Ticket allocation for The Wanted's Olympic torch 'gig' is a total shitshow

  • May 16, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

A "data pro­cessing error" looks set to dis­ap­point quite a few fans of ban­ter­ific ladband The Wanted.

The 20,000 tickets for their June 30 'gig' to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic torch to Birmingham were ori­gin­ally available via Ticketmaster through a ballot.

However, Ticketmaster mis­takenly emailed everyone who applied telling them they could go, which means there will now have to be another ballot.

:(

Talking to the BBC, a Ticketmaster spokesman said: "Due to a data pro­cessing error, Ticketmaster incor­rectly advised all customers who had entered the ballot for tickets to the London 2012 Olympic torch relay special city cel­eb­ra­tion in Birmingham that they were winners in the ballot."

"All customers who ori­gin­ally entered the ballot have been informed of the error and that all tickets pre­vi­ously claimed have been inval­id­ated," he continued.

THANKS BORIS.
