Tia Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I totally agree with this, Allegra. I can't see how they would sell valid tickets, and even less NOW. Maybe Tia can clarify how she is getting her tickets... To me, this sounds dodgy, and personally, I wouldn't do it. I got my tickets thou facebook. i applied as they came up and i heard a few sundays ago from itunes that i recieved them. I got a text telling me to check my email and in my emails there was one saying that i had won and too a email address and ref number to claim them, once u claim the E-Ticket is sent straight to you, you just print it off and take it with u. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Brits barred from Jackson memorialLast Updated: Friday, 03 July 2009, 17:09 GMT- Search: Jackson memorial plan The clamour for tickets for Michael Jackson's public memorial has begun - but the singer's British fans will be left disappointed. Only US residents with tickets secured through an online ballot will be allowed in to the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. Other fans of the King of Pop will be able to watch Tuesday's event from their homes as organisers announced it will be broadcast around the world. The stadium's website temporarily crashed within moments of AEG Live president and chief executive Tim Leiweke announcing the opening of registration for the draw. How unfair....

I hope this helps! Ah, great, thanks! Does the eticket have your name on it? But of course, if someone wanted to be dodgy about it, they could send the eticket to several people, and on the night only the first person to show it would get in. That's the problem with selling e-tickets, it needs to be sold to an friend cause otherwise people can be conned . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a number on it, its all kinda automated, once u reply to the email its sent straight to you, they also havent told me to bring id with me either althou i may bring a bill or something with my name on just to b safe. iv often thought that about etickets, i wondered if once it had been printed it could b printed again? iv never been sure. someone could put them on ebay and sell them 100 times, its so wrong.

Don't ask me what it qualifies for, or I'll get an infraction ! Anyroad, as long as you don't tell your shrink about it, you should be able to stay outside and enjoy your free tickets when they arrive ...

Iv known 2 ppl lately that have bought from ebay and their tickets have been fake:sneaky2: Well, they sometimes say that you can only print them once, but in reality once you have the document there's no way that I know of in which they can limit how many times you can print it off. I have seen it written in some tickets though, but I think that it's just a way of scaring people into not doing it. Is it a pdf? or just a url that you go to and print it from there? or inside the body of the email? In any case I doubt that they can stop you from making more than once copy. If I was you I would take ID with you just in case they do check though. You never know . As no-one's leaping for joy, can I assume the draw isn't on Fridays? Or have we all been unlucky? It's meant to be on Fridays. No luck for me so far for sure .I guess that the fact that more people aren't on the "yes" list means that we're all on the same boat . Btw, DarkLight: Did you win tickets then? I don't quite understand your RSVP message . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 just applied for tickets, how would they know that i'm not a uk resident? i just had to name a county. my location is not in my facebook profile, and if they want an ID for picking up the tickets, i can say i'm in the uk for a few weeks/months - they didn't say you have to be a permanent resident. however, i just hope i can go. london. and only 1 friday off work. my works' summer party is on that day, but i'm sure the better party is at the mika gig.

sariflor Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Don't forget stroopwafels, maan I love those:wub2: I heard you were paprika chips obsessed yes:roftl: Oh yesssssss! How could I forget the stroopwafels!!!! They're incredible! They sell a similar thing here at Starbucks but the Dutch version is better. Many years after we moved back to Spain from NL, when my dad went over on business he'd be forced to bring us tons of stroopwafels and paprika chips, so yes, one could say that I'm obsessed . It was so lovely of the Dutchies to bring me those chips when they came to London for the gig just because I had mentioned it months earlier; I will never forget that .
