Röd Tour

[m@rco]

I didn't have time to come back on and post this, but after another 90 mins this morning I finally got 2 tickets for the Fri night in Stockholm. So who all wants to meet up and head to the gig then?

We did that for tour 19 and a laugh!

Would love to, haven't got a ticket for the 26th though.

I just received this message from Stockholm Globe Arenas Group Booking:

"Tack för att du bokat biljetter till konserten med Kent.

Tyvärr är liggetiden som anges på din bokningsbekräftelse fel.
Dina biljetter måste hämtas ut senast fredagen den 6 november.

Vänliga hälsningar

Gruppbokningen"

Can someone please translate? I have a feeling it is bad news. >_<

EDIT:
Is it telling me that I have to pick up my tickets before 06 November????

emmm, it looks like you have to pick up the tickets by friday november 6th- something about a mistake with their pickup date on the booking confirmation.

can someone else double check this translation for me?

OMG!!! How am I going to do that from here?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm guessing you're not really in Hagnesta Hill! (which country are you in?)

can the booking office post you the tickets? or, can they send you the pdf version that others have got who bought tickets (no tickets for me).

any nice people out there in Stockholm that will pick them up and post to you?

Haha, no I am living in London, UK at the moment. I have sent an email to Ticnet to see what they have to say. I knew I should have picked the e-ticket method. I am not sure if they can issue an e-ticket now cause I haven't actually paid for the tickets yet. Also, I don't know if they will allow someone else to go pick it up for me. This is horrible, I've already booked flights and accomodation as well. >_<

Your translation is correct. Sakermanser has to pick up the tickets by November 6th.

any chance of a cheap ryanair flight? do they still have the Stanstead route? I think that route had 2 or 3 flights a day- you could possibly be out and back on the same day to pick them up- saving on accomodation.

hopefully someone at Ticnet can help you with this. what did their initial email say- regarding picking it up? (post it here if it's in swedish & you are unsure what it says)

Maybe you can get an extra ticket and convince someone in Stockholm to pick it up for you and send it to UK in exchange for the extra ticket which they get to keep. Good luck.

The original booking confirmation said this (in English):

"You must collect your tickets by Fri, February 26, 2010 11:59 PM. If unclaimed the reservation will be cancelled."

I thought, how amazing, I can book another ticket for Thurs too and pick them up at the same time. So that's what I did...and now they've majorly screwed me over. I haven't heard back from Ticnet yet. Anyone else have this problem?? I can't afford to fly out to Stockholm just to pick these tickets up...it's too much of a hassle and it is not that cheap when you add on airport taxes, airport shuttles, metro fares, etc. I calculated at least 70 GBP...I can't believe this is happening. GUTTED.

Since the concerts aren't sold out yet, there are lots of solutions. For one, you can let your tickets expire and book new ones via pdf. Or you can send ticnet.se a mail and explain your situation.

I would go with the first option.

Cheers

Are they not sold out? I searched for tickets for the thurs and fri shows and I got no hits. There are some for the sunday show but I am only in town until fri.

I still haven't heard back from ticnet yet.

Can you give them a phone? I know it's Sweden, but it might be the only way they get back to you and give you a straight answer. A few £s on a phone call might be worth it to try and save not only the concert tickets, but your flights and hotel also.

If there's no way you can get the tickets, and they 'expire', you could always post on the 'biljetter' part of the forum looking for thursday tickets. one rule of that part of the forum is that tickets can't be sold for any more than face value.

Tickets are still available for all shows, including Stockholm.

In the past, before tickets were available for self-print, I found the ticnet employees very helpful via e-mail.

I would buy self-print tickets now and ask them to release your original tickets.

Kent are in Berlin now and giving interviews to the nordic press.

Now, after recording and presenting their album in Berlin and playing live in New York, I'll be seriously upset if they'd make the album / tour a Scandinavia-only thing again!
