marie-andrée de rougemont Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Not being paranoid -well, not much... I can't believe I am the only one NOT to have received her tickets for the June 11th and 12th shows. Now Sandbags who kept sending comforting emails to complaints have now become incommunicado -they have probably run away in terror, there are a few people ready either to slaughter them or sue their balls off, as they never respected their contract with the ticket buyers. Has anybody in the same situation any idea how we'll get admittance to the venue ? Would hate to do 800 km then back just to watch the outside of the place -very cute but still...

Marie-Thérèse I didn't recieve the tickets and sandwich have agreed to reprint them for box office collection on the night, so I should bloody hope that's what they'll do or I will indeed slaughter or sue them, depending on whether it's cheaper to hire a lawyer or a butcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen, from not sandwich, sandbag is better as it is what I feel like hitting them with... had the nerve to send me a whining email telling me about her difficulties and how hard they worked to help people out. Can't Mika Management hire professionals ? I am considering starting a thread where anybody who had ticket issues will send a short post stating the facts, then send copies of it to them so that they try to work with another company for further tours. See you in Paris ? Area A, row C. Back or front ? As John D said on Monday, giggling , you never know until you have found your seat...

I have found a way for sandbag to get out of the mess they have put themselves -and their customers- into. Hereafter the email I have just sent to Helen : Quote You know what ? I am going to help you out of the mess you in sandbag have put yourself into... The only professional way to compensate to a very small extent, your not meeting the terms of the contract would be to send a sandbag employee to Paris and set up a desk where all the ticketless customers would pick up theirs without having to queue up. But you won't, and you know why ? Of course you do, it was a rhetorical question. Because there are no more tickets to sell. You were present at Sadler's Wells because it was not really a sold out gig, there were still profits to make. There won't be in Paris so you are going to let us fend for ourselves. Sweet and professional. And as you seem to be a lovely person, I will also give you a piece of free advice. Don't you ever whine about the difficulties of your job with people you have put in a mess. It is very badly received. We are the ones entitled to do the complaining. Marie-Thérèse Dubus cc. Mika Fan Clug forums / The Cirque d'Hiver gig thread Unquote M.-Th.

That's world class moaning Anyway Helen the sandwich is clearly trying to do whatever she can, it's probably not her fault that she's surrounded by incompetence, so I don't see the point in slaughtering her I do admit that I was ready to slaughter anyone and everyone saturday when I was sent back to square one for the 50th time though Felt I had ended up in that Asterix movie where they are running around in a house trying to get the paper that will get them the permission to get the paper that gives them the permission to...
