Quotegotdablouse @The Worst - sorry to hear Rob hasn't been in touch, odd since he said he was "taking care of us like no one's ever done"...so for a refund it's probably best to do what bartfrombrussels did apparently and contact frontgate directly. I think I might ask for a £100 refund of the now (even more) useless "Unwind Backstage Bar" for a start and see what happens.

Quotebartfrombrussels I answered this: I still want a complete refund for my Tier 2 access - Unwind backstage bar for 299 + 29,90 (service charges) + 30 (delivery) = 358,90 £ for the Rolling Stones show on the 6th of July because I bought the ticket with this understanding "GA Tier 2 – access to an area closer to the stage than general admission" and not "Tier 2 will have a

Quotebeepee2 QuoteRik Quotesteffiestones The promoters and the management are responable for this fiasco, not the Stones themselves...my opinion. The Rolling Stones organisation is responsable, just like AEG is. You mean the Stones should have refrained from wanting GA T3 to be at the front ? Well yes naturally.

This bar thing that they charged an extra £100 for. "BARCLAYCARD UNWIND BACKSTAGE BAR " Seams as if I have access to this bar located far away from the stage. But then when inside the bar. Do I still have to pay £10 for a rom drink or do I get it for free? I mean, I paid a £100 for getting in there, but do I get anything more that the access to it? In that case, this will probably b
