Right. Time to vent.
On sunday evening, Rove announced to Australia that he was going to be touring. On monday morning i went onto the Ticketek site to see what was happening.
There was a link there to go to the Ozzfan website and join up for "Exclusive Presale Tickets"
Awesome i thought, so i purchased my membership ($50 USD) Now, it says it will take 1-2 weeks for the "Membership Pack" to get here. Thats fine i thought, because all i will need is a password or membership number.
Nothing has come. Tickets have been on presale for half an hour and im going to miss out on presale, even after having done everything instructed to get the "Exclusive Presale Seats"
Fanfire...you can kiss my fkn ass. Waste of time and waste of money. Misrepresentation of what to fkn expect.

must be a contact number or a misunderstanding. Not saying company hasn't stuffed you around but give them a ring and see whats going on. might get some freebies!
Just as an amendment to this, sent off an email to them, pretty much telling them that they were a bunch of con-artist, decieving pri**s. I got my password reset for the website and low and behold, i got myself a presale password.
So this morning i logged in, and got myself 4 tickets for the front section of the floor. Absolutly bouncing off the walls.
Iron Maiden in Feb...Ozzy in March...What a top year it will be.

Don't be stupid. Power isn't measured by the size of your tacho
This is the email that i sent them:
Good afternoon.
On Sunday, Ozzy Osbourne announced a tour of Australia. On Monday i visited the
Australian Ticketek website and it said "Go to OzzyFan for presale tickets" So i did
and i purchased a membership and have since gotten an order confirmation from you
telling me that you have infact recieved my payment.
Fanfire Invoice for Order# XXXXXXX
What i dont have is any form of password to get me on to presale. If the password is
only going to come with the package, which can take up to 14 days, why advertise to
join your club and get all these great "Benefits" when i am now $50 poorer because your
system does not work logically and i am actually UNABLE to purchase the tickets on
presale.
A Password would be great to enable me to buy presale tickets. Preferably before presale ends, otherwise my $50 will not be doing what i intended it to do, and what you advertised it would do.
Thanks you in advance.
Rick
Didnt actually call them any of those things, but was the sentiments behind my email

The $50 was a fee with the Official Ozzy Osbourne Fan-Club. They were given a certain amount of pre-sale tickets which went on sale an entire week before they were to go on sale through ticketek offices. Although Ticketek are still handling the payments.
Ticketek membership is still free as i signed up the other day. But the Ticketek link tells you to get the "Exclusive Pre-Sales" by joining the fanclub and had a link to the Fanclub website,. where you pay the $50 to get the access to the pre-sale tickets
