another de-lurking moment........... anonymous October 5 2007, 15:49:10 UTC

I've read this thread with great interest! And I share the disappointment with those who wanted to buy tickets and can't. I also would like to go, but I think as JB supporters it's easy to forget that this is a BBC Event first and a JB event second. The BBC have been running these things for ages, and just because John is set to appear, they can't be expected to change the way they do things. I have a friend who's been to FNisMN before, and they've queued for ages and not got in! If the site has managed to secure tickets, I wonder how many other fans of "Stars" have had that chance? Gavin does look after John's fans and we're lucky that he does that.

Back to the "Official site" not announcing it, the reason they get the status of "Official" I guess is that they don't do rumours and to be honest neither do I! There's plenty of places one can read what John *may* be doing, but I much prefer to be told what he *is* going to be doing.... and I'd expect that from an Official site.

Anyhow - we have the new CD to look forward to next month and we don't need tickets for that!

No-one expects the BBC to change the way they do things that would be nonsense. One does expect that when the website holds itself up as all knowing that it actually should be such..and in my experience it is not or is often late with the news, the only thing is that to my knowledge this is the first time they have been caught out by not announcing soon enough for people to apply for tickets. I am sure most of us have enough experience of freebie tickets on the BBC to know its a pot luck thing. That's not really the point.

I am not going to debate the website further as I am very strong views on its official or otherwise status and how it does things which I don't think it is appropriate to air in an open forum. This time they have slipped up and they know it.

Guess it's pointless asking how you think they've slipped up?

But you have me intrigued..... so I have to!

Well rather than debating the relative merits or otherwise of the website, perhaps we should just be grateful that Gavin is prepared to try and get hold of some tickets now so that hopefully ar least some people will be able to go.
