Got on the phone at 9am this morning hoping to get a dissabled ticket for myself and a ticket for my carer at 9.30 someone picked up the phone at Nottm Arena and all dissabled tickets are sold out.What a farce,by the time the Fan Club who fork out for their shity membership have had their pickings from the pre sale,there is nothing left for a fan who first saw them live in 1974 have spent a fortune on everything Queen have released and has a brain tumour is wheelchair bound and wont be around for the next tour.Meanwhile the fans who have about three Queen CDS and walk with a walking stick get lucky.Very dissapointed.Best of luck to them. |

Send an email to Bri via his soapbox. He may respond well to a situation like this. Good luck !! |

Don't worry because your not missing anything, because Freddie is not here! I certainly wont be spending a penny on a glorified karaoke singer like lambert, i would rather donate to the Mercury phoenix trust. |
| andyb1968 03.10.2014 11:48 |
Phillip that is disgusting !!! Make a big fuss mate, deffo tweet Brian and Jacky at the fan club, my guess is you are not the only one. By the way I first saw them in '74 in Manchester so we are the same vintage :-) best of luck, hope you are successful. |
| noorie 03.10.2014 12:33 |
You really should mail or tweet Brian. I really hope he sends you a ticket and invites you backstage. He is a nice guy, so maybe..? Anyway, good luck! |

Your trash-talk on a topic like this...makes me wonder how low you will sink in the future :( Philip, I'really hope that you will have an opportunity to see them live. Good luck. |

Could you get to Leeds instead? It is only 70 miles away, and being brand new probably has better capacity for disabled fans. I guarantee you are going to prefer the venue, it is the finest concert arena I have ever been to. |
| jeffuk49 03.10.2014 13:30 |
more tickets will be released only 50% have been put on sale, its a typical marketing ploy |
| tero! 48531 03.10.2014 14:43 |
So... How many disabled tickets are there, and how do you know just how disabled the other customers are? And what's Brian supposed to do about? Cancel the tickets of other disabled people? Or let you sit on the stage because you've been a fan longer than somebody else? What if that other person with three albums happens to be in even worse condition? How should the tickets then be prioritised? I realise it's an emotional situation, but you really should have slept the night, and only then complained about it... |

Tell Brian your carer is a badger...... |
| Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 03.10.2014 17:24 |
Good luck, Philip! Just don't give up before exploring all of the possibilities, including nearby cities, if this is feasible for you. And please turn a blind eye on those who cannot understand the situation ;) Keep passing the open windows! Cheers, Ogre- |

musicland munich : It is not about how low one can get its about the fact there is two sides to a coin, and everyone on here is rushing for tickets like the four members of Queen were together again, but they never will be again, your only getting 2 members of Queen and camp Bono look a like i.e Adam Lambert, which does not rock my boat, but before you all say i am been negative, think about it for a minute! Why would i want to see a group failing and only half the power they once were, when i have seen them 5 fives in the 70s & 80s on fire! If your going then have a great time, but i am not easily pursuaded to waste my money like some silly people on here. Adam Lambert sucks! |
| philip storey 04.10.2014 04:18 |
Of course i dont expect to sit on the stage and have other peoples tickets,its just a bit hard to take when you dont have much time left in your life.Anyway thanks for all your messages of support. |
| andyb1968 04.10.2014 04:52 |
We're all with you Phillip :-) |
| Hoopsie 04.10.2014 06:43 |
Email Brian- there are always extra VIP seats held back until the last minute and they may be able to find something that works for you. It's a shot- take it!!! |
| philip storey 04.10.2014 06:45 |
Dissabled ticets all sold out at Nottm,Bham,Leeds,very dissapointed. |
| patronus87 04.10.2014 10:03 |
Also in Italy the situation is very strange. I don't understand why the tickets for milan have been saled from the 1st october instead 3rd october like says the official site. You says that is the "pre-sale", but at the 13.00 pm the tickets are finished. Was all "pre-sale"?? It's strange! Anywhere, Fortunatly i had time to buy the tickets for zurigo (final date of the tour). Another time, in italy it isn't possible to buy tickets for Queen concert. Why only one date?

Disabled tickets have to be bought from the venues directly. Every time I've tried to book a disabled ticket (for Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester) by ringing them BEFORE general sale, they've always told me I had to ring back when General Sale happens - something which I don't think is fair at all. I do have to say though, there ought to be some benefit to being a fan club member, but as one who booked some normal seated tickets on Monday, believe me, the choice was crap and very limited. |

You're stuck in the past. Great. We're happy for you. Now stop hijacking every other thread related to the current tour with the exact same tirade. It's getting old. And furthermore (and more obviously), show some class, please. Someone terminally ill said this experience was important to them, and you are basically saying that your point of view is more important than that. With all due respect.. Go play in traffic, you selfish waste of sperm. |

Ah Mr. Wizard: Knew it would't be long before you stuck your beak in ha ha! I will continue my sheer disgust of Adam Lambert and there is nothing you can do about it. My opinions count as much as every one elses and its not a matter of show some respect for someone who is terminally ill, because i am not offending them, so please stop the smoke screen! i am not like the the rest of the sheep on this site by saying "oh Lambert is amazing " the truth is he is bloody awful and you lot need to get your ears syringed. You have already slagged off a true Queen album(with Freddie) "Hot Space" so i am looking forward to that day Lambert and Queen release an album and it will make you all run for your copies of "Hot Space! ha ha ha I am proud to be a purist Queen fan, and yeah if i have to live in the fucking past then hell, its better than living in the future with a tosser who was not born when Queen first appeared on the music scene. by the way i did not say as you quote that my point of view was more important than anyone elses, because i leave arrogance to you because your good at it! cheerio! |

Might be worth sending letters to the venue, promoter and main sponsor (if there is one). You could try emails too but letters tend to elicit more of a response. If that fails you might try a social media campaign to get your point across. Companies tend to be good these days responding to online criticism on their online websites, facebook etc. Good luck. |

^^^^^ Gerry grow up. The real Wizard, like many others on here post considered and well written posts. You however seem to repeat the same Adam Lambert hate drivel then tie yourself in knots trying to prove how intellectual you are. Yes you're entitled to your opinion, but so are the rest of us. As The Real Wizard has pointed out, you turn every thread that mentions Lambert into a platform for your repeated rant. This thread/ topic is the last place anyone needs to read what you think. Unless it is a constructive answer to Phillips problem. Now I would suggest you go away and make this forum a better place, because nothing you've said in this thread is of any help to anyone! |
