  • Robbie Williams: Dublin Charity Concert Ticket Fiasco

    Robbie Williams: Dublin Charity Concert Ticket Fiasco

    FINAL UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST.

    Lots of explaining to do with this. I applied for tickets for Robbie Williams‘ Charity Gig in The 02 in Dublin on September 14th and received this from tickets@robbiewilliams.com about twenty minutes ago. Mess, fiasco and lots of other relevant words come to mind.

    I’ll be honest, before this I was quite psyched about seeing Robbie again. I’d just like to point out that at NO STAGE did I receive an email stating that I won tickets for Barrowlands in Glasgow. Here’s what I got today.

    Dear Fan,

    Ticketmaster regrets to inform you that due to a database error, you will have been advised that you were successful in the ticket ballot for the Robbie Williams performance at Glasgow Barrowland. However, this was incorrect as you actually applied for tickets for the Dublin concert.

    As such, and in the interests of fairness to all Robbie Williams fans who applied for tickets for these two concerts, we have declared these ballots invalid and will be running them again shortly. You will receive the result of the new ballot by the end of today and we will be extending the booking period to midday on Friday 7th September to ensure you still get a fair chance to purchase.

    Ticketmaster would like to sincerely apologise to Robbie and his fans for any disappointment and inconvenience caused. All ballot applicants will receive further communication shortly.

    Here’s the first original email received earlier today:

    Here’s the second email received today:

    RobbieWilliams Ballot Update

    I’m not blaming Robbie or his team for this, it was obviously down to Ticketmaster to allocate the tickets. Hopefully they’ll get it sorted tonight or tomorrow and indeed give a large wad of cash to the charities that Robbie is playing the gigs for.

    Update 21:58 And so finally tonight this came to its conclusion when I received this mail. Ah well, no Robbie for me next week.

  • Gavin Mulhall: MS Charity Gig

    Multiple Sclerosis IrelandI was asked to include this on the blog.. it’s a good casuse so no probs!

    Hi Everyone,
    We’re doing a charity gig for MS Ireland on the 4th of November in the Church, Mary St. It’s €10 in, with loads of prizes available for the raffle including hotel breaks, cases of wine and a signed jersey (not sure what jersey or who signed it).It’s a great cause so please come out and support us to support the charity.

    A bit on MS:

    “multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease which affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other, often resulting in symptoms such as numbness of the extremities, uncontrollable tremors, dizziness, slurred speech, paralysis, forgetfulness, poor coordination and loss of vision to name but a few. Symptoms may occur in any combination and can vary from mild to very severe. The exact cause of MS is not known and currently, while there are medications available to lessen the severity of symptoms, there is no prevention or cure for it.”

    The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland provides a valuable support to over 7,000 individuals with MS in Ireland , their families, friends and carers. Through offering support and education, the organization’s vision is to enable and empower people affected by Multiple Sclerosis to live the life of their choice to their fullest potential.  However MS Ireland, as a voluntary organization, depends predominantly on support from individual fundraisers. It is for this reason that I am attempting to raise funds for the organization.

    Many thanks – Gav
