THE ROLLING STONES CONFIRM THAT ALL TICKETS ARE VALID AND SHOWS WILL REMAIN ON THE SAME DATES IN AUGUST Concert promoters for The Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang World Tour, announced today that The Rolling Stones London shows on Sunday, 20th August and Tuesday, 22nd August 2006 will now take place at Twickenham Stadium. This follows the announcement from Wembley Ltd on Friday that Wembley Stadium will not be completed in time. Although The Stones are disappointed not to have played the new Wembley they are excited by the switch to Twickenham which sees them return to the venue they played two sold out shows in 2003 to unprecedented critical acclaim. The good news for Stones ticket-holders is that the Bigger Bang Concerts will take place on exactly the same dates this summer. All London ticket purchasers will now be issued tickets for Twickenham. The distribution information will be announced shortly. Anticipation for the tour is already running at an all-time high following the incredible critical and box-office response to the Stones’ North American shows. ‘A Bigger Bang’ world tour is currently rolling through Japan & Australia. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts will be opening their European tour at Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium on 27th May 2006.

Big Al, I believe the e-mail wants you to say yes, I'm going, no, I'm not going.
So I said yes just in case. But I'm also getting one refund. I talked to a human being at Ticketmaster for the refund. So if you want to go better say yes. And like me one of your party cannot go, then deal with that later. They don't make it easy, do they.

Jagger50,

Will you be at Twick I ? Be very glad to meet you.

thanks guys. It appears then (going by the last 2 sentences) that you only need respond if youre NOT going.

Cheers

I've been dealing with TM by phone for many years and I have never encountered such an entity. Every one of them have been robots or aliens

Do they drink Guiness or Tea

The actual survey from Ticketmaster that you're supposed to fill in reads like this -




Please answer the following questions:


1) If you would like to attend the concert at Twickenham, please select Yes. If you do not wish to attend the concert at Twickenham please select No.

Yes, I would like to attend the new event at Twickenham.
No, I would not like to attend the new event at Twickenham and require a full refund


2) Please confirm your booking reference number.

Yes, at both shows, will have a beer ready for you. Cheers!

Great. Cheers

If any IORR members are going to either Twicks show, it would be lovely if we could all meet up for a couple of pints and a chat before the show. Shall we start this via e-mail?

but that contradicts the e-mail that Harm and Big Al copied and pasted above

How can you receive two separate e-mails/instructions which ask you to do two different things?

Gazza, who sold you the tickets? If it was Ticketmaster I can give you the phone number I got through to a human.

Shall we?

i think it was the "lovely" comment that threw everyone off on this, J50...

I don't get it.

lovely and IORR don't mix

whisky and water do, though

OK, why don't we meet up to talk about some shit kicking rock n roll.

sign me up!

What about: We meet down the frog and toad down the rubber tub, sink a few pigs ears, have a natter, get Brahms and List and finish with a Ruby Murry.

personally, I'm gonna have Gazza lead me by the hand (at some point that will probably involve draggin' a 220-pound near-corpse around) through the quaint pubs of Richmond....

There does seem to be a great contradiction in the e-mail, suggesting that you need only reply IF you do not want to go, but if you read the instuctions at the link it says answer yes or no. I answered yes, and used the comment box to re-affirm my will call status. I figured I did no harm and did not want tickets lost in the mail.

I'll going to 22nd one, and wouldn't mind at all having few beers with fellow IORReans, and perhaps settle this VIBRATO vs. WEAVE thing once and for all... So count me in.

I bought the tickets through the normal TM outlets. I have 3 sets of 4 tickets for the 2 shows - all of them (kinda) accounted for.

Slight problem is that I've changed e-mail address since buying them so wouldnt have received any e-mail from TM as I hadnt changed my profile with them prior to the e-mails being sent (I've also read that letters are being sent - howevere I didnt get one. Maybe theyre just going to phone customers).

Anyway, I did phone TM 2 weeks ago and whilst on hold, their recorded messages gave conflicting info. It firstly mentioned advising them whether you wanted the tickets or not - and then later stated that you just had to reply IF you wanted a refund. When I got through to one of their helpful staff members (!), after having difficulty finding my booking even though I gave the reference number, he seemed hopelessly confused but I did manage to prise out of him the fact that as I wanted all of the tickets I didnt have to do anything.

Not wanting to take any chances I sent TM an e-mail late last week to confirm this and giving booking details of all three of my orders. Still waiting on a reply but hopefully that should suffice.

Thanks for the offer of help nonetheless.

I understand that our good vibrato-lovin' friend OpenG shall be jetting in for one of the London shows, so hopefully he will join us in order to put forward the argument for the IORR Taylor faction!

The Taylor faction? You make it sound like it's part of Rote Armé Fraktion. :-D

JumpingKentFlash

thats exactly the way I intended it to sound. They're a very militant, extremist bunch! Well spotted!

I'll be at Twick meeting up with the ol barn cake OpenG!!! Should be fun.....
