    what if someone's flying from far away and has already left and their tickets pass them going the opposite direction, while they're flying in for the show?

    I wonder if they'll still refund "special code" tickets that are, according to Ticketmaster, on their way..

    hmmmm.

    Well done Robert. This clearly means that AEG/NME are taking the hit on this as TS didn't pay up. So this is a major achievement.

    JR has just started, he has said that the Cure are one of his all time faves and commented on Simon's "rockabilly look!"

    Craig - I must say a big THANK YOU for keeping everyone informed on this. You put NME / AEG / TMU / thecure.com to shame in the way that you have kept everyone in touch. COF is really a very helpful bunch and I hope to meet some of you on Thursday night. Are you coming Craig? He deserves complimentary tix for all his hard work!

    Wow, I never expected this would happen. Did Robert threat NME he wouldn't perform unless they sent the original tickets to the ticket holders?

    Yeah, I wonder the same thing what MonkeyButt said.
    What about those who live in other countries far away from UK? Registerd mail takes more than a week to be delivered, u know.

    Love TOO or hate it - The performance of JR Show was energetic but with a slowed down vocal. A great taste of what's to come next week.

    Sits back and waits for the "TOO is sh!t" comments to follow.

    It was posted on Cure.com on the forum, someone received e-mail and posted it on there early evening. But things get buried underneath all the threads.
    Good it's all sorted hopefully now everyune can have a good weekend x.

    I am still crossing my fingers for everyone. If I were in this mess, I wouldn't believe anything until I had tickets in hand!

    CUREOUS FACT:
    i was watching tv, Warner Channel to be specific and they will be showing a new series called "Fringe" and they were showing a commercial promoting the new series and i think that the soundtrack will be a cover version of A FOREST, cause they were playing it for the commercial, it sounded interesting, sung by a girl

    I also had all the problems with tickets but the 4 I originally ordered have arrived this morning by non registered mail

    I emailed AEG to ask if I needed to send back the "unique code" standing ticket (that came this morning) to get a refund. This is the reply...

    "If you receive these tickets do not use them as the barcode has been cancelled. You will receive the correct tickets with a letter in with the tickets, these are going out registered post today"

    Do they scan tiks at this venue?? They must have something in place knowing that they've sent out a whole stack of additional tickets for a sold out standing space.... either that or it's gonna get pretty crowded in there. ;)

    Anyhow, I would be cautious before passing (selling) them on to friends......
