I was 'lucky' enough to get tickets from SFF for the last tour and saw them at the O2, it was the worst concert I have ever been too, they started almost 2 hours late at 10.40pm, we had to leave before the end to catch the last train West, a lot more people left to go East as their train was earlier and saw even less, they sounded terrible, and the same thing with the lateness etc was reported at all the shows and they seemed to get later each night. So even though I did really used to like the music, I won't be in a hurry to go see them should tickets for the O2 be released again this time.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Spoke to Wimbledon Theatre when the above post first appeared and they didn't know anything about this performance! However, have just spoken to them again and it turns out that this is "Invitation Only" and not for the general public. So suggest you don't turn up as they confirmed that you will not get in unless you have an invitation. The original post should therefore not have been posted at all. So, despite all of a_person's OTT animosity towards me when I originally posted regarding this, I thought I should do everyone a favour and pass this info on. Maybe the original info should have been vetted more carefully.

I don't see the relevance of you mentioning my name here in your post however since you did, I think you need to get your facts right before you type. I have no animosity towards you so stop making it as though it's personal (honestly, I couldn't give a flying f**k who you are - I would respond exactly the same whether you were canadian_turtle, funthing29 or the Queen posting on the wrong thread). Secondly, as mentioned to you again and again (and which clearly you are unable to understand) - what annoyed me was the fact that you repeatedly post on a no chat thread (and then act as though it was the first time you did it :roll: ). As I pointed out to you, I appreciate you were trying to be helpful but if something clearly says no chat and points to where you need to post then go and post there. That's not me being over the top - that's me asking you to read the rules that were sent to you in your email from Beate/AYBG.

People subscribe to this thread and nobody likes to get an alert and see some dumb post of "oh how do I get tickets?" "this code doesn't work." Yeh I appreciate everyone makes mistakes but it's a completely different thing when a mistake is made again and again and again and on different parts of the forum. Everybody gets annoyed - not just me and other posters pointed this out to you at the time of these post so not sure why you think it's animosity towards you (you seriously need to get over yourself and past the fact that your error was pointed out).

We have already established the original post should not have been posted and this is where the conversation had arisen in which canadian_turtle and I pointed this out, which, if you had bothered reading the posts at the time you would have actually seen them hence the OP has stopped posting these sort of posts. At least their post was about a freebie regardless of whether it was a useful freebie or not - your post wasn't. Again as stated to you at the time, if you have a question about someone's post - you PM (PM = private message incase you fail to understand this too) them or write it here. I'm not really not asking for anybody to understand rocket science here. I hope you finally understand the point being made to you and I don't have to repeat myself again and again and for you to think it's OTT animosity towards you when it isn't/wasn't.

On another note, well done for using your brains for once and posting in the correct thread. o/ I'm sure many will read your post and find it useful and for that you deserve a :star: . Hope I'm not being OTT again. ;)
