O2 ticket troubles?

"I wonder if you could update your site with the following information for fans that have purchased tickets for the NME BIG GIG at the O2 in London on 26th Feb 2009 specifically from the presale site run on the NME.com website (back in Nov 08) by Trinity Direct Ltd. I have been trying to contact them regarding my outstanding tickets to no avail and today their website has been updated with the following:
"Trinity Street Direct Limited and other companies within the Trinity Universal Holdings Group have ceased trading.
Notice for Customers: All customers that have placed orders on websites operated by Trinity St should note that all paid orders for items that were in stock and able to be processed on 13th February have been dispatched. This includes tickets for all events up to and including February the 24th. We are also holding substantial numbers of tickets in stock for events for the remainder of February and into March. Many of these tickets will be dispatched over the next few days (see lists below). We are working to obtain necessary clearances to dispatch further tickets as soon as possible. The company is working hard to resolve all issues regarding all outstanding customer orders (merchandise, music, tickets) as quickly as possible and further updates will be posted on a regular basis." (Thanks K)

  5. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all! I imagine that there will be a knight in shining armour (well, in black with bird's nest hair, lol!) to come to the rescue and get this sorted.

    Dear Big Gig/The Cure Ticket Holders



    What follows is of the utmost concern to you... Please read on.



    As of Monday 16th February, Trinity Street, the company that powered and handled your Big Gig ticket transaction, ceased trading and went into administration. The upshot of this is that all orders, payments, information and communications are frozen and out of our reach for the time being.



    We are confident that at the very least, we will be able to gain access to the basic customer order details / database within the next 24hours. This will then allow us to contact you directly with more information, instructions and help where necessary IN RESPECT OF your orders.



    Please rest assured that our primary concern right now is you the fan...



    We really appreciate your patience in this difficult time... more news to follow soon.

  9. Shit, this is the same company that runs the official UK Cure merch store! I had noticed the other day that the website was down when I went to see if I was going to place an order for a shirt. Now I'm certainly glad that I didn't...

  10. It's just wait and see, I guess. Craig, thanks for keeping us updated. I'm sure they will sort something out. They couldn't play the O2 in front of a seating crowd, could they. That would be a bit naff. Fingers crossed, people!

  15. I'm looking for a standing ticket to 02 if anyone has one or knows how I can get one. sleepydoll3@hotmail.com

    I have an extra seating ticket to Brixton. I just spoke to See tickets and they just got them from the promoter and are sending them out now. If you don't get them, just show credit card and id at box office night of show.
