Just some figures:
The Belgian show was sold out in no-time: 3500 people
called in the busiest minute. In the busiest quarter
of an hour 52000 calls were made. About 300 of these
were mine, I travelled by train two hours to Antwerp
to call from a phone booth, with a telephone card, no
luck, drank a cup of coffee and travelled back to
Holland.
The London show was sold out in 29 minutes; it seems
150,000 calls (!) were made. About 200 to 300 of
these were mine, without luck.
Amsterdam was sold out in about 70 minutes, 60
minutes by phone and Internet, 10 minutes or less at
the Postoffices and GWK's, though some people were
lucky to get tickets by website and phone later in
the morning, even though most selling points said
that everything was sold out. I got tickets for 19
Nov at 10.02 hours, when I asked about 21 and 20
November immediately after that the Postoffice
checked and said everything was sold out. When I
called Carrй at 11.30 though they still had tickets
(don't know how many) for 21 Nov. On the forum I read
that even around 13.00 hours or so some people still
managed to get tickets by phone and website. I think
it was a very bad thing that Carrй sold tickets from
09.00 hours by phone whereas all other selling points
started the sales at 10.00 hours; I certainly got
half a heartattack when I heard this, as I had
already had bad experiences trying to get tickets for
London and Antwerp. I will call Carrй and ask them
not to do this again in 2009 or so. Calling is a
lottery with many no's.
Other figures to mention are the scandalous prices
some people dare to ask on Marktplaats and E-Bay.
People ask up till 470 Euro's and I saw one bid of
Euro 500 for a single ticket. I am certain that these
prices will even rise when the concert dates come
closer. Bad thing, especially the commercial
companies who make a living from this ought to be
ashamed. Let's be glad we earn our money in a
different way people.
