    6 days from Manchester by post would have been faster in King George I's time.

    Mine turned up this afternoon as well. I wouldn't mind so much but I ordered at 10 am last Friday Morning. People mentioned on here ordering on Sat/Sun even Monday getting their tickets on Tue/Wed.

    Absolutely disgusting service from Ticketmaster. If ever a company was inaptly named, it's this one.

    It's been a lean few months for the Rent a Gob Mob...success on the pitch means their moaning has to find new avenues.

    If you don't think there's an issue with someone who orders first and receives their goods last then please tell me who you work for & I'll not be doing any business with you either.

    ffs

    But we are not talking about goods you can do anything with? what were you wanting to do with the tickets if you got them Tuesday? i would imagine ticketmaster do not make any effort to make sure its first come first receive as it does not make any difference.

    Is that the point though? What's the advantage to having a ST if you're not going to get the tickets first.

    It just seems wrong to me, to order stuff what ever it is to not get it posted straight away. Especially with the fees involved.

    But as Tyketastic said the receipt of the tickets is only time sensitive if you are on the last push. It's not as if you are waiting for a book, DVD which you can use if you receive it earlier.

    The advantage and point of the ST is cheaper than buying game by game and priority for big games which you got. you got to buy your tickets first what possible difference does having them any earlier make? i wont see mine until Sunday morning! Now i agree on the booking fee front but thats how these big ticket firms make money. I have ordered tickets for gigs/comedians 12 months in advance and not got the tickets until a week or so in front i just cant see the issue

    OK then mate, we'll just have to agree to disagree then. Don't get all ott though. As I said it just seems wrong that ordering first and receiving last seems wrong.

    end of, I'm logging off now.
