Pit tickets for saturday and sunday 111 quid!!

Ah, but these tickets haven't been used.
If you go into a shop, pay full price for an item which they then reduce the price of a week later, as long as it's unused you get full refund.
You can then rebuy at the discounted rate.

I haven't used the tickets, so surely I should be able to phone TM, ask for a refund, then buy them at the new price?!??!

Well. You only have the *right* to do that if the item is faulty in some way.

The *only* reason shops accept refunds because "i got the same thing for christmas" or "it didn't look right on me" is because they want to keep your custom. They have no obligation to do that at all. It is a kindness.

Just as a note, it isn't ticketmaster choosing to lower prices - they are acting on instruction from the promoters (this reduction will have been driven by AEG). TM are just a conduit in the process.

Exactly - but you try and get a contact number for AEG!
It's pretty much impossible.....

So many companies like that, try to force you down the e-mail route that is far easier to ignore.

Ticketmaster now have £5 tickets in the lower tier for the 25th! wow, must be so undersold, pretty embarrassing really. Im chuffed though, got pit tics for £111..Cant wait!!

that is low..i hope jon doesnt find out coz it'll put him in a pissy mood ..and yea in the pit, gonna be ****ing amazing

Working for a bookies, I would disagree as its the same as when I have a punter back a horse at 5/1, and then later on it wins at 20/1 say. The price was the correct price at the time the bet was struck, that it quadrupled in price later was irrelevent.

The same with the prices, people were aware with what they were and it was personal discretion whether it was worth it or not. Although the late drops havent happened much in the past, this is what has caught people out. Previously we have all been used to having to log on at 9am on the day of sale and get the tickets or they sell out. Now, there is a bigger window of opportunity so we need to be aware with this next tour that day 1 sales are not the be all and end all. The concert ticket selling model has had to change somewhat with the changing times.

The same thing happened for Britney last year. Give it a week and every chance they'll drop out the better lower tier seats at this price as well.

Have £100 pit tickets appeared for the 25th or 26th yet at all?
