Guest Breakdown Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Bookings Direct are awful. Must have hit F5 at least 10,000 times. Finally gave up, and went over to Ticketmaster, and ordered my tickets straight away, no problems at all. I had never used them before, but I know which site ill being using from now on!

Guest FreeSpirit Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Was on Ticketmaster right from the start, and am happy with both seats that I got for the Tapings in Manchester. I saw that crap on Bookings Direct, and quite frankly they can kiss my a** if they think I'm putting in all my personal detals before they tell me what seat I get. Anyway I got: Raw: Block D = Row B (£68.50) Smackdown : Block 105 = Row Q (£53) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on front row... did you go down to the NEC itself? :-/ You live near? How long was the cue etc and what time did you arrive?

Guest SHEF Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I went at 8pm last night as the Take That concert was on, next person to buy WWE tickets didn't arrive till midnight so was more than early; but still used to it from the WWF periods when people actually went much earlier. When we went inside there were 3 windows and I got stuck with the biggest idiot on his first day at work who left me there ordering for 30 minutes while my nephew had ordered his and was out inside 3. Luckily with all the mistakes he made even trying to charge me £90 extra the seats were safe and the guy next to him sorted it out for me; I thought I'd be in the tiers by the time he was finished with me. I was the first person in and pretty much last one out of all the people who came early... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dickie Hyde Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 So you got to order the WWE tickets for the NEc at Midnight last night, so basically ,on the day of sale? Is this normal proceedure? Cos if so i'd head up to a Birmingham and stay n a hotel for a night. Dickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookings Direct are C***s[/quote'] go to the bookings direct website, click on the tracker, enter your email address and your confirmation number you were sent this morning, wait about 30secs, then you get your seat block numbers. Mine were crap. Call 0871 230 0010 to cancel and rebook if need be, you get straight through when you tell em your seats are crap and you had no choice, they sort it out for you.

Guest Dickie Hyde Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Ok Gurrr. I got: B,F, 9 for RAW B,F 6 for SMACKDOWN Thoughts? Edited April 28, 2006 by Dickie Hyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GURRRRR Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ok Gurrr. I got: B,F, 9 for RAW B,F 6 for SMACKDOWN Thoughts? really depends where in the row you are. I sat in a similar position at the NEC tapings and had to stand up most the time. You can always ring em and see if they can offer you any better. Better seats than i was initially offered tho I seriously have to get to work!!!!:oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dickie Hyde Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Well I tried ringing but she couldn't change them to anything better, she said it was the best they had offered at the time, so I kept RAW and SMACKDOWN. As for Birmingham I had Block F Row T. I cancelled this one as I re-purchased this morning from the nec site and got Block D row 7... ringside block :D What a performance bookings direct... I didnt know ticketmaster UK did wwe events? Anther quick question, I've just seen someone with tickets in their hand for Manchester, photographed. Is it possible to travel to Manchester the day before the sale date, (much like SHEF did with Birmingham) and queue for them for about 12-14 hours and be guaranteed good seats? Any help is great, Regards, Dickie Edited April 28, 2006 by MrFill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howie Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 ticketmaster only do certain events i think, seems to vary between each tour. WWE should use them for everything, they do in the states. all the other sites are now crap, as people have found out today (bookingsdirect reaches new lows, and nec have changed a perfect booking system to a terrible one). you will have a high chance of getting a great seat if you queue out, but it depends how determined you are and who is in front of you when you get there. only die hard fans do it, but remember you just have to be lucky sometimes and front row tickets are available online if you can find them.
