guypjfreak Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Watching how he is cancelling tickets brought from other ticket companies ie viagogo etc.. So if you have brought any tickets from them you can go to the gig and apperently or hopefully which ever way you look at it you will be able to get a new REAL valid ticket.... Wot you reckon.. Good idea or not.. But some thing does have to be done imo so maybe it's a start. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44195496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 It’s fantastic. Such a big tour to spread awareness for Twickets with too. I’m someone who often looks for cheap tickets on the secondary ticketing sites but would be happy for that to go out the window if it meant there’s no touting element persisting. What Viagogo says at the end, however, does feel a little valid. Doesn’t seem like it’d allow in the competitions act for a company to be part of something that is pulping tickets from a competitor.

guypjfreak Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 It's a bit like when pearl jam took on ticket master but no other artists backed them up so I'm hoping that with Ed doing it this way other artists will do the same.. I reckon pearl jams fight with ticket Master turned into a too personal thing where as Ed has just said no come along to the gig anyway and we will sort it out. BUT there's going to be alot of people who for what ever reason can't or won't be able to take the risk of going to the gig JUST INCASE they don't get a valid ticket... But I suppose it is a start and fair play to him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I have little time for the earnest ginger chimp but fair play on this one. If nothing else he's helping bring the issue into the national mainstream consciousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think it's brilliant. Absolutelly hate people who will buy excessive amounts of tickets just to sell on with a massive profit margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guypjfreak Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Let's hope other bands / singers do the same.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44251887 It's a start Edited May 25, 2018 by guypjfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Did Metallica or the Foo Fighters already do this? Or Noel Gallagher? I’ve got a memory of reading an article about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
