Too bad I can't go coz I am in Spain and it is impossible to organise a ticket right away...

you bastard lol!! Ive applied loads of times, but no luck!
I rang up the ticket line and asked what the odds of actually getting tickets were! They said:
Quote:
Not a lot!
They said they get 20,000 requests PER WEEK, and can only choose 300! So odds of getting picked is 1.5%. God i really want to go!

Applause Store are the official people for tickets. And if you get a chance like this, take it, becasue the waiting list is very, very, very, very long now.

E-mail or call Applause Store and ask, I'm not sure what the policy is on it.

If this is real, GO TO THE UK!! This is a once in a lifetime chance dude. Meet the hosts and tell them about FinalGear, dump loads of FinalGear ads in their cars (also in Jeremys Focus TDCI images/smilies/lol.gif )

Well, if you can't go, surely the decent thing to do would be to offer your tickets to someone who can make it...

Hello there

It is a genuine email, I've been to filming a couple of times and they do sometimes canvas people if they have spare tickets and need to get spaces filled quickly.
