PDA

So here's the situation. I came back from school on Friday afternoon, and on the kitchen work surface was an envelope, labeled "Ticketmaster". My dad, who was working 12pm-8pm on this day, had already opened the envolope when they came in the mail that morning, and left them there for me to see when I got home. So I got home, I saw the three tickets for Smackdown! in Manchester, and then left them in the kitchen, where I'd just come back and pick them up later and put them in my desk. No big deal, that's what I usually do. So then today I remembered all about them, and went to get them, when of course, you guessed it, they were gone. I asked my mum, she didn't know where they were, then I asked my dad, and he said he left them there for me. So we searched all over the house for them and they were nowhere to be seen. So, in a last ditch effort to find the tickets, we searched through the bin outside...and we found the 3 tickets, ripped into 6 pieces. My Mum, the stupid fool, had ripped them up, then coming off with the old 'thinking it was junk mail' excuse.

Luckily though, they are all only ripped in half and have been taped together, plus we still have the receipt. So yeah I'm pretty gutted right now, but all the tickets are still intact, and hopefully if we call the arena and explain, they'll understand. And obviously if they want to go through some verification process then that won't be a problem, because of course they weren't stolen ;) . But yeah, I could kill my mother right now, and I hope it won't be a problem. So, umm...any of you had a situation like this? And if so, has it been a problem?

Dude, I'd honestly not get your hopes up. There's almost no chance they'll let you in. In the end, why would they do you a favour?

Yeah i see your point, they have my money now so why would they care? But surely, it can't be the first time it's ever happened.

And also, learn from your mistakes. Don't leave your mail on the kitchen table to "take upstairs later". :y:

Well, I don't really expect my own Mother to rip up £200+ worth of tickets in my own home, so you know.

And I'd say I have a good chance of getting in, the tickets are all intact, they can verify it with the credit card number and whatnot to make sure they're actually mine. It's just a simple mistake. It's probably not really a big deal.

The stub fell off my 1PW ticket and they let me in (I still had both parts), As long as you have a full ticket (and another proof of purchase is recommended) you'll be fine.

You should be fine if you have proof that you bought the tickets (reciept) + the tickets ripped in half. I don't see why they wouldn't understand.

Doesn't it say on the tickets that they are void if they are damged etc?

Coming from Wales, you must have heard the recent story about the fans of Liverpool who had their tickets STOLEN from a post office van and they weren't allowed into the Cup Final.

Good luck.

That's why, here in the states, all Ticketmaster tickets, and a lot of other shit like that, come in unmarked, unobvious envelopes.

They don't say TICKETMASTER or anything relating to tickets or really anything identifiable. They look like junk mail actually.

My Mum can go to hell! She is not hot!

And about those stolen tickets, this is different, as I actually HAVE the tickets on me, and they weren't stolen.

I'll have more updates on this fiasco as soon as it comes. :shifty:

Well my Dad called the arena today, and they said it's fine, don't worry about it, these things happen. As long as the stub is still attached and that it's taped back together it will be fine.

I guess I was really screwed eh...:roll:
