well good for you Rien, ... see ya there!!!
im going too and its possible i may have a spare ticket!! but i chose not to pay extra to have it posted so cant pick up until the day
Ok. . . I'm very confused about this. It seems to me that at this point everyone who has won the lottery should know if they've won or not by now, correct? Thing is, I just got an email from Ticketweb today telling me I can purchase tickets for the Brixton event. Is this for real? Shouldn't I be buying these tix through ticketmaster??
Apparently there was another deadline yesterday - so if you got this email, it's not a surprise - don't hesitate and buy the tickets :-)
Excellent. I just purchased my ticket! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being scammed.
Just out of interest did you enter the lottery via the Fan club or queenonline?
Just trying to get an idea of my chances of having a similar email waiting for me when I get home. I am not holding out too much hope though.

I've just booked to go away for Easter and come back on Easter Monday, so I'm bound to have a winning email waiting for me at home now!
I got it through QueenOnline

how many people actually won?
i did too and me and tracey will be there so see you all there ill be the one with the hottest babe there!!!!!!!!
Right on, babe! I'm glad I didn't even win or else I wouldn't be going with Ian!!!
Ok I have a problem. Help me out please.
I register on QOL but don't get a ticket email before the rest of the UK gigs went on sale. So i think better luck next time, and buy a rubbish ticket for wembley. It's interesting that 10 minutes after the site opens the whole place is full but whatever.
Then yesterday i get a mail saying i have won the lottery.
The problem now is i need to sell the wembley ticket and buy one for brixton (lets face it wembley will be wembley but brixton will be better.
Then I think wait a minute where did all those wembley tickets go. I ring up a ticket agent / tout offering vip packages and find he bought 400 tickets from the promoter. He has block a and b tickets for £300 each !!!!
So the real fans get the crap seats and the touts get the good ones. I think we were here many years ago.
Anyway, I now feel like buying a second brixton ticket and selling it to make a point that while brian may hate touts, he is actually selling tickets to them via his promoter ! So while it may say you can't sell this on ebay, where are the touts getting the tickets from officially ? The same place you and I are. So seems like the money making machine is fleecing us yet again.
Don't get me wrong I am a big fan, but don't think we are being treated with enough respect.
Oh and another think someone on ebay was trying to sell a brixton ticket but he was given a tough time by fans and withdrew the tickets. Why don't the fans give the promoters a tough time for the farcical way the tickets were announced, released and sold ?
Advice anyone ?
Anyone genuine fan want a wembley or brixton ticket ?
Cheers

You are absolutely right, Dilemma. There is a lot of hypocrisy on the side of QP regarding the ticket touts. Why did we blame the fan who offered Brixton on ebay? Because he posted here. If Brian May posted here, he would get the blame.
That's a good post Dillema, if I were you, I'd e-mail that to brian may at
