Westlife chaos
That expensive booking fee creamed off when you buy tickets through Ticketmaster - that's for the quality service they give.
Sometimes.
Last night's Liverpool Westlife gig was a bit of a screw-up: Ticketmaster customers hadn't received their tickets through the post, so eager Westlife fans had to turn up in hope and lay siege to the ticket office in a bid to get in.
We're sure Ticketmaster will be refunding all those booking fees as they'd not really done anything to earn them.
Of course, poor though this show was, the angry Westlife fans still managed to overstate their frustration:
Kath Johnson, 55, from Liverpool city centre, said: “It has been horrendous. I have never known anything like it. I had to wait over an hour to get my ticket.”
Upsetting. Ruined the fun of the evening. Maybe a bit annoying. But if you can live half a century on this planet and you've never known anything as "horrendous" as having to queue for a little while outside a box office, you might consider your life to have been somewhat charmed.
And if Kath really wanted to know horrendous, wait until she got inside and saw Westlife singing. Now, that's bad.

Seetickets did the same thing to my sister-in-law (and hundreds of others) when she saw Take That at the o2 in December..........so maybe not such an unusual occurance after all.
And with the fairly recent practice of having "transaction charges" instead of explicitly calling them delivery, they'd no doubt not get a refund on that either. Not that they were particularly good at giving it back even when they called it delivery charges when they messed up.
