点评:How can all accessible tickets be sold out 30 minutes before the event even goes on sale?
I wanted a wheelchair ticket for Robbie Williams and had paid to buy the album to get the presale code. I had checked other concerts at the venue so I knew in advance how to buy the ticket (as the process for buying wheelchair tickets for concerts is different for almost every venue). Wolverhampton Civic Hall uses AXS as their ticketing partner and all of their accessible tickets are available to purchase online. Their website states they do not have a phone number.
The afternoon before the tickets went on sale, I received the email with the presale code and a link to buy the tickets. I clicked through straightaway and found that the ticketing partner was Ticketmaster, not AXS. In the notes on buying accessible tickets it provided a weblink to the Civic Hall website. I was very confused so I emailed their dedicated accessible email address asking how I should go about buying the ticket I needed. I got an auto-reply saying they would reply within 5 working days.
This morning, just under half an hour before the tickets went on sale, the venue replied saying that all the accessible tickets had already been allocated but they would add me to the waiting list!! How can this be?!? I'm furious.
Here's the timeline:
27/11 15:15 - receive presale code
27/11 16:05 - email venue to ask how to buy ticket
28/11 09:36 - venue replies saying all sold out
28/11 10:00 - presale starts
If I could give zero stars, I would.
翻译:为什么所有无障碍门票会在活动开售前30分钟就售罄?
我想要一张罗比·威廉姆斯演唱会的轮椅票,为此我特意购买了专辑以获得预售码。我之前也查看过该场地举办的其他演唱会,所以提前知道如何购票(因为几乎每个场馆的轮椅票购买流程都不一样)。伍尔弗汉普顿市政厅的票务合作伙伴是AXS,所有无障碍门票都可以在线购买。他们的网站上说没有电话号码。
门票开售前一天下午,我收到了一封包含预售码和购票链接的邮件。我立刻点击链接,却发现票务合作伙伴是Ticketmaster,而不是AXS。在关于购买无障碍门票的说明中,他们提供了一个指向市政厅网站的链接。我感到非常困惑,于是给他们专门的无障碍邮箱发了邮件,询问我应该如何购买我需要的门票。我收到了一封自动回复邮件,说他们会在5个工作日内回复。
今天早上,就在门票开售前不到半小时,场馆回复说所有无障碍门票都已售罄,但可以把我加到候补名单里!这怎么可能?!我简直气疯了。
时间线如下:
11月27日 15:15 - 收到预售码
11月27日 16:05 - 发邮件给场馆询问如何购票
11月28日 09:36 - 场馆回复说门票已售罄
11月28日 10:00 - 预售开始
如果可以打零星,我肯定会打零星。
