I compensated myself by letting other fans on Prince.org have my last night aftershow and main show tickets - didn't make any money but got compensated by the sheer joy of the other fans being able to go to the shows - money isn't everything

thats sweet....
WOLFY

irishwolfhound said:

sweet and stupid!

thats exactly the sort of self richeousness and do gooders on here which gave me even greater pleasure from selling the tkts...

chris1bmf said:

So, let me get this straight. You are ripped off by Ticketmaster/AEG and to reap your revenge on them you in turn rip off loads more people. Nice work. Thanks god the world isn't full of people like you. Your bitterness is very sad.

DrEverything said:

i didn't force anyone to buy the tkts.. I was happy with the money they were very happy witht he great night they had and what neither of us need is people like you telling us what to to in our lives.

THANK GOD THE WORLD ISN'T FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU

So you sold your tickets at face value?

DrEverything said:

no but i don't see how that makes me a bad person...

Why didn't you sell them on here at face value? Then everyone is happy. You area as bad as AEG. As i said earlier, they ripped you off and you had no qualms in ripping other people off. IMO it is disgusting that you are bragging on here of all places about how you made a packet on tickets.

chris1bmf said:

Not a do gooder (well perhaps I am) but I could name loads of people on prince.org who did exactly the same as me and for the same reason - I am very happy with my decision and know that the people who had my tickets had a great evening - just as I did

chris1bmf said:

No, it makes you a ticket tout

One lower than pond life

If you hadn't bought more tickets than you needed, genuine fans would have been able to buy them at face value

The bottom line is you felt ripped off by AEG/Ticketmaster and got your compensation from genuine Prince fans

You must be so proud

Having thought about it, I can understand why you were cross. I managed to secure a further VIP night from AEG and can tell you I was treated like a VIP. I was very very upset when I went to the original VIP evening because there was absolutely nothing for the money I had paid. Had you contacted AEG they may have been happy to help - I didn't want a refund just wanted to go to another show and put the first VIP evening behind me. The tour is now over and I know how much I enjoyed it - hope the VIP issue did not spoil it entirely for you.

What was the problem here? The fact that the views from some of the 'VIP' seats was crap or that you didn't get anything worthwhile for the extra money paid?

surely you buy vip for the seat not the nibbles and house wine?

jeez i saw madonna a few years ago and that cost 250 for a regular seat by the side of the stage with a restricted view.

I dont really think anyone can complain about Prince tix.

I was in F3 on the last nigt and the views were fine, anyhow you go to party dont you? not stare at Prince thats what vides are for!!!



you spends yer money and all that. You made the decision to pay out for vip with scant details or actual seat allocation - im not endorsing this practise but i think with alot of Prince things they are a bit off the cuff and not too well pre-planned, i think they evolve!!

spud:.. apologies and respect to you for doing what you did.. its not something i did but i do admire you for it... the last gig was amazing from my seat in C2.. hope u enjoyed it.

Dr Everything: I did not sell them for face value because after being ripped off by tkt master My financial needs are far more important then abiding my the moral code some orgers have decided to go by... why is that so difficult to understand? and the fact that it disgusts you how i brag about getting back the money i lost says it all about you... get this straight my tickets.. my decision.. the buyers got everything I promised and were happy

Markland: again. I'll buy as many tkts as i want and sell them for what ppl are willing to pay... to make up for the money tkt master screwed outta me...I am very proud of how i made my money back and the fact that you will call me 'pond life'(?!) tells me.. why you are ashamed of me.. u r not worth worrying about!

dark horse/ syble.. Its all about the seat location for me..
the £235 seat was rubbish so i had no choice to e bay it when it became clear i would not get a refund and i was lucky enough to get better seats.... when a few tkts were released... and hell yeahe!!. I'lll never buy another tkts without knowing the seat location again!

When the VIP tickets were first advertised, as a BIG Prince fan and with my husband's blessing, I booked two tickets thinking they would be special. There is no doubt AEG got it wrong at the onset but then realised when they got so many complaints, they tried to help people by offering replacement VIP evenings and for some people refunds. I was happy with my replacement tickets and did have a GREAT evening. Sadly, it was a very big problem, let's hope they have learned from their mistakes, which I'm sure they will. It was a great seven weeks and two days and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though my bank account is now well and truly depleted!!!

spud80 said:

Thanks for the explanation, I gather they just weren't very good seats? I must say I was tempted to buy those a couple of times but when you couldn't tell exactly where the seats were (originally - although with later ones they did tell you) I refrained. I must say that the seats in the auctions were good, in fact the 'Front Row Lower Tier' seats were in some cases better than the Front Tier Floor'. Sorry you had such trouble but glad it got sorted (to a degree), I suppose the main thing was that you had a blast going to the shows - I certainly did! I know what you mean about the depleted bank balance as well, it was so worth it though

chris1bmf said:

Errr....surely if you had sold the tickets at face value your financial needs would have been catered for? Believe me, I do understand, you set out to rip off loads of Prince fans and succeeded. Well done. I hope you feel good.Not quite sure what you are trying to say about my disgust at your greedy outlook on life and what it says about me? You've lost me on that one.

chris1bmf said:

Tickets that you dont need except to make money out of real fans

You are a ticket tout nothing more, absolute scum

I couldn't sett the E1 block for face vaip value as no one else was willing to pay £474 for to tktts on E1 so I sold them for £315...

I had to make up the rest by selling the aftershow for £280! Obviously you do not understand mum!

but if this makes you really unhappy and disgusted.. you are missing something in your life that you need to focuse so much energy on me.. get a hobbie.. take up fishing or something..

Markland.. is that the best you have 'scum'?... I love those real intelligent arguements!!.. I did nothing wrong and made some money got to too great gigd (7th aug / 21st sept) had a great time and I am so so so happy about it.. and the fact that it annoys self righteous fools like you 2 makes the whole experience even better!..

bring on the next set of name calling come on..

pondlife? .. scum?... (

i hope the police don't take me away for my heinous crimes!!

chris1bmf said:

Think you need to focus your energy on writing a coherent sentence

DrEverything said:

have you finished being the ruler of the world then.... now its attacking my grammar... you are great!

DrEverything said:

Think this post is going from talking about the VIP fiasco to getting personal I sold some of my tickets on ebay because on the day of release, I was given crap tickets. I sold them at a £35.00 loss. Everyone who sold on ebay didn't make a profit and I couldn't get rid of them on prince.org because they were such bad seats.

Yes, I think this topic is becoming a bit personal now..
I'm not taking sides, but we live in a free world,so you may not agree with Chris's actions but they shouldn't be taken personally..
I was ripped off by AEG, same situation, now awaiting for a refund.Would I sell tickets on Ebay??Maybe yes, if I had the opportunity, I don't think this would make me a bad person..as long as I can sleep at night knowing that I didn't cause any damage or hurt anyone, I think it's fine. If there was a demand for Prince tickets.. why not!!I had the opportunity to attend one of the concerts after buying my tickets on ebay, yes, I paid more than the face value, but I was happy with the transaction!!It's easy for someone to judge or being moral about this subject, but express your opinions without being judgemental!Take care.
