H_B Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Also, given they haven't taken any money yet, I'm not sure what they will do if cards decline... Might be more tickets pop up throughout the day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Federer's back spin drop shot on return of serve at 5-5 in the tie break was brilliant. Could be wrong but I think he mishit that. He certainly apologised to Murray after the point. The DC tickets was a nightmare. I've got the amounts showing as pending on my card though so presumably gone through ok. I kept refreshing from 6.55am and it opened up around 6.57 so worth taking that approach tomorrow. Was done by 7.05. Then trying to do 2 other orders for friends took me 45 minutes. Agree that they should have BTM login requirements and individual passwords/links if they want to extend it to people who were at the previous rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Agree that they should have BTM login requirements and individual passwords/links if they want to extend it to people who were at the previous rounds. How hard would it be to have a field checked against a database? Idiots. Also, why are they holding any tickets back from priority sale? Why should their own LTA members lose out to joe publics because they've stopped them buying tickets on the Tuesday? I don't even have a pending debit card transaction against my bank account.

Virtual Insanity Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Probably because mine is on a credit card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Well I've given up trying to get tickets. Been trying to get on the Lta website for the past 25 minutes and it won't even load. So no chance I'm getting anywhere now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie95 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Managed to get 3 for the Sunday!! Noticed that the LTA website was being annoying so just googled "Ticket Factory Davis cup" and it brought up the website! All sold out according to Twitter! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Just when you think the LTA can't make more of a c**t of this... they manage it. What a total shambles. Sold out without their own website even having a link available this morning. Allowing Ticket Factory and even the Emirates website to sell tickets though - which wasn't advertised to their own members. Someone should be sacked for this. Still, at least the touts got theirs. Plenty available for £500 now on Stub Hub Edited August 27, 2015 by H_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty available for £500 now on Stub Hub Seen some as high as £700 on Viagogo. Never got tickets as a result of this cock up today and missed out on Tuesday also with them opening it up early for the priority tickets before the actual time of sale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The LTA tries to ensure that tickets for its events are sold to genuine fans. The LTA takes the issue of unofficial ticket selling seriously. For the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas semi-final tie between Great Britain and Australia, The Ticket Factory is the only ticket agency authorised to sell tickets on behalf of the LTA. Selling tickets through unofficial means is against the LTA’s terms and conditions and may allow prices to be inflated and prevent many fans from attending. Anyone considering buying tickets from the unofficial sources runs the risk of being unable to enter on the day as the ticket may have been cancelled.

I didn't have time this morning to search, I had to get to work. For what it's worth and I never do this. I'm sending an email into the LTA about this, it's got me that annoyed. I'm not upset at missing out on tickets, I'm annoyed at the way it's been handled. I'd firmly expected to not get a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) The number of tickets cancelled by the LTA due to being sold through StubHub etc will be 1 less than the number of redundancies made when the Germans took over the Nuclear Power Plant in The Simpsons Edited August 27, 2015 by H_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them this morning... Re : The Davis Cup Tickets Fiasco I'm sure you will receive hundreds, if not thousands, of comlpaints concerning your ineptness in managing what was an entirely foreseeable tickets scramble. I have a number of questions :- 1) Why was the "Priority Link" in actual fact a code that every man, woman and small canine had access to by Monday evening via social media? 2) Why weren't ticket sales limited to 4 per person, not 4 per booking? 3) Why weren't ticket sales linked to a database of BTM numbers, requiring a field to be filled in when attempting to buy tickets that was... your BTM number? How hard is this to do? (Those requiring priority tickets as a result of previously having attended DC matches could have had a number allocated also contained in this checkable database table) 4) Why did the ticketing website open before 7 am on Tuesday? 5) Why did you have a server powered by an arthritic hamster turning a wheel? 6) Why were tickets available through vehicles other than the LTA website on Thursday, when that wasn't communicated to members? Leading to those faithfully refreshing your own dreadful site gazumped by those who more sensibly ignored you and went directly to The Ticket Factory! 7) Why weren't all tickets sold on Tuesday? Why was there even any non-priority sale - made all the more galling by your absolute failure to manage that properly for your own LTA members. Still not to worry - plenty of touts have managed to get tickets and resale websites such as StubHub have tickets merrily on sale at 6x the face value. Well done LTA! Short of subcontracting the organisation of this to Homer Simpson, or perhaps Frank in "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em", I genuinely can't see how you could have made a worse job or this. Congratulations - almost impressive in it's level of frightening inefficiency! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Albeit I'm gonna go for a slightly more serious tone throughout! Edited August 27, 2015 by Widge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
