TOPIC: Sheffield Ticket Swap?

Sheffield Ticket Swap? 4 years, 7 months ago #22019

Hello, first time poster here but long term voyeur..

I got Sheffield tickets on the pre sale and there was only one option on the day "Standing".. weeks later I get the tickets and I get two tickets marked "Balcony"..

I am trying to argue my case with the ticket agent but the Balcony at the academy is all standing so I think they are covered for the way they marketed the tickets.

I just wondered if there was anyone who has two stalls tickets who would be willing to swap and view the gig from the balcony?

For everyone else, check your tickets now to save embarassment on the night when them big ass security guards tell you to head upstairs!

I've not got my tickets yet (friggin Secure Mail services and Digital Stores grrrrrr)

I'll be really gutted if I end up with the same fate and have Balcony tickets. It would be absolutely ludicrous if the big fans who bought on the pre sale end up stuck on the balcony.

Good luck with swapping your tickets, it will be tough going as prodigy gigs require going down the front and letting it all go!

Sorry to off/topic your thread Marmite Man but I just want to say to Amplifier you not having received your tickets tends to make me panic a little less as I haven't received mine yet either, I didn't get an updated email stating they would be sent out the week beginning 6th Oct neither, maybe I won't start ranting just yet.

Good luck MM.

I spoke to a lovely member of Secure Mail services who have my tickets and will delivery it to my work. I didn't want to risk getting them sent to work but the lead post of this thread has got me worried.

Same things happened to me..got 6 tickets 4 of which are balcony..even more shit as means we wont all be together...I'd rather they were all balcony or (preferably) all standing!!!!...I think it's appallingly shit of carling academy to do this..when people book standing tickets they mean they want to be right in the centre where the atmosphere is...Ive always associated balcony with seat tickets really...very sly marketing I'll be avoiding the venue as much as possible in future. I went to see Rancid there a couple of weeks ago and nearly callasped when 1. there was a 10pm curfew (11pm curfew for prodigy!) and 2. there's no smoking area..and you cant go out the front!!...that along with arrogant doormen. I just think it's a shame as the venue can make a big diff to your night..prodigy tickets arent cheap..and I'm not complaining but I expect to get what I pay for or at least to have been made aware that some of the standing tickets would be dished out as balcony..im sure they would have still all got sold! Grrr..despite this sure i'll still enjoy myself
