Ruth Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You need to buy a crazy amount of tickets to win that Mika plays in my bathroom thing Oh heck, I know that. The space between the numbers isn't regular. It's another word. Expoential ???? Like earthquakes. It's not that I'm thinking of a gig at home. I just like to know that in the whole wide world, I am there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Oh and guaranteed we won't get points for tickets to shows in Japan. I have never got points for a ticket, just bought all the music and merch...and I am currently 61st in the competition. I think I can name just about everyone ahead of me, except for the person/people winning by some OUTRAGEOUS margin. Whoever they are, it is clear they are milking the system. 145000+ points...I have only 34000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avoca Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 no news on my front about this yet.. fred..? I'm considering to get next gig tick I wanna get somewhere else. the extra we pay on MS is supposed to be bonused by points. otherwise, I'd probably go for the cheaper shipping (still reliable seller), cause I'm broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an email reply back from them today after I enquired about the points and any indication of when the tickets will arrive since I already have my Manachester one posted and recieved already. this was the reply Hi This is something we are looking into currently and do hope to have with you shortly, thank you for your patience.

Blue Sky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I asked why we weren't getting points for the Japanese tickets, and they said it was because third party promoters refused to get involved. However, I pointed out to them that the system was unfairly stacked in favour of UK/Europe/US fans, and that anyway, I believed someone was cheating the system to get so many points ahead...with all those ticket purchases. You know, I don't go to gigs, and I am as high as 65th in the contest. Well I could NAME almost all 64 of those people ahead of me, because they are sure to be MFCers going to gigs who write on here...we are the most enthusiastic fans after all... So I wrote and complained. I loved their response. They wrote that someone " may well be cheating at the moment and believe me that they will not win! We are not stupid here :-)" So whoever you are, you have been forewarned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a fair email Basically its stacked in favour of people who either can do many gigs (fair) or ..... can buy many many many tickets and not go <ive said enough on this anyways> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
