    Now correct me if I'm wrong folks but I think the link only allows the person to buy the same number of tickets they had purchased for the cancelled gig.

    So the link becomes redundant once the person has used it.

    That's how I imagined they would do it but it doesn't seem to be the case. The links in the email I saw weren't personalised. They might look it as they have a long complicated address that mentions 'track' in it, but that's just their standard way of tracking clicks in emails (see the links to 'Visit our help page' or 'Visit Ticketmaster.ie' also have the same address format). Once you click on it, you get redirected to a short Ticketmaster address that anyone could type straight into their browser.

    That's my theory anyway, although as it wasn't my email I don't think I should post the link.

    The other problem might be that they let anyone buy tickets now and enforce the past purchaser only and ticket limits later.

    someone on another forum i use has said that there doesn't seem to be a limit on the amount of tickets you can buy, compared to your previous purchase.

    surely this will be sold out before it even goes on general sale tomorrow so :confused:

    ....


    seems to be no limit -i only had 2 tickets for the cancelled gig and managed to get 4 from the priority link this morning- so i don't think there will be many to carry over at this rate... was'nt being greedy just picked up 2 extra for a mate who got his cancelled tix for cash and could'nt get priority.

    Some one just post the link. I got tickets to the April shows in person so i didn't get a code. I can just imagine going into Stephen's Green ticketmaster tomorrow morning and Queuing for a couple of hours and not getting as has happened on several occassions in the past.

    If the link is the same for everyone than for the love of god someone post it!!!!:confused:

    Ok I've been kinda mulling it over about leaking the URL as normally I would in these situations. It is not unique and can actually be found fairly easily.

    Problem is that the tickets are a fiver cheaper than the ones that go on sale tomorrow. If it leaks and Ticketmaster/Pod loses X amount of money on it will they go back and cross reference the sales to see if people used it legitimately or not? I don't want the blame from people who thought they were sorted for tickets only to get them revoked. Also I'm understandably cautious of doing anything to piss off Ticketmaster or any promoters. As such I'm not giving out the info but the info in italics will probably lead to someone doing it. I would just say be cautious using it.

    Come on, put up the link! The April gigs were sell outs anyway so how could ticketmaster be surprised if all the tickets sell out at the cheaper price?

    If the link is posted publically I'd imagine that Ticketmaster will definitely cancel non-legitimate orders on it.

    How could they cancel 'non-legitimate orders' if the link is just a general link and not an individual one. They wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two if the link is the same for everyone. Come on! I'll be your friend...

    They only emailed the link to people who had bought tickets for the April gigs.

    Matching the orders to the emails that they were sent to could be done with some manner of computer pretty easily I'd imagine.

    Cross reference the details of those who buy with it versus the ones they have on file from the previous time? I'll admit it is probably unlikely but as I said I do not want to be responsible. The page specifically says it is for people who had tickets to the previous show. If it hadn't that warning I'd put the link up.

    Does the page specifically say it is only for people who bought them online or over the phone ? ;)

    its a bit mean if anybody posts the link in my opinion.the reason that there is a discount on the presale is because everyone who used their credit card to book tickets the last time only got refunded the face value of tickets not service charges that ticketmaster are so fond of adding on.i dont get paid till tomorrow and im hoping there will be some left by then

    I think it's 'Pretty Mean', as you said, that people that bought tickets in person or over the phone for the original shows won't get a chance to buy tickets to this one. Realistically, very, very few people are going to end up getting their hands on them tomorrow.

    It's also a bit unfair that someone who bought one ticket to the April shows online can now buy 5 or 6 to the November shows!

    The April gigs sold out pretty rapidly. Although, having said that, a lot of people did see LCD at the Picnic just a few weeks back so demand mightn't be as high.
