2 dispatch emails.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Sell 'em to ya if you like.

[pickitoutlandreau]

Just to add further confusion.

Does anyone else, like me, have a message saying their tickets have been dispatched on the tracker on the website, but NOT an e-mail saying so?

Everyone else seems to be getting e-mails. Regardless, I'm sure everyone's will turn up on time.

[moshing]

I still have nothing and am starting to really worry now.

Arggghhhh!

I despise seetickets with a passion.

Another year and yet again i'm left waiting for my tickets til the last minute despite buying them in the September presale.

Rang them several times this week

Tues - "Tickets will definitely be with you by the end of the week... we're sending them out early this year" (?!)

Wed - "Tickets have been dispatched Royal Mail Special Delivery.... you'll have them by 1pm tomorrow" Great, i take the day off work so i'm in to sign for them...

Thurs (1pm) - "Tickets are still awaiting dispatch.... you'll have them by the latest Tues but they should be dispatched today" So I was blatently lied to then....

Thurs (4.30pm) - "You'll recieve your tickets by the latest 1pm on Monday but I doubt they'll be sent out today" Asked if i'd receive an email saying they'd been sent... "Errrrr... maybe?"

Do seetickets staff have ANY idea what's happening?

Thanks for that.... here's keeping fingers crossed they arrive!

I think they are the only ones who do the presale but if i'm wrong i'd love to get them from another company! I only started ordering the presale tickets when i couldn't get through on ticket night one year and ended up having to buy leeds tickets instead of reading.

My Rage tickets for Finsbury park NEVER turned up but luckily I was able to pick them up on the gate.

I know they wait to send out tickets because of touts and fraudulent copies but I fail to see why, no matter whether i book in september or in march, my tickets are ALWAYS in the last batch to be sent out.

I definitely think, considering the presale tickets are paid for almost a year in advance, that they should be the first batch to be sent out.

And don't get me started on why they send out the day tickets before weekend and early entry when you'd think it'd be more important for people travelling down on the wednesday to have their tickets before people who, at the earliest, would be travelling 2 days later.

Ahhh... I remember back in the day when you could order a Reading ticket a few weeks before the festival, have the ticket in hand with plenty of time to spare and it only cost the princely sum of £80

I know i'll have forgotten all the hassle and worry of getting my hands on the tickets as soon as they arrive and i'm on my way down to the festival and i've never been overly concerned in the past that my tickets wouldn't arrive before i leave but after the debacle with the Rage tickets i'm beginning to wonder......

"Ahhh... I remember back in the day when you could order a Reading ticket a few weeks before the festival, have the ticket in hand with plenty of time to spare and it only cost the princely sum of £80 "

I found a poster from my first Reading in my mother's loft a few months back - 1994, I bought my ticket a week before and it cost £65

[Dave The Hedgehog]

The good ol' days when things used to be so much less complicated, eh?

[jordanuk90]

I still haven't had an email to say im panicking is an understatement

[phil123]
