Absolutely furious, gutted and depressed

Hey all,

Well just like so many of you I did the ticketmaster hour long wait on the phone to get my original tickets, booked flights and hotel for two of us, organised my son, my dog while we were away, took time off work.....
And then the blow yesterday when ticketmaster called to say it was cancelled and refunds would be given. Refunds will not be given for our flights, hotel is charging a cancellation fee...will Prince care...No!
One thing I would say is don't get down that you might lose out on tickets bought on Ebay. We also bought Gold Circle tickets on Ebay and I had an email from the girl I got them from today to say she is sending me my refund of £250.00 by cheque. Not everyone is out there to rip you off. This is so so disappointing and at such short notice. Thousands of us are left with holes in our wallets cos we can't recalim all that is spent. We thought about going to Dublin anyway but would rather save the money for something else - another Prince ticket?? I'd love to say no but if something comes up in the future I know I'll be one of the first phoning for tickets. Do we ever learn!!! I feel for everyone who feels as let down as me. Make the most of next Monday anyway all of you!!

You should still come to Dublin. many are. The person on eBay who I got my gold circle ticket from is going to refund me too. less the eBay insertion charges. So I am happy with him. He could have ignored my email.

So looks like I will be Purple Raining on mon in Sin and then I ma having my Stag night on tuesday night.

Bring it on. lol lol lol
Looking for a new man. Freaks need not apply. Freeeks can tho ;-p

I just have to say being an ebayer myself, if you do not get your ebay refund you should contact paypal or your credit card service to get it.

To everyone who is at a loss... I am sorry. I don't know how this could have happened... 55000 tickets refunded.. that's a lot of angry people..
eek

sad

I am gutted to but also agree that I to will be one of the first to by tickets next time. To tell the truth we have been really lucky as we only lost money on our air fairs. We decided not to go as we were going to have to take the kids out of school for two days but I do hope every one that is going has a great time.
