Ed Sheeran tour

Since nobody else wants to reply to your post M I'm happy to step in and oblige. 

If somebody buys a ticket for a concert in good faith and pays over their hard earned for the privilege. what right has the concert artist to deny them access to the venue.  I personally know a number of people who were victims of the Glasgow Ed Sheeran debacle. They are now hundreds of pounds out of pocket and quite rightly are no longer fans of that singer and will now never ever go to any of his future concerts. . Sheeran has done absolutely zilch to help those people. 

I personally have never rated Sheeran as a singer and would never attend any of his concerts - so I was fortunately spared being fleeced.

Well since I specifically asked you, K, why do you think anyone else would answer.

I'm afraid though that your reply illustrates how out of touch you are with the process of ticket buying for big concerts these days. Nobody who bought tickets from official putlets were denied access. Maybe a bit more research would convince you that the blame lies entirely with the industrial scale ticket touting that companies like viagogo engage in these days. I think there's pretty much universal admiration for the stand Ed Sheeran has taken on this subject and for the fact that his team are helping folk who have lost money through the process of getting it back. Your statement about him doing zilch couldn't be more incorrect. Think you need to get your facts right before making that sort of statement, regardless of what the many people you "personally know" may tell you. 

(You might even look at the link on the first reply to this thread -you're usually very keen to post links to news events.)

You may have your opinion M to which you are entitled. BUT . You have not lost hard earned money over a Sheeran concert. 

  My sympathies lie entirely with the victims,  obviously we won't agree.---  As far as I'm concerned now, any Ed Sheeran concert ain't worth the effort.---- I'm so glad I decided to give it a miss.

My sympathies also lie with the victims, K - those folk who paid the outrageous prices demanded by the likes of viagogo. But the facts are indisputable - no one who bought tickets from the official source lost money or was denied access. I absolutely understand why folk are so keen to see their favourite stars that they are pulled into paying for those tickets. But let's put the blame squarely where it late - and that is not with Ed Sheehan or any other artists come to that.

Do you disagree that the likes of viagogo should be outlawed, by the way? 

That's up to the courts to decide as you know.  Our opinion doesn't matter and will not influence a thing.  

 What is important is that a lot of people lost a lot of money over that Sheeran concert.   That should never happen again.

Ps who is this Sheeran is it man Edward? or woman  Edwina?

Who?.. IMO... A second rate singer singing second rate songs.    I'm afraid I'm unable to answer your question with any certainty about what the  Ed stands for.  

Hope this helps
