piscosour   10 #1 Posted June 30, 2009 I had to read this twice, wouldn't they have the choice of keeping their tickets anyway and applying for a credit card refund?  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8125515.stm  "Since he loved his fans in life, it is incumbent upon us to treat them with the same reverence and respect after his death."  By selling them a piece of paper for £75?

scottf   21 #2 Posted June 30, 2009 no tickets have been sent out yet so all people have got are confirmations.  I think its a pretty shrewd move my the concert promoters- aolt of people will go for the plaques simply for the re-sale value in the states.

scottf   21 #4 Posted June 30, 2009 i don't- it might be a gamble, i have got 6 tickets so i think i will get a refund on 4 of them and play the long game with the other 2- you never know in 5 or 10 years it might be worth something.

Annoni_mouse   10 #6 Posted June 30, 2009 Plenty of numpties will be only too happy to give AEG the 75 quid for a piece of holographic tat, if the 'superfans' on GMTV this morning are anything to go by.  Especially seeing as apparently Michael himself designed the souvenirs (Can you smell something?...)

Joey   10 #9 Posted June 30, 2009 I was actually asked by someone on Friday if they could buy my ticket from me, so I'm thinking that maybe it would be worth keeping a couple back. Who knows, it might buy me a couple of tickets to Take That's next concert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
musbird   10 #10 Posted June 30, 2009 We were gonna see him on tour but were replying on a couple fo e-bay specials...  If we had of got tickets then I think we would have applied for refund on 1 and had the souvenir on the other.  At the end of the day its a money making scheme thought up by the promoter so they dont lose the money (its just they dress it up as wanting to give souvenirs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
