a rant coming

i got an email back in November saying I can buy my Bon Jovi tickets for 27/06/ ahead of the public by using a special code - that code was "summertime".

i have now recieved my tickets only to find that i am quite a way back from the stage. yet my mate who orederd tickets a day later using the code i gave him is practically a few feet away from the stage.

how on earth does this work out?

im a loyal fan, booked in advance and get shit seats - i rang up ticketmaster to complain and they couldnt give a **** as they have my money. I even offered to pay extra to upgrade - they wernt interested at all.

annoyingly if i were to book 2 tickets again (i did a dummy booking y'day) i could get higer up in the middle tier and closer to the stage. i just dont understand how this can be?

i feel well and truly ripped off.
i wont be "booking in advance" again.
