I have not seen Prince live for 15yrs and cant wait for the 3rd August but on the other hand feel a bit down hearted about how its been handled

When the shows were advertised as sold out I bought two tickets off ebay for slightly over the odds, block 104 at £52 a ticket, at the time I thought what the heck Ive only paid slightly over the odds but with all the last minute release of tickets etc

Now we are faced with a postal strike for two weeks from next Wednesday and ticketmaster dont seem to be doing anything to make sure the tickets are out before hand, plus once the tickets are despatched I then have to wait for the buyer to forward them onto myself (not worried as he has 100% feeback and has sold alot of tickets).

Am I being paranoid due to last minute excitement etc lol

Id shit myself.

If this strike actually happens, I would expect O2 to allow people to show their credit card and claim their tickets that way. I find it very hard to believe that they would just shrug their shoulders and say not their problem. As they're using Royal Mail to send out the tickets rather than another service (which they could do), IT IS their problem.

Thats ok if you bought your tickets through ticket master but not if you bought them off a certain auction site 3 month ago when it was claimed the concerts were sold out

The wife keeps me calm lol. spoke to the seller, his TM says tickets being processed for despatch so all being well they will turn up early part of next week, worst case I arrange to drive up to them and pick the tickets up by hand save them sending them through the post, only just over a hr away

I have checked on Ticketmaster and mine haven't been dispatched yet.

If you have bought some through eBay you could always ask the seller if there is a possiblity that they could use Fedex, DHL, TNT etc. My work lets us send stuff using DHL home and abroad then we just pay them back when the invoice comes in.

Not sure if my butterflies are nerves or excitement, it's getting closer

Seller emailed me today, TM have emailed him saying that tickets have been despatched so all being well by the middle of next week they should be in my possesion. Then I can finally relax and look forward to the concert and a weekend away
