Robbie tickets missing

Organisers scramble after Royal Mail loses 400 orders
April 6, 2006

By Sally Scott

AS many as 1 600 tickets for the three Robbie Williams concerts in South Africa have been lost by Britain's Royal Mail.

The tickets, bought by South African fans from William's Inner Sanctum "priority access" website, went missing and the South African organisers, Big Concerts, were yesterday scrambling to ensure fans whose tickets disappeared would still get to see the superstar in concert.

Although not involved with the ticket sales, Big Concerts marketing manager Michael Anetakis said he had been in e-mail contact with the London office of Inner Sanctum and had been advised a Royal Mail bag containing "400 orders" had gone missing.

Fans were allowed to order a maximum of four tickets per order through the website. While it is not clear how many tickets went missing, the Daily News was told most people ordering tickets through Inner Sanctum had taken the maximum number.

The 400 orders were for tickets for all three concerts. It is not clear how many fans attending the concert on Monday in Durban have been affected by the lost Royal Mail bag.

Anetakis said the matter was being investigated as a "matter of urgency". Organisers also planned to contact those fans who had bought the missing tickets and they would be given a special code to use to gain entry to the concert on Monday.

The fans who signed up to become members of the exclusive Inner Sanctum website were charged £25 (R265). They were told that the fee would give them priority purchasing powers, including the opportunity to buy tickets for concerts before the tickets even went on sale to the general public.

The joining fee included an exclusive T-shirt for each person buying from the site. Johannesburg couple Wendy and Richard Adams decided this was the route they would take and duly paid their fee to join the club and then paid for two Golden Circle tickets.


"The T-shirt, only one, eventually came and we had to pay customs duty," explained Wendy, "but that was all that came."

"My husband kept saying, don't worry the tickets will arrive and we even rang London a few times, which is expensive of course, to check on the progress, but to no avail.

"At one point we were told by a woman at the London number that the tickets had been sent but had gone missing. Then a friend in Durban, who is also waiting for tickets told us she had heard at her hairdresser that the batch of tickets had been stolen in the mail.

"We don't know what to believe now, but I can tell you this, we are going to that concert if we have to cause a riot at the gate!"

The site states: "Subscribers are provided with a wealth of exclusive content and offers not available to non-subscribers."

Advanced priority access to tour tickets in advance of the general public is also offered.

Asked to intervene on behalf of those still empty-handed fans, Anetakis said although purchase of tickets from the site was nothing to do with his company, he would not be happy if any paid-up fan did not get to see the concert.

When the Daily News called the London office of Inner Sanctum, a woman named Sam answered. She declined to give her surname and said she was unable speak to the press, but that there were discussions going on in a bid to resolve the problem.

There was no one available to comment, but "you will get an
e-mail from us", she said.

The concert on Monday has almost been sold out with 40 000 fans expected to attend the show.

GET A JUMP ON ROBBIE TICKETS

WHILE Robbie Williams fans must wait until the end of the month to hear where the planned Wembley gigs for his tour in September will be moved to, they'll be pleased to know that more tickets will eventually be available for sale.

But if waiting seems a little risky - 360,000 tickets sold out in two hours last year - shopping channel ibuy on Sky 632 is running a fab competition which could see you and a mate being flown to Dubai in VIP style for the Robbie gig there.

Meanwhile, for those who already have tickets, dance act Basement Jaxx and the Ordinary Boys have been confirmed as the support acts for the European leg. The world tour kicks off today in Durban, South Africa.

Robbie Williams ticket hopes dashed

He may be one of the biggest-selling artists in the world, but when it comes to Robbie Williams' live performances, apparently no one gets a freebie.

Popular radio station 94.7 Highveld Stereo found this out when it tried to give away free tickets to the sold-out concert at Loftus on Monday.

Tickets for the concert, with an average price of around R500 apiece, were sold out within hours of going on sale at the end of last year.

Highveld bought 100 tickets for the concert with the intention of giving them away as prizes on shows in the lead-up to the concert. But before the station could go ahead with its plan, Williams' management stopped the give-away.

Station manager Ravi Naidoo said this week: "This is the first time such strict regulation has been placed by any artist's management. 94.7's listeners expect when an artist is touring this region, we... would be doing ticket giveaways."

He said the station then worked closely with the record company to give away Robbie Williams hampers to listeners. Naidoo said Big Concerts, the local promoter of the concert, had been "very accommodating with our requests".

However, Michael Anetakis, of Big Concerts, said the restriction came from the singer's marketing company.

"(Williams' management) noticed that around the world? companies were sort of hijacking the event. They decided that no one but the official sponsors should be able to promote the event. In this case, 5FM is an official sponsor and not Highveld," explained Anetakis.

We are delighted to announce that the Inner Sanctum advance sale for Milton Keynes begins tomorrow!

Due to the change of location and the additional capacity of the venue, we are able to offer further tickets for the shows on September 14, 15, 16, 18 & 19.

so does that mean there are going to be GC tickets available for milton Keynes then? coz the only other type of ticket is the general admission ticket.

I think I am going to cry http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/traurig/a060.gif

and then I think I might kill someone http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/boese/a106.gif

Surely not??

where did the info come from Mon? Theres nothing on the official site, and I've not had an email. Maybe they struck me off their list after the slightly sarcastic email I sent them :p

I couldn't find anything on the official site either, in the tours section, it still says Milton Keynes sold out.
Have been expecting some sort of announcement from somewhere though, was bound to happen as a lot of people cancelled their tickets when the venue was moved.

Mon has quoted the official site as the source. Try clearing cookies and cache and refreshing the site.

It's an email sent to IS members http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c035.gif And as usual, not everyone has received it :eek: http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif Which begs the question http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a095.gif How on earth can they start selling tickets when NOT ALL IS MEMBERS have received this mail :confused:

you'd think they would put a notice up on the website too, wouldn't you.

I can't stand all this aggrevation. just when everyone seemed to have calmed down a bit, they go and do something like this.

Robert - your PR sucks :mad:

Gonna take myself off for a long soak in the bath with a couple of glasses of wine.

I agree http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/c021.gif They just seem to go from one PR crisis to another http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/h022.gif Will they ever learn http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif

I have nothing to say other than GGGRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

i still haven't had an email - and theres nothing on the website. the australian dates have been added to the tours bit though.

Could the email have been sent ONLY to those that have not already purchased MK tickets?

now do you think they could possibly be that organised :lol:

Could the email have been sent ONLY to those that have not already purchased MK tickets?

Possibly, because I received it from my Australian friend who lives in Perth http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif But even if that is true, THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER
http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a095.gif Of course it will be leaked to other Robbie fans, causing confusion and unnecessary frustration http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/c005.gif And if the email was only sent to IS members who have not yet used their ticket allocation, they should say that in the EMAIL http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a030.gif It's not rocket science http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/d035.gif

now do you think they could possibly be that organised :lol:


http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/c010.gif we live in hope http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/c050.gif

thing is, even if they were that organised, you'd still think there would be some mention on the website - after all, they go on sale today :eek:

Ive had nothing either.

I'm still wondering what type of tickets these are and is MK bowl really bigger than Wembley?

i just looked on the site..i cant see anything about buying tickets

Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/a030.gif

Where is the Millennium Stadium?

He wanted to do a stadium, so perhaps he will do his last UK gig there http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a015.gif

Is it a 'legit' agency shell http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a015.gif And where would they get this information from :confused:

In Wales Sarah ;)

oh ok cheers

all these extra dates tickets and venues are gonna make it so much harder if i wanted to sell a ticket. I just looked on ebay...there going for nothing. I thought i could buy 4 new tickets...for the GC mabey...then sell my other 4...no way...im keeping the ones i have ...me thinks

i have just been on the robbie site...i cant see anywhere to buy tickets

oh so you can get on there now...only 15 min late....tried to log in and got this message......

The only one it can be is No 4......not a happy bunny

Tried to phone them....they dont open till 10am....thets pants isnt it...be sold out by then

they are selling inner circle tickets for 45 F**king pounds

Noooooooooooooooooooooo way...now in pissed right off

I am so, so mad I am shaking.

I just cant believe that after all the shit of the last 2 weeks they go and rub our faces in it some more. Un f**king believeable.

Ps I do apologise for my language. I dont normally swear at all.

Thats what i paid for my tickets...now to stand on a hill...and probably only get to see a big screen....im so not happy...they wont even let me buy any more....so much for spending £25 to subscribe...aghhhhhhhhhhh

There getting a phone call from me in 9 mins

I dread to think what the atmosphere is going to be like now - there are going to be so many fans who are thoroughly pissed off. And there has been no apology or explanation or anything, except from Tom G. And he seems to have disappeared.

and I still havent had an email from them

Nope i havent eaither...i havent even been given to chance to accept my tickets..im getting worried now...they are soooo gonna get it in 6 mins

This is turning in to one BIG joke now

I'm so glad its not just me who's so cross

I am so glad I managed to sell my tickets when I did. Feel a bit sorry for the buyers though (although there is no guarantee they would have been successful in the resale i suppose).

woohoo i have at least managed to confirm my tickets now...why they couldnt do this the other day is beyond me...i asked why i couldnt buy more tickets..she said it was only for people who joined the site..who hadnt already got tickets...i told her that was unfair...as people would be abke to get better inner circle tickets now...she stayed very quiet..i asked why she wasnt speak ing and was told that because of the number of complants they were getting everyday...they have been told not to anser and to keep quiet...its a complete joke...and i told them that

Right now im spitting feathers

ohhh i should just be glad im going i suppose..it just doesnt seem fair

I just cant think straight anymore. It is so unfair it is beyond a joke. I have heard now that the inner circle tickets are £54 which I believe is what the cat 1 seating tickets were.

what i dont understand is, If there is now room for more people in the inner circle, why couldnt they have given the IS members who had GA tickets the chance to upgrade?

I do think it is time Mr Williams got his head out of the sand and said something about this though. His silence is becoming extremely frustrating.

I am sickened

I tried to cancel my Wembley/Milton Keynes tickets this morning after receiving an email from them reminding me that I had to make a choice! After much deliberation (not to mention driving Mr M up the wall) I took a deep breath and clicked ?refund? only to receive an email saying that my response has been ?rejected? because I had already responded earlier! Which I HAD NOT I hasten to add I tried to cancel my Wembley/Milton Keynes tickets this morning after receiving an email from them reminding me that I had to make a choice!

Which I HAD NOT, I hasten to add http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif

I called the so-called Customer Service line for AN EXPLANATION!

Well no help whatsoever............just the typical excuses ... http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a030.gif


Operator: Our system is very busy, and lots of people are experiencing the
same problem and receiving ??reject?? replies
http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a010.gif

Me: Well, has my order been cancelled or at least can you tell what the status of my order is?

Operator: Sorry, I can't see that either because the system has not been
updated.

Me: So what should I do now?

Operator: You can call back in a few days or wait for an email from us which
you should receive in 3 days............

Me: I asked about the new release of tickets and whether there would be GC/IC tickets available

Operator: Oh sorry I can't answer that??..you can send an email to IS


I give up http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/c016.gif

i havn't bought any of these tickets and i am so glad , i feel sorry for you lot though it must be really frustrating having to go though it all !!

@it is about time rob spoke up about the situation after all we are the TRUE fans!!

I've just called them again http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/c010.gif I wasn't happy being fobbed off http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a035.gif And this time she confirmed that my order has been cancelled and that I would receive a refund in 28 days http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a055.gif

Poor Girl...............as you said Sarah, I asked her why I couldn't reuse my ticket allocation to purchase tickets for a gig say in Germany where there are still tickets available and she said she can't answer that (althought it's NO) but her silence was ''deafening'' to my 'complaints'
http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c055.gif
Perhaps time to send an email to WATCHDOG http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a010.gif

I know its not Robbies fault...and i dont think we can blame him...he is busy touring..so its not him how has done this...its the people who work at his site...Hes probably just as annoyed that his fans are getting to feel this way.
I could quiet truefully cry right now..i so wanted to get up close

oh i feel so sorry for you guys !!!

Hi there girls....what a complete mess this all is. I agree with everything everyone has said.
After the info we had last night, I had a mate visiting who had not previously joined the IS. I TWISTED her arm to get her to join last night which she did (lovely t shirt etc).

She went on to the ticket sales site this morning. Even though she had joined, she still only knew the info about the tickets going on sale from me, there was nothing on IS. It seems that the only people who have had the email are mebers of the IS who have not already purchased using their allowance like Mon said.

Anyway ....warning about to piss everyone off ......she got onto the site no problems and had the option to buy tickets from any of the MK shows for General Admission or Inner Circle. GA same price as ours, Inner Circle a little bit more. So she happily purchased her allowance of 4 inner circle tickets.

So even though it is VERY WRONG and we should not have to be going through this, it seems that the solution is now to get someone else to join IS and purchase away because I do not believe that there are many others out there who even know these tickets are available.

The upside of this, when they go on General Sale, which is now tomorrow I believe, there will be Inner Circle if you are very quick.

It is bittersweet. I am pissed of about the process, but now have an Inner Circle ticket from my mate.

Ok, to put everything in perspective can we have a list of the 'wrongs' the official site has done to IS subscribers regarding MK/Wembley

I'm a little confused and feeling quite sick tbh because what i have in my head is

IS Subscribers were promised advanced ticket sales for all shows, ie, best chance for best seats before the public ticket sales...

then the IS subscribers bought their tickets only to discover they now meant nothing but gen admission due to the venue change - no part refunds to make up the difference

Today we discover the IS are selling more tickets for the GC bit IS subscribers cannot buy these as they've already bought the ones that were changed to gen ad = IS subscribers get the worst deal out of everyone - but hey - its ok cos Rob blogs every blue moon?

I have emailed them about 2 things -

1 - I haven't had an email about the resale or Australia. I should point out that I subscibed twice with different email addresses, and I usually get all the IS emails twice because of this. But I haven't received an email to either address this time. (I didn't tell them I subscibed twice though ;) )

2 - that I think it very unfair to sell inner circle tickets on the resale without offering the original IS subscribers the chance to upgrade their ticket.

I will let you know if they bother to reply.

When i spoke to them this morning..i asked why no one had been recieving emails...they said the have a huge back log...i asked if it was because of all the complants....Longggggggggggggg silence again...then i made her admit it was..You are better of phoning them...you might get somewhere..i gave up trying to email them long ago.

what a farce , surley the people who have paid for subscribtion should get the chance to upgrade their tickets .
All is memebers should be able to go in the circle for free after all this hassle !

yep - you've pretty much summed it up there Shell. I still have the email where it states they have secured some of the best tickets for IS subscribers.

Yep you hit the nail on the head...ITS PANTS!!!!

PANTS ....well said. Someones head should roll over this.

I could quiet truefully cry right now..i so wanted to get up close

It might not be his fault, but as he is so fond of saying its HIS name on the ticket. And if he is annoyed about it, he should damn well come out and say so. He is not touring at the moment, he is training for the footie, and he can't be doing that all day and all night.

I really don't think there is any excuse for him not blogging and reassuring us that he does care, unless, of course, he doesn't :eek:

Feel better for saying that out loud, so to speak. Sorry folks - I am a nice person really :o
Its just that this is my first (and looks like the last) Robbie concert. And it's all gone pear shaped at the moment http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/traurig/a065.gif

i meant training not touring..lol yes i think you right he mabey should be saying something. Im sure he does care and wouldnt want everyone upset. Lets hope something good happens in the end.
And we know your a nice person really ....lol xx

WILLIAMS 'RELAXES' ON TOUR

ROBBIE WILLIAMS plans to take it easy when he kicks off the European leg of his world tour next month (MAY06), because he's too old to be energetic onstage. The 32-year-old has a series of massive stadium gigs lined up for the tour, which started in South Africa in April (06) and ends in Australia in December (06). But he won't be leaping around the stage. Williams says, "Some of the other shows I've done I've been running the 1,500 metres, and the 400 metres and the 100 metres all at the same time. With this show I just want to relax." The singer set a world record when tickets for the tour first went on sale last year (05), selling 1.6 million in one day.

That's nice for him! (Just read this, didn't know where to put it!)

Is it April fools day?















A full moon?

And we know your a nice person really ....lol xx

I am very nice :)

Its just I haven't got anyone here that I can rant about this with :( Hubby couldn't care less, non of my friends are going now (well one is, but she's not as robsessed as me), so I am afraid you are all getting the brunt of my frustrations http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/e020.gif

dont blame you missus , im off to work now , hope you all get sorted out an then you can chill a bit before the gig , im sure rob will say something soon !!!!!

I see that the official website is telling everyone loud and clear now about the new advanced sales.....at last!

yeah - I think it appeared on my pc at about 10.30. Don't know when the sale actually started though ??

sorry to go on (especially as this doesnt apply to me) but it seems very, very wrong that people who have cancelled their original ticket allocation have been unable to get a second chance on the resale. Surely that was partly what we paid for with the subscription charge?

9.00am this morning.

They have also posted additional information about the concert....

Doors open 3.00pm
Ordinary Boys on stage 6.00pm
Basement Jaxx on stage 7.00pm
Robbie Williams on Stage 8.30 pm

bloody hell fire - I only had a reply already to my email. Granted they were asking what they wanted me to tell them (to which i have replied, nicely), but that was quick. I guess being polite did the trick :)

That is one of the very questions I asked them this morning http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif It is part of what the IS package offers http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a035.gif I have not used my IS allocation because I cancelled them, so http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a070.gif

I will be sending them an email tonight http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif it really isn't fair to have a go at the poor telephone operators who are just doing what they are told http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/d025.gif

Well stone the crows...i also got an email today...looks like all the complaining is getting things moving...
Hi,

Here's a message from Robbie Williams' management...

We would like to assure fans that we at RobbieWilliams.com are as disappointed as you are about the change of venue which is of course beyond our control.

We have tried to make the transition from Wembley to Milton Keynes as painless as possible for everyone concerned, given that we have had to move from a stadium to a greenfield site at such short notice.

Every effort has been made to accommodate Robbie’s fans. We can only apologise for this situation and hope that despite it all you enjoy the shows.

Many thanks for your continued patience however refunds are available on tickets purchased via the Inner Sanctum if the new arrangements make the change of venue impossible for you.

Hate to tell you this Sarah, but that is an automated response. I've seen this email before on other sites. still, I suppose it confirms they received your email.

i've yet to get a proper response to my proper questions, but I've gone off the boil a bit now :o

Better late then never I suppose http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a090.gif The email doesn't really say anything of importance nor address any of our concerns http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif It just pisses me off even more http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/c010.gif I just get the feeling that they think that we, the ''fans'' will just accept anything that they throw at us http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif

* I'm just having a rant* *I'll be fine tomorrow when I have had some sleep http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/muede/k030.gif *

have a good rant Mon, I've been doing it all day and I feel much better.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with it :o

I was just chuffed to have got any email from them...at least they know i am alive and kicking....lol

I never had an email from the IS, maybe because I already purchased a ticket from them maybe?

still haven't had the ticket sale email though. Don't suppose they'll bother now ??

from looking at other sites today, I don't think it makes a difference whether you have bought your tickets or not. Just seems to be pot luck whether you get one

Nah I didn't get one, I feel so left out:hug:

awww you can have mine..it was pants anyway....lol

Pot luck? :eek:

this gets worse..

OMG why will it be pot luck

ohhh pot luck if you get an email or not..i thought you meant ticket...please dont tell me you meant ticket...lol

ohhh pot luck if you get an email or not..i thought you meant ticket...please dont tell me you meant ticket...lol
LMAO:lol: I DONT THINK THE MEAN THE TICKET!!

lmao Sarah

Just been reading all this its make me really sad that there is soo much bad feeling (understandably of course). I am happy with my ticket (but not the venue) as I originally only got the cheapest tickets available. However, I did think that as an Inner Sanctum member we would ALL get a separate entrance but sadly not.

Hope its true re: Robbie doing a gig at the Millenium Stadium, just have to hope I could persuade hubby to go or find someone willing to travel with me (and of course get a ticket!)

I never had an email from the IS, maybe because I already purchased a ticket from them maybe?

Same here, I never received an e mail either, feel left out too! :confused:

just to clarify - I did mean pot luck about getting the emails :D

WOW!! I have just been reading all of this... I hope to God that this doesn't happen when the tickets go on sale for the Aussie shows...

@ Seznz - hopefully they will have learnt their lesson and got it sussed

I don't think anything will come of complaining about IC tickets, somehow. Loads of people are reregistering with the Inner Sanctum to get the inner circle tickets. The IS is going to be rolling in it now :(

Maybe they'll let us in the IS for free at renewal time :rofl:

Why are the selling more tickets for MK? I thought it was smaller than Wembley?

Why are the selling more tickets for MK? I thought it was smaller than Wembley?
so did i really confusing :confused:

MK Bowl is 65000 standing which I think is bigger capacity than Wembley

I dont think they sold the maximum capacity for wembley. Tom G said on his site that they had to cater for 300,000 fans, which works out at 60,000 for each of the 5 nights. MK capacity is 65,000. plus you will have all the returns, and I think there have been quite alot of them.

I am really sad now. they are selling Inner Circle tickets at Seetickets.com today.

I really don't understand the inner sanctum at all (and yet I'm still considering going to a concert that might not even happen. how stupid is that :( ).

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum,so a big hello.:)

Just wanted to say,i too cannot beleive that they are selling inner circle to the general public right now.Makes me so angry.

join the club. i really can't wait for the reply to my email -if I ever get one, that is :(

Yeah,i didn't recieve an email either.

Hi twinklz - welcome :) - it'd be great if you introduced yourself in the top forum :D

Ok,thanks shell will do.:)

i have complained to the fan club. the general admission tix i got from the inner sanctum will be the outer bowl area, basically the back. a work collegue today purchased an inner circle ticket for £50 basically the same price as the inner sanctum general admission tickets. the fan club basically said there is nothing they can do. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

i know it's not robbies fault but we paid £25 to be a member to receive exclusive benefits etc. they can shove it!

there are still inner circle tickets available. Makes me feel sick to be honest. I have never felt so disappointed or upset about something than I have about this.

I think they have had their fair share of complaints http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/g015.gif It just falls on deaf ears http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a035.gif Even though I could re-subscribe to IS using Mr M's name and email address and re-purchase tickets to MK, I would NEVER EVER do it as a matter of principle http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a030.gif

Just think of all the interest they have made on the money from tickets sold last year.........and I still have to wait an additional 28 days to receive a refund................. http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a040.gif

I could quite easily buy IC tickets now without having to resubscribe. But I honestly doubt I would be able to get rid of my original general admission ones. And unfortunately I can't go to more than one MK concert coz I have kids to consider, not to mention an unsypathetic husband.

Had I known these IC tickets were going to be made available, I would have seriously considered cancelling and obtaining a refund. But I guess the IS thought of this, which was why we only had a couple of weeks to cancel :mad:

I feel absolutely the same, I'm gutted, after spending a whole stressful day like many others in November purchasing tickets to find that they are on sale today for the inner cirlcle, just £4 more a ticket than I paid for GA south stand. I can't go to more than one mk either, thought about cancelling my original tickets and getting new IC ones today but to make matters worse the people I'm going with are quite happy with GA ones. :( :(
I know I'm still in for a treat, especially as Ive never seen Robbie live before, and I know I will still have a good time even if it is on top of a hill miles away, but I can't help feeling cheated.

exactly how I feel :(

I just checked all the ticket sites and there are still tickets available (including ic on some days) for Milton Keynes. Certainly didn't break any records today :(

Still tickets available today for ic. :mad:
I'm not going to renew my inner sanctum membership this year. Robbie's real fans are not looked after enough for me to warrant spending £25. I can get just as much info about him looking at good sites like these so who needs it.

yeah - I noticed tickets were still for sale, although Ticketmaster are all sold out (but they weren't selling IC tickets).

I don't know about the inner sanctum membership - I'm prepared to wait and see what happens up until renewal.

I can totally appriciate where you are coming from with this.

The day the tickets first went on sale was manic, thousands of die hard fans fighting to buy the best seats.

Me and Sarah couldnt get good seats but we were happy where we were.. afterall we'd given it a damn good go and it was fair - first come/first served..

Then we discover there's better,great tickets still avaliabale due to this farce and it is sickening - we can't go buy 3 more tickets, because we know we'd have one hell of a job selling our old ones..

V unfair.

I was just so glad to get tickets in the first place. I felt quite pleased with myself that i'ld actually made it through that stressfull day in November on the internet and must admit did feel kind of special because I got them through the inner sanctum, like being part of the elite :cool:
I wonder if Robbie really knows how upset some of his fans are with the way things have been handled.

yeah- its the getting rid of the old ones that stops me from getting IC tickets, which are still available for Thursday. But I looked on ebay yesterday and there was an almighty slump, lots of tickets not reaching their reserve, etc.

If the resale tickets all sell out it would be different, but to be honest I cant see that happening. I don't think the management appreciate quite how many people wanted seats and that was the reason they were going to Wembley. Rob has a lot of older fans. two of the tickets I had to sell were originally for a friends Mum and her sister, and whilst they were quite happy to sit in the sky (they were top tier) they were not prepared to stand in a field. It is a huge difference.

thats why I hope the rumour about Cardiff is true. But the worry is, if it really was on the cards, would he bother if Milton Keynes fails to sell-out??

I've noticed there has been no mention at all about Wembley/milton keynes on any of the recent interviews he's done. Do you think they have all been told that is a taboo subject?

I can't see him cancelling Milton Keynes- that would be the nail in the coffin for alot of subscribers (the majority of IS subscribers wanted wembley)

Plus the media and critics would have a (excuse the pun) field day!

He wouldn't let down thousands of fans through low ticket sales..would he?

Oh most definatly.

I was surprised howclose he came to the line on the Chris Evans show.. congratulating The Gorrilaz website for winning site of the year when his is recieving so much criticism from his die hard fans...

I didn't mean would they cancel milton keynes. I meant would he arrange to do another concert after Milton Keynes (such as the rumour of Cardiff and Manchester) if MK hasnt sold out.

does that make sense - i know what I mean but I don't think my brain has woken up yet !!

I've edited this, coz I re-read it and it didn't make sense :o

lol sorry, i misread it. They couldnt relocate again surely though.. plus MK was obviously picked for its closeness to London due to peoples accomodation and travel plans..

no, I dont think they would dare relocate again - there'd be a ruddy war :eek:

the tickets are going slowly - no IC tickets for thursday anymore, so I think they probably will sell out eventually. Just not a record-breaker this time ;)

I do still feel sorry for the people who wanted a seat though. I am sure Leeds was standing only, which only leaves Glasgow for anyone that didn't want to be crushed in a crowd, and of course that sold out long ago. This is why I am still holding on to my dream that he will announce another venue - one with seats.

Yep I am holding on to the hope that he will announce a new venue. I booked seats and am disappointed about MK. I would gladly give those tickets up if it meant I could see him in a Stadium, even if it means travelling to Cardiff.

I have just read through the whole of this thread and i felt compelled to reply i have never posted before.....i really feel for all you guys who are not happy with your tickets. I am going to see Rob in Leeds in September and got my tickets through the IS. I have previously seen him at Milton Keynes and at Knebworth and didn't get anywhere near as close as I would have liked so I plan to camp out at Leeds the night before and get to the front and stay there!! Would have loved to get IC tickets though. Maybe they should let all the IS subscribers into the Inner Circle if they are wearing their limited edition "members only" t-shirts??? Which, i may add i have seen a couple of for sale on eBay, so that wouldn't be fair either.

Anyway, i hope you all enjoy him wherever you end up, i know i will!! :lr:

I have to confess, my excitement has been renewed. Hubby's niece (who is getting married on 16.9) was here last night, and was gutted that I had sold my last ticket for Rob on the thursday. checked the ticket availability and managed to get two more tickets for thursday (she rang her mate at 12 midnight to get her to go). She was soo soooo excited that it was infectious. So there will now be 4 highly exciteable, not very tall essex gals on a slope at MK - and we are going to love it :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Okay I know it's a new week and ''we' have to move on but this has got me all wound up again :morph: That is exactly what I asked in my letter:confused: Why weren't we given the opportunity to upgrade our GA tickets:confused:

yep - that was the other question i asked in my email. Surely It would have been easy enough to do??

i am kinda getting over the whole farse this has turned out to be for my IS icket for the 15th. there will be 8 of us girlies, all in a deorated mini bus, drinking and having a great girly day, i'm sure even if mr williams is a dot on the horizon and will only be able to see him via a big screen i will have a good time.

i am after all going on the tuesday 19th too, with my mum, who is in a wheel chair, i booked a disbaled parking space at wembley, which i got refunded, but get this, the bowl you cannot pre book!!! the car park opens at 9.00am and i just have to hope that by the time i get there say 5.00pm, there will be a disabled parking space available!!!! nice customer servcie eh! i was told basically it's tough! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :shock:

i am so peeded off, part of me doesn't want to go at the moment, still it's 116 days so i'm sure by then i'll cheer up a bit. and for the record i won't be renewing my IS subscription, they can swivle!!!!

I have a feeling it wont be subscription next time. People mostly subscribed to get the pre-sale tickets (whether the IS like that or not, its true). No tour next year to get tickets for, so unless they are planning something spectacular, I can't see them getting many takers.

Just wondering if anybody else is still to receive there innersanctum tickets for this gig?

Getting annoyed and worried that there still not through yet incase they dont arrive :(

Anybody help please?

some people are still waiting for their Vienna tickets, so I am not sure when the Hampden Park ones will be sent out.

They really are cutting it fine though :mad:

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c025.gif Shamish I am going to the gig in Vienna in Austria next week and we only received the tickets this week :( The same applied for the concerts I went to in Brussels and Amsterdam http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c028.gif So need to panic just yet, but I do suggest that you send them an email as a 'gentle' reminder http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/d025.gif

Thanks i've sent several and phoned several times getting fed up of the wait :(

The last time we booked through ticketmaster though was disabled tickets and got very quick this time it's taking forever :(

There probably cutting it short to stop touts.

I just hope they get here in time as we moved house recently and it took forever for them to change our adderess so hopfully fingers crossed they'll be here somtime this week :)

They have been saying would send 4 weeks before it's now 3 weeks until the gig :(

my friend hasn't had our inner sanctum tickets for glasgow yet, dont worry

I've been asking around and it does seem to be 12-7 days pre-concert that the tickets are being recieved.

Hopefully this will be the case with you too.

Good luck :)

Just received this mail.

Cutting it short :(
