Nooooo!!!!!!!!

Sleepy

I can't believe this. After buying it on the first day of sale, not even knowing who was playing but already looking forward to a weekend of debauchery, I've lost my Oxegen ticket.

Words can't describe how gutted I am.

Easily_Irritated

Ah arse! Thats a pain.

Sure it must be there somewhere? Have a good look, iftheres no sign assume some fecker has stolen it and ring the gardai, a full scale investigation must be launched immediately!

JackKelly

good god thats gay. The usual "where was the last place you saw it". It has to be somewhere

Sleepy

Checked the whole house. It was on the mantelpiece, I think one of my flatmates is after throwing it out

Tusky

arg. Thats fukkin terrible.

amazingemmet

Quick into the bin with you its not too late

Victor

It was on the mantelpiece, I think one of my flatmates is going to Oxegen.

Geiger

Ouch, that sucks. Sure you weren't drunk and in the same room as the ticket? Maybe you moved it to a 'safer' place...

I'd watch to see where he is going that weekend.Did you check the fireplace it may have been blown in when front door opened.

Hardluck Sleepy.

Doubt they'd do that. Everyone would trade in their receipt and get another free ticket. Then sell it to their mates or ebay it.

The ticket checkers at Oxygen aren't going to know what ticket has been cancelled...

You're some cynical man Victor! I'd thought of trying to contact Ticketmaster like that alright but I can't see them doing anything for me, it is Ticketmaster we're talking about here...

I've turned my room over twice but I don't seem to have it there. The possibility of me having "put it somewhere safe" whilst drunk exists but it's one I'm quite skeptical of at the moment!

Cant you show them the reciept and get a new ticket.

how could a cancelled ticket be traced though?

if a new ticket was given and then he found the origional one whats to stop him selling it on

All I'd have is the email confirmation, the ticket was still in the envelope with the receipt attached. TBH, if I'd just received the ticket in the mail recently I'd probably try convincing Ticketmaster that it got lost in the mail but the fact is, I bought it on the day of first release so it'd be a bit obvious!

SoupyNorman

Still its worth ringing ticketmaster tomorrow and explaining the situation, they MAY be able to do something.....

worth a try!

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Report it stolen or something to Ticketmaster and to the guards (though you don't have to get the guards in on it). They use this scanning thing now to scan tickets in at the gate by the bar code on them. I wouldn't want to be the fúcker who tries to use that ticket at the gate, it'll be useless to him/her. I remember at Coldplay there were a couple of tickets bought by credit card fraud and the two women who came alonmg with them were questioned. Show the receipt and they'll log the barcode onto their system. I hope this info helps.

Sleepy

I'll call them tomorrow so. Won't get my hopes up just yet though cos at the end of the day it is ticketmaster!

Son of Belial

I'll be doing security at it. I'm willing to lend a paw if I can...

steveland?

When did they start with this barcode scanning stuff?

It's clever... any gig I've been to they just tear the stub off the ticket or, in the case of Oxegen, take your ticket and give you the arm band...

People I work for went to Stockholm to see Bruce Springsteen there last weekend and the tickets all have your name on them and you're IDed when you go in so they know it was you who bought them...

Stops touting/ticket stealing...

Still it'd be a bollocks if you couldn't go and wanted to give the ticket to your friend or sell it (at face value)

well best of luck,

i was in a panic cos i never got my ticket in time but luckily a friend well semi-friend decided not to go for reasons I really dont care about but sold me his ticket yesterday.

Relatively recently I believe. We were all given these palm-pilot things with touch screens and everything to scan tickets, they were the business.

Sleepy

I just hope they're using them at Oxegen. There's a section about lost/stolen/damaged tickets on the website but it's not exactly cut and dried so I'll have to see how much I can sweet-talk whoever's on the other end of the phone!

Tar.Aldarion

ouch hard luck man! im always super careful with concert tickets in case that happens

Lend a paw as in let people in for free, perchance?

Thats terrible sleepy..

But I'm just trembling with excitement to know how the phone call went..

Dont forget to add the 'Power of Boards' with its 40k users .. potential advertising disaster..

Dr.Feelgood

Best of luck with everything you try man.

Hope you get in!!!

Sleepy

Couldn't get through on the customer support line so I've fired them a nice polite email. I'll save the screaming and pleading for later!

Do you still have the receipt though? I thought it was in the envelope with the ticket? That's pretty interesting about the ticket scanning. Excellent if you've lost a ticket but does it add much queuing time?

Good luck getting a new ticket

Not a bad idea RedRaven but they can't replace tickets to a sold out gig.

Yeah but Two tickets and camping etc. worth a few quid no???

I'm such a plank. I'd brought them home to Galway because I didn't trust myself not to lose them and then forgot that I'd done it...
