Just got a phonecall from the warehouse project and apparently they've oversold the gig and are refunding loads of tickets, all the ones that are being picked up at the venue, including the 3 Ive bought

 

GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I threw a bit of a strop on the phone saying Ive booked a hotel (which is bollocks) and she says I can get into the Kittin and hacker on on friday for free

 

Anyone else picking up their tickets on the night?

That ticket agency are a proper useless bunch of cunts aren't they?! So glad to have my tickets in possession now. The place is going to be stupidly rammed.

Glad you kicked off on the phone, fucking get Trading Standards on their arse. Kitten and The Hacker?! Jog on mate!

Yeh I did, the worst thing is 3 of us are getting refunded and my mate's GF who's not even that much of a fan is left with a ticket on her own, think she's going to ebay it though

Kittin and hacker hmmm, weatherall is playing aswell and he's ace so we're going to to go to that I think

that is absolutely wank mate, i'm sorry to hear that.

What's pretty daft is that they're giving a load of free tickets for this weeks Kittin/Hacker night, that is a proper piss take.

Kenneth, my mate and I will be in The Bulls Head about 8:30

Ok Jimbob, see you there. How will I recognise you?

you're fucking kidding me? i've already paid for two flight tickets from Iceland. how do you "oversell" a gig???

Are you picking them up at the gig?

They may give you some grace as youre coming from iceland but they told me theyre getting the ones who are picking the tickets up on the door back as loads will have thm already and they wont have any way of getting those back

Expect a packed venue folks

Mcdergbit, their email is guestlist@thewarehouseproject.com I'd see whats going on mate

Mate I feel so sorry for you, I can't believe you've been messed around like that and they've oversold. There's been a shit load of tickets on ebay...

Erm, not to take advatage of a bad situation but I might know someone who would buy the ticket off your mate - but how come you're not taking it?

I'll be wearing a beanie not dissimilar in colour to the one in stripeyhat's avatar, and probably a camo hoodie with a pint of the blackstuff at hand.

and yourself?

She doesnt want to give it to either of us three cos its harsh on the other two, I'll see what she's doing with the ticket dude and if she'd sell it to you, can't promise anything though cos she did say she's going to ebay it..

Fair enough way of thinking I suppose.

Cheers, I appreciate it - and no worries at all if she'd rather stick it on ebay!

Don't be alone panga. Come and join us.

@JimBob - I'll be wearing a white Kappa shell suit and thick milk bottle glass spectacles. I'll be easy to spot.

I know some spaz who might be putting some tickets on ebay. He isn't really the fanboy type so im not sure he's arsed about going. Does anyone want me to give them a shout if it happens? I can get him to give me text. It sounds piss poor, the organisation for this thing.

Well I need a ticket for my sister somehow so yeah that'd be cool, ta.

never ever ever give in to ebay. If you wait it out you will almost always be successful and you won't be sponsering complete CUNTS, (full offense intended to anyone who has bought a ticket for an event they weren't ever planning on going to just to make money of fans).

Scarlet Mist is pretty crap at the moment, but if it ever gets popular could be awesome, and I've known success stories to come of it.

BUT the best option: Wait till 3 or so days before the event so basically the middle of next week. this is the time where the combination of touts wanting to get rid of all their spare tickets, and genuine fans who couldnt get time off work or the couldn't get a lift or whatever, leads to a situation where lots of people sell at face price if not even sometimes cheaper.

Examples in point - a group of my mates got tickets for Glade 2 years ago ranging from face value to 20 quid under, on the thursday morning off ebay. I was convinced to go to the Reading 2006 when my mate found a pair of tickets on gumtree for 200 quid. This was especially sweet (in a mean way) because some of my other friends had parted with 200 quid each for their tickets about 3 weeks before).

Every so often you might even get incredibly lucky and get a ticket from somewhere you hadn't even been looking! :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

Obviously this isnt guaranteed and you might miss out eventually, but it feels so good when you finally beat the touts its worth it.

Woah there tiger......he isn't a tout.

Yep. I know so many people who regularly sing the praises of scarlet mist

that wasn't particularly directed at him, although I'd still think it better if he was selling it at face value not on ebay.

On better news I've now officially been diagnosed with glandular fever which means I can't have fun for the rest of the year. I am however going to risk next weekend as a one off. Anyone got any advice from past experience, I'm over the worst of the feverish stage I think/hope.

Not meant to drink for a couple of months because of something it does to your liver, obviously thats not gonna happen, but does anyone know if that would mean I shouldnt do pills either?

Funnily enough, someone who's going to four tet tonight has just rang me and asked if anyone on here wants a ticket (face value) ? Send me a pm and i'll give you his mobile if youre interested.

i meant a four tet ticket not an aphex one btw

Just to report on the venue, went on Friday picked up our complimentary tickets on the door, which turn out to be VIP passes

Head to the VIP area which was about as low rent as you can get- a few tables and chairs and a portaloo. We did meet Andrew Weatherall though is as nice a bloke as you can imagine.

I've got to say I was pretty impressed with the venue itself, its just big enough to give it a bit of a wow factor but much more itimate than the Warehouse at the Boddies brewery last year. One main room and a mint sound system

Kitten and the hacker were (unsurprisingly) a big pile of wank, theyre a right pair of misnomers aswell and their electropop piss got right in the way of the techno with their set being placed in the middle of the night. The night wasn't ever going to be AFX but Weatherall was brilliant at the end.

I reckon next week will definately be something special but my advice would be get there as early as possible. I was expecting the venue to be bigger and its going to be heaving in there

I'm overcome with the most incredibly beautiful sensation of justification. Holding out against the touts I've now managed to source a total of 4 tickets for me and my mates all at face value. I've never been more certain of how right I am. I feel like a Christian

Excellent Blutac, didn't see that one coming.

Do you lot know anything about how to beat sniffer dogs?

I'm not sure if it's worth the risk, whether i should just get some gear inside, inside be it overpriced but there's a price to pay for everything i guess.

Anyone had any experience with them?

Nice report, cheers for that. So the sound system was good and loud and clear?

Any sign of our canine friends outside?
