They won't change things back now, but I would be willing to keep my Tier 2 ticket at a reduced price. Say £149 with the booking fees adjusted accordingly. I didn't buy the Backstage bar add-on, but those who did should certainly have that part of their ticket cost refunded.

There were also people posting on BST Hyde Park's facebook page requesting a plan of the layout before any tickets went on sale. Those requests went unanswered. If they had nothing to hide, why wouldn't they respond?

Which will bring people with Tier 3 in a worse place. A bit egoistic, isn't it? You paid for something which doesn't exist. So take the refund. Someone has already come up with a good compromise, which is to give the fi

None of this helps me though, because I don't want a refund. I want what I paid for, which is a good view of the stage without having to stay in one spot and try to keep my place for hours. I don't care about the bars and food outlets, and I dont care about the special entry point, which is actually more inconvenient for me as I will be walking from Paddington.

QuoteTooTough Don´t know if this shows anything, but if the stage is the same (high!) and the seating chart we have now is the same when the Stones will play July 6, you can imagine what Tier 1 will be on that day. Imagine the smal black line as a fence to GA3: Good grief, you'd struggle even to see the video screen from that angle. And Tier 2 would be even worse.

I'll be surprised if I get a response before Monday. It's just a matter of capacity. You count as a body whatever section you're in, and they can make the sections as large or as small as required. I got the standard

I'm just totally downcast by it all now. I was so looking forward to this, but it seems to me that I'd gain nothing from being in T2 now. All I wanted was a decent view and not to have to stay in the same place for hours and hours. Not bothered about a bar as I'll have to drive myself home at the end of the night. But looking at it now, if I don't get there early and stay

I've sent him this. Who's with me? Dear Mr Hallett Your reply is unsatisfactory. I clearly stated that I had purchased a Tier 2 ticket. Let me remind you of the description supplied to prospective purchasers of Tier 2 tickets: "Tier 2 - access to an area closer to the stage than general admission" The map you enclosed clearly shows that the Tier 2 area is NOT

What worries me is that several people were asking for a map of the layout on BST Hyde Park facebook page, before any tickets went on sale - yet there was no reponse. Why not, unless they had something to hide? I just cannot understand why they would not put up a diagram from the beginning. Also if the map on Twitter is fake, why don't they make a public statement, and reply to all thos

QuoteBowieStone I think the new lay out is a reaction to the reports they refer to on their facebook page: "Contrary to reports in the press, if you buy a £95 ticket to see the Stones in Hyde Park you have the opportunity to go right to the front of the stage, where the action is!" Yes, but that could still be true with the Bon Jovi-style layout. People with GA can still get to

Quotebeepee2 QuoteSister Marie Bah if they "open" the doors from the reserved areas just before people enter in the GA far away from the stage, the word "access" makes sense.

QuoteBeast Also - there WAS a layout on Ticketmaster, right?? So anyone who bought tickets on there this morning would have been going by that layout - which does not conform to the new layout. So that is mis-selling. That layout was up on Ticketmaster yesterday. As they are one of the ticket agents, it was reasonable to assume that the plan was correct even if you then bought through another

Well, I am not bothered about being right at the front, but I don't want to have to stay in the same place the entire day to keep my spot. I am only 5'1" so don't want to be stuck at the back of the field where I'll see & hear nothing. So I'm happy with Tier 2, means I'll be not too far away but able to move around a bit.

I got mine without any problems. I made an account with them a few days ago so my address etc was already stored (not card details though) - think that paid off today.
