FakeEmpire Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 SeeTickets just seem overwhelmed with the amount of 'big gigs' they need to post tickets out for this month - Glastonbury, Stone Roses, Coldplay, Wildlife Fest etc. They're being bombarded on Twitter with "where are my tickets?" questions. Their stock response is 'they'll be sent out closer to the event, let us know if you don't have them 48 hours before'. I appreciate that they send tickets out closer to the events to try and reduce secondary sales etc but they really don't leave much room for error. With these big gigs, a lot of people travel up a few days before. Also, if you're not available to sign for the tickets when they're delivered, you then need to wait 24 hours + to be able to pick them up from your local Royal Mail office (that's if they're even open at a convenient time). 48 hours before the event really isn't enough time.

Hugh Jass Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm getting twitchy as I sold mine online as I couldn't go (cost price I should add). I need to receive them in time to send them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justperfect Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I got mine from see but they aren't like the standard tickets posted previously on this thread. Mine have a picture of the stadium on them. I'm assuming this was taken at a previous gig as the etihad looks pretty full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Maybe the late release of tickets is a measure to reduce/disrupt secondary ticket sales? The first show is 9 days away and the message seems to be that they're not even in stock at SEE yet. It's probably not, but if it fucks over the likes of StubHub, Viagogo, etc then great! (I do appreciate that there are some genuine sellers too, mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I do appreciate that there are some genuine sellers too, mind) Well this is their official reasoning and that's all very well but they still need to find the balance between that and not making things too difficult for genuine buyers who've paid £8 per ticket in transaction/booking fees.
