Booche Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Oh lordy.I just went to pick up my Police tickets but ran into a snag. A few months ago I ordered them and since , we switched from our old MasterCard to a new one (better interest rate). So, what did I do when we switched? I cut up my card of course. Trying to procure these tickets just now, I was informed that I need that orginal card in order to get them or TicketBastard could transfer the amount (which I have already paid for in full) to my new card. ITs something to do with their "system". The lady at the desk told me "Just call up MasterCard and have them void the transaction."PARDON ME?Sure, it is my fault in the end for not having that original card on me and I fully accept that responsibility but dont you think they could have a better system in place (I did pay a huuuuuuuuuge amount in convenience charges afterall) for events like this? Anyone else ever run into something similar? In the meantime, I am going to contact MasterCard and see if they will wipe off the second charge but if they cant, I have no idea where to turn. They mentioned bringing in one of our bills so I am trying to get a hold of Douglas in hopes we have one lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 get them to mail them perhaps to the address of the mastercard? you can also contact the bank and have them send an old statement, perhaps from the same month you purchased the ticket.you can get statements as far back as a year or more.no big deal.

MarcO Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 you'd think that with proper ID and a receipt showing your name with charges HAVING GONE THROUGH with no problem would be enough.I loathe TicketMaster with all of my heart and soul.

edger Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 No advice here unfortunately Booche, but I just hope that it works out for you (I'm sure it will)...unecessary irriation though that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Buddy, pm me and I might be able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks everyone. It looks like Douglas still has the original statement with said transaction, so I got that going for me. Since she is so on the ball, I am going to surprise her this weekend and not plow some roofied Stellas into her. And Edger? It sure is irritating. You said it.None the less. PM SENT! The interest level grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Since she is so on the ball, I am going to surprise her this weekend and not plow some roofied Stellas into her. Dang. I was hoping for some roofied-out-but-not-quite-napped-out-late-night Douglas postings.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Glad that I could help. Here's to a killer Police show. Come to Toronto for a gig. I've been reading you can get tix for next to nothing outside the venues. There's a flood of 'em on the "market". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I KNOW!Demand has dwindled. I'ld love to make it to TO for some kind of gig. Truthfully, we have a ways to go before that happens anytime soon.Wilco fall tour perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headymamamyrna Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 So the moral of this story is always call your wife first as she knows where all the statements and bills are plus she can find anything for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 i did that once booche. when i realized what happened, i just called them and asked for them to mail me the tickets instead and that was fine. but i guess you already solved your problem.

bouche Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The Moral of the story is to pick up your tickets somewhere in between February and a couple of months before the concert. Lazy Procrastinating Arse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
