WHO WAS RIPPED OFF BUYING VIP TIX??..POST HERE

eye was ripped off big time buying vip tix....eye got a few floor seats 4 31.21 N with the difference between vip N reg tix eye could have paid some bills etc..makes me sad that we were decieved by the promoters N this very shabby fashion.
looks like were just getting 3 free drinks at the white bar with a dj and finger food like cheese on sticks....what a sham....eye was expecting a soundcheck N aftershow thrown N with front row seats..this disgusts me 4 all the hard earned cash eye spent.

Hi
I got vip ticks for the 31th show
I live outside europe so i will get my tickets only at the box office
Guess i wont know if i got ripped off or not untill the last minute,
And this is f****ing shame, for the only reason i got those VIP tickets is to be sure i get decent seats.
Hope to be lucky, and mad that i still need luck after the amount of money i paid.
best regards

Why would you spend so much money when you don't even know what you are spending it on..no one mentioned soundchecks or aftershows even in the initial advertisement. Stop using those Princey "eye" things, it makes it damn hard to read.

sounds like u will just have 2 wait n c what ya get my friend....if i could get a refund i would cause i feel cheated so badly this time round with the so called vip tix....at the time when i booked the vip there were no other tix on sale Xcept these n i wanted to treat myself to what i hoped would b a fantastic Xperience....well once bitten twice shy....

i really got screwed twice after i cannot play all my npgmc downloads as the drm licence cannot be renewed as the link is down....just wish this server was on 3121 4 all the folx who cannot play there music and vids that we bought but can no longer use...this might just be the last time i spend big money on prince....he knows whats going on yet ticketmaster r playing games with the fans as when i ordered my vip tix it clearly stated that there was a complimentary bar as well as front row tix 4 the first 10 rows...said nothing about the lower tier until later.

i thought that he would give us the added surprise of a soundcheck n free access 2 the aftershow...for the money we paid this would then be justified.
we all love prince and the music however we want value 4 our money and 2 b honest a few cocktail sausages n 3 free beers just is not what i call being vip.
with the white bar Xperience i think it will only cost them approx 20 quid per person and does not justify the big money they were asking....perhaps the band might be mixing with the guests b4 the performance r something along those lines.

if u purchased tix at the start when the vip tix were advertised as "the very best floor seats within the first 10 rows" and it said "general admission" on the booking reference, and this was before they were changed to say "within first 10 rows on the floor or lower tier", and you didn't receive floor tix within the first 10 rows - ie. ANY tier seats or seats 11 row or more back, you are within your statutory consumer rights to obtain a refund under the sale of goods act 1994

in order to do this, you need to contact TM to request a refund as the tickets provided differ from those as advertised as point of purchase. if the initial customer service person can't/won't arrange this, tell them thanks for thier help, but you will need to speak to someone who can arrange this for you if they cant help

when you call, note the date and time of call, and obtain the full name and job title of the person you are speaking to (always do this with any problematic CS calls whatever the reason or subject - ie. not just with TM), and if they offer to transer you to a supervisor, ask them to tell you the full name and job title of the person you are being transfered to, and thier direct dial and email address in case you are disconnected. they wont like to give you this, but upon asking they will see you are serious

if the supervisor says they have to refer it to an accounts manager, ask for the name of the accounts manager they are referring to, and the direct dial number and email address, and then ask to speak to that person. if they refuse to do this, tell them you want the name and job title of that persons line manger. they wont want to give you this either, but persist. this shows you know what you are doing and they are less lkely to muck you about

if they say they will return a call, ask the timeframe. if you arent happy with that timeframe, tell them. ie. if they say they will call in 4 hours, tell them you arent satisfied with that, and you want a call back in one hour (ie. comprise so it's 2 hours), and you want an explanation as to why a large orgnisation like TM can't arrange your legal right to a refund automatically, or call you back within one hour

if they don't call back in the given timeframe, give them one extra hour and call back

if you aren't getting lucky, call the trading standards in westminster (google i t up) and ask them to deal with your case on your behalf, and provide them with full details including the names and job titles and contact details of all the people you have spoke to. you should then seperately contact your local citizens advice buro and ask them to do the same

you have a legal right to a refund if you got tier seats and you purchased when advertised as floor seats, and the above decribes the legal method for doing so

please be polite and calm, and thank them at all times when calling. TM aren't specifically to blame as they are only the sales middle men for AEG, so don't express anger to them or they won't be so happy to help you

thanx 4 posting...
i bought 14 main concert tix which includes the vip Xperience and 7 aftershow tix,,,,ive spent a 4tune...i know im mad but i just love the music with a passion.
when i bought the vip ticket it was the night of the first day the sale 2 the general public went on sale and clearly did not say anything about tiered seating....the vip Xperience is 4 the 1st sept and ive not recieved the tix yet.
after reading the threads of some fams where they got shite vip tickets i am going mad reading the bad Xperience of what there package consists of and i reckon anyone who does not get front row seating will feel extremly hard done by and cheated out of hard earned money.

its a question of if prince will stand by and let the loyal fams get Xploited.
if he does nothing 2 correct this then i feel like it might be the last time i support him.
i know im being silly as i love the man and the music...but its the fans who keep him in a 5 star lifestyle.
i hope i get a brilliant seat as the confirmation is GA1 seat under 50...wont say the seat number 4 obvious reasons....but u get my drift...and i rang ticketmaster n they cant tell me exactly where i will be seated until there allocated!!!!!

i thought GA1 was meant 2 mean gold and A1 was front row as in the seating chart!!!!
its pure madness that we were not given an allocated seat b4 we paid 4 the ticket as this is the case when u book the standard seating.
if i do get rubbish seats i will be furious and ive no doubt that i will be making a formal complaint to watchdog as well as 2 AEG at the concert itself...hopefully it wont come 2 this..im totally regreting buying the vip ticket now.
i just took a gamble so its like doing the lottery.
peace,

what nite do u have vip tix? have u checked online at TM to see if the tix r allocated yet? on tuesdays u will prolly have good seats, saturdays then fridays r the most popular dates as are the first and last nites. it sounds like u arent going vip on the first nite, so you may get tix in the expected area. i'd call TM if they aren't allocated and ask them to call u back within 24 hours to advise where you would be seated, and advise them you want a refund if you don't get seats on the floor

howeve, they could give you crap seats on the floor in the F1 area at the back of the drummer

as you can see above i have had 2 edit....lol...just came home from the pub.
i checked my ticketmaster and said not yet dispatched....and i rang ticketmaster the other day and they told me i have 2 wait n c what tix i get as they dont have that info.
its a joke....but im not that only fam that got screwed...im just cheesed off cause were not getting sondcheck n free aftershow....in fact i had 2 purchase an aftershow ticket 4 the vip day sept 1st (sat) just 2 really make the day special 4 me as im sure there will be great jam at the afershow with the band.
u only live once but i tell u that 3 free drinks and finger food is NOT vip and the least they could do is honour the original statement when i bought the tix and have a free bar where i could drink spirits as i dont really drink beer r wine.
i like a whiskey or vodka n orange, bacardi n coke etc...its a joke!!!
prince is going 2 have a lot of unhappy ppl who paid this big money 2 later find front row seats 4 31.21....i got the password n have those floor seats..well there F1 n F3 seats....lol..but 4 31,21 im happy with that.

Ticketmaster are breaking their contract terms and conditions with you if you are not with 10 rows of the stage on the floor, so I would contact them, the original advert stated 'Are the very best seats within the first 10 rows around the stage'

This is clearly not the case for you, so I would contact ticketmaster and demand a change of seat to within 10 rows of the stage on the floor, as advertised, I have done this myself and proven to them their original advert stated this, ticketmaster contacted the event organiser, who has promised me in writing I will have VIP tickets within 10 rows of the stage on the floor seating area.

I never expected anything more than the tickets within 10 rows of the stage when I purchased VIP package, when I was on ticketmaster website as soon as tickets went on sale, the only thing that was available were the VIP tickets, due to work commitments I could only make a few nights, so I went for 2 * VIP on the nights I could make it, the pre-drinks etc I cannot attend anyways, so I'm going straight to my seat, I've also bought aftershow tickets, I was hoping VIP might get entry to the aftershow, I think they are really milking the fans for every £, as anyone who buys VIP is also gonna buy aftershow ticket, for £235 they should have thrown them in, would have sweetened the pill abit when you see good tickets for sale at £31.21 months later on Ticketmaster !!!

I also think the mystique of the aftershow has been wiped out by selling the tickets, they used to be one-off's, you got entry by being given tickets, selling 2,500 tickets is not gonna be the same as the aftershows of 88, last time I saw Prince at the Apollo in 2003, that was probably less that 2,500 fans, so its not gonna be intimate and i'll be shocked if he plays, i'm just taking a gamble he may !

Good luck.

thanks,
i replied 2 ur other post " gotta get this off my chest" thread...
could u post the original proof here that u gave ticketmaster??
i dont know if i will need it as i dont know where im being seated yet.
all i know its GA1 seat under 50...so hopefully thats good...who knows??
we r being milked like a cash cow...im from southern ireland n i am flying over several times as well as Xpenses...its costing me over 2 grand and i think it will be worth seeing 14 main shows and 7 aftershows with the vip being 1 of the 14.
i just think the shows will be amazing as he is doing the old hits 4 the last time and the man is getting old...his shows have become dull since the early 90s as he cant dance and do the splits etc...plus i loved all the funky old stuff like get off and sexy mf..jack u off...head...etc....lol....i do love the music n he does not tour the british isles that often anymore.
if i meet ya we can have a beer n a chat.

I never expected anything more than the tickets within 10 rows of the stage when I purchased VIP package, when I was on ticketmaster website as soon as tickets went on sale, the only thing that was available were the VIP tickets, due to work commitments I could only make a few nights, so I went for 2 * VIP on the nights I could make it, the pre-drinks etc I cannot attend anyways, so I'm going straight to my seat, I've also bought aftershow tickets, I was hoping VIP might get entry to the aftershow, I think they are really milking the fans for every £, as anyone who buys VIP is also gonna buy aftershow ticket, for £235 they should have thrown them in, would have sweetened the pill abit when you see good tickets for sale at £31.21 months later on Ticketmaster !!!

I also think the mystique of the aftershow has been wiped out by selling the tickets, they used to be one-off's, you got entry by being given tickets, selling 2,500 tickets is not gonna be the same as the aftershows of 88, last time I saw Prince at the Apollo in 2003, that was probably less that 2,500 fans, so its not gonna be intimate and i'll be shocked if he plays, i'm just taking a gamble he may !

Good luck.



the OP still hasn't been allocated seats yet, so he may still get seating in the advertised area

if you don't, then you don't have to accept a replacement, you are within your rights to obtain a refund

i opted for that rather than replacement as i have npgmc seats in F1 on other nites, so instead i'll await and see how good vip is and make my mind up later if i want to upgrade on another nite that will give the best vip seats (ie. a less popular nite)

the appollo was 4,000 capacity, so the aftershow in this case is half the size of the appollo, which is still pretty large

thanks,
i replied 2 ur other post " gotta get this off my chest" thread...
could u post the original proof here that u gave ticketmaster??
i dont know if i will need it as i dont know where im being seated yet.
all i know its GA1 seat under 50...so hopefully thats good...who knows??
we r being milked like a cash cow...im from southern ireland n i am flying over several times as well as Xpenses...its costing me over 2 grand and i think it will be worth seeing 14 main shows and 7 aftershows with the vip being 1 of the 14.
i just think the shows will be amazing as he is doing the old hits 4 the last time and the man is getting old...his shows have become dull since the early 90s as he cant dance and do the splits etc...plus i loved all the funky old stuff like get off and sexy mf..jack u off...head...etc....lol....i do love the music n he does not tour the british isles that often anymore.
if i meet ya we can have a beer n a chat.

Hi Wolfy

I go back to the days in 86, my first parade tour gigs, then opening night in Paris Bercy 88 with the 'Revolution' fan club in Leeds, then I went to Minneapolis in 1991 with the controversy club, seen the tours all over europe, so seeing how fans who have followed him for 20 odd years being ripped off really pisses me off, I met him and Sheila outside the Wembley arena on the Lovesexy tour when he turned up for a sound check, he gave me a rose, said 'love god', next time I meet him, I will return the compliment thorns first where the sun don't shine eek

Not sure who approves the ads, email me at ecnirp98@yahoo.com and I can email you the ad direct.

I managed to get to an aftershow in 88, was awesome, got tickets from Chris in the revolution fan club, Prince didn't need to sell them off for £25 .....

hey man dont be rude.
who said i was rich???
im just lucky 2 have 2 credit cards which have taken the brunch of all the gigs im going 2 at the 02.
im in ireland and with the euro vs sterling Xchange rate i have taken a further bashing 2 my bank balance.
this is my birthday and xmas present 2 myself this year.


when i went 2 buy tickets the first day they went on sale there was only VIP on sale as it claimed the other seats were no longer available thus making the fams think the gigs sold out fast.
thats why i bought the VIP as i really thought that i would get front row seat and possible hidden extras such as soundcheck access and aftershow 4 free.

trust me,,,,if my VIP ticket is not up 2 my Xpectation then it will be the last time i travel 2 c prince 4 a long time 2 come...perhaps this will be my last time seeing him in concert if he screws me and the other fams who paid a 4tune 4 shite tix n a few drinks with cheese on sticks!!!!!

at the end of the day prince is the one who is going 2 lose out 4 screwing the real fams who already got screwed with closure of the NPGMC and all the folx who spent a 4tune who bought downloads n can no longer play there music that we paid 4 and 2 which we own.
if someone sold u a car with a licence 2 drive it and then u still own the car yet the licence is gone what u paid 4 and u cannot drive the car anymore...follow what im saying.....
we paid 4 the downloads n now we cannot play cause the licence cannot be verified cause the DRM link is gone!!!!!
thats THEFT in my eyes and if we get shite seats 4 over 200 quid then thats THEFT also.
no question about it.
i will just wait n see what seat i get and take some action about it.

OK, while i agree that the way tix were released was shady and at times misleading to the point people bought VIP tix due to no other choice, some of what you are moaning about makes no sense. I don't know when you bought the VIP tickets, but it did NOT guarantee front row AT ANY TIME! And after the first day it was quite clear in that the seat was in the Gold Circle, which is on the floor OR 1st 10 rows of lower side view tiers. Now, if you did not get one of those you are within your rights to complain about that. I would too. IF you got row 10 lower, you can grumble about bad luck, but not complain that you did not get what you paid for.

Also, why did you expect a soundcheck or pre-show? It has never indicated that. It's completely unrealistic to make up what you think should be included and complain when it is not there, especially when what was included was always pretty clear.

Taking it out on Prince by stating you won't come back to shows would only deprive you of a good concert. He is busy getting his show ready, not spending time wondering where every individual is sitting. Imagine him saying, sorry no rehearsals, I gotta sort out where this wolf hound from Ireland is sitting along with 20,000 other people! His only obligation is to put on a good show. AEG pay him to do that and ultimately that's what the fans want. Then AEG have to find a way to sell tickets for the show otherwise they will be out of pocket not Prince. I absolutely agree that AEG have done this in ways most frustrating to the fans and quite devious too.

You then totally change topic on to the downloads topic. I suspect Prince does not even realise the implications of the licences for existing downloads. At the time he releasd these songs and videos in 2004, people were using WiMP 9 or 10 which allowed backing up of licences. Problem is with WMP 11 in which Microsoft has taken this essential feature out. You can always burn the audio on to audio CD, though I know this is not possible with the videos. There are at least 2 other threads on this topic here: -
http://prince.org/msg/7/235971
http://prince.org/msg/13/232362

HOWEVER, note that the 3121 download of the original version of "guitar" had no DRM, so perhaps that's a good sign for any future downloads.

i said we were decieved by the promoters if u go back and look...AEG were hired by prince to sell the tickets yet this does revert back 2 prince as if he really cared about the fams he would have instructed that the NPGMC seats presale would have been sold with the best seats instead of waiting for the real fams who were scared of a sell out being forced 2 buy VIP as when i bought my VIP there were no upper tier or lower tier available which was the first day they went on sale.

folx who bought VIP on the first day they went on sale were told there were no other tickets available!!!!
what a shambles as 4 me personaly i could have saved over 200 quid and bought a great lower tier ticket for 31.21 4 the same show.

this is a scam and we fell 4 it.
i have 13 other seats for other main shows that i later paid 31.21...i have fanclub tickets also which i was lucky 2 get a password 2 purchase and i managed 2 get great lower tier seats when i Xchanged from uppertier...i was still caught with 2 uppertier tickets as they were already printed when i called.

i love prince and the music just as much as we all do here so im not here as a prince hater cause im far from it my good friend having spent thousands on the music and going 2 his gigs down through the years.

i just feel like we were screwed by AEG big time and that the event planners should have put more thought in2 what was going on.
prince is a control freak and he knows Xactly what is going on here.

as 4 the downloads debate i just added that here as 2 put my point that when it comes 2 prince the ppl in his camp have messed up time n time again.
it does not matter if he releases future downloads without DRM as i will not purchase them until i can get the music i already have paid 4 and i bought every download there was from the NPGMC.
i was never a fan of DRM but i agreed 2 buy from prince as i trusted him as we had agreed a lifetime fee of 25 quid.

as 4 ur comment about him taking time out 2 sort out where i will be seated is a bit ridiculous.
however im a believer in free speech..u dont know me as i dont know u.

if u were decieved in2 buying a VIP tix then u would be cheesed off.
i know there was no soundcheck r aftershow advertised when i bought the tix however i just hoped it would be a hidden Xtra 4 the loyal fams and when i heard of 3 free drinks and finger food 4 that £££ it made me sick.
also when i purchased my VIP tix it was then advertised as the best seats within 10 rows of the front row with a complimentary bar.

this was all later changed by ticketmaster so i just hope i get a great ticket for my money or else i will be taking it further.

there r a lot of fams who were ultimatly decieved by AEG and are not happy bunnies like the wolfster.

slainte,
WOLFY razz

You know, after all the dust's settled i'm still happy with the VIP tickets I got. I may not be in the floor area and yeah Ticketmaster could've done it in a better way...I think once we've been to the show we won't care about the cost as we'll have been truly entertained. It won't seem half as bad a deal once it's all over.

I'm happy just to get a chance to see Prince here in my home town when just a few months ago I was weighing up the costs of flying to Las Vegas!! We can count our blessings and i'll be one amongst thousands enjoying every minute headbang

im glad u feel that way where prince is playing near where u live.
i 2 was contemplating 2 go 2 vegas 2 c him during the early part of the year.
i dont really care about the ££££..i dont mind paying 4 quality and good service but what i feel bad about is the fact we were deceived in the way we were sold tickets at the start when most of his fanbase would have snapped up whatever tix they could get.
4 me im flying over from ireland several times 2 see him at the 02 and i also have 2 pay 4 accomodation as well as food drink etc.
i could have saved just over 200 with a 31.21 ticket 4 the same show im paying VIP 4 and the fact were not getting bang 4 r buck makes me cringe 2 the core.

its ok 4 prince being a multi millionaire however some of us have families and bills 2 pay ...IM NOT RICH PRINCE....and we could do without being ripped off and scamed by AEG/prince/TM.

therers a lot of things i could have done with the money i would have saved as i didnt want 2 buy a VIP ticket in the first place ....only that i had 2 as there were no upper r lower tiers being advertised.
if i am offered a shite VIP seat then i can assure AEG that they will never get my business again and the same goes 4 prince as he hired AEG 2 promote the show 4 him.
us fams deserve some respect and decency when it comes 2 selling tix.
anyone who bought VIP was basically doing the lottery 4 great seats and who decides who gets what is very underhand and shady dealings as i have heard ticket brokers got great blocks 2 sell as promotions and gimmicks.
makes me sad that us true hardcore fams have been let down by our musical hero.
i guess we just have 2 get on with things and see how the VIP Xperience goes but i would imagine that when the gigs r over prince will have lost many long time fams who were treated like cash cows with no respect.

this might be a good idea 2 all those who got ripped off with the VIP tix like me,
i have decided 2 get my own back on AEG which is quite simple and that is 2 keep the drinks i consume at the 02 2 a minimum and 2 have my dinner in the city b4 i travel out and 2 bycott all the official merchandise eg tourbook...t shirts and even the 3121 perfume that i was gonna buy a few bottles of 4 friends and family as xmas gifts.
so therefore prince and AEG have lost out on profits that r almost Xpected by every fam that attends the gigs.
as we all know that overpriced merchandise is a great money spinner 2 the artist.

its my way of saying thanks 2 prince/AEG/TM 4 screwing me out of an extra 200 quid 4 the privilage of eating cheap finger food and 3 free drinks which i will doubt will even consist of spirits.

theres going 2 be plenty pissed off fams like me who got done like a kipper.

the wine better be pretty good 4 that price.

Hi Wolfy

I like that idea, think i'll join ya and not line their pockets anymore ..... also might write 'Slave' on my cheeks as Prince did in the early 90's when he thought Warners were exploiting him, as I think the VIP tickets are exploiting the fans, be funny if we all turned up in VIP seats with Slave written on our faces, that'd spook him when he looks out from the stage !!!

yeah thats true but we could get kicked out by trevor 4 offending him....lol.
bycotting the Xpensive goodies 4 sale is my way of doing it as i wont be caught again and after talking 2 friends they were also disgusted how an artist can treat there fans with utter contempt.
me thinks that this will be my last time seeing mr nelson in concert 4 the 4seeable future.
might not be such a bad thing as it will take me over a year 2 pay off all this added debt that i have spent on supporting the wee purple one.

i hope prince does get some sence and learns that he cannot treat his fans like this...the aftershows should be good fun as i love mixing with the real fams.

eye was ripped off big time buying vip tix....eye got a few floor seats 4 31.21 N with the difference between vip N reg tix eye could have paid some bills etc..makes me sad that we were decieved by the promoters N this very shabby fashion.
looks like were just getting 3 free drinks at the white bar with a dj and finger food like cheese on sticks....what a sham....eye was expecting a soundcheck N aftershow thrown N with front row seats..this disgusts me 4 all the hard earned cash eye spent.

post here 2 show ur thoughts and views,,,

peace,
