Rufus Wainwright tickets

This is why they're called 'thermal tickets'

Yes, our tickets are made out of fresh Gremlins - put them in direct sunlight and they will burn.

We had it all at the Rufus Wainwright gig tonight. Burnt tickets... lost tickets... people who'd bought stolen tickets outside and had to be chucked out... and one poor lady who'd booked through Get Me Tickets and had been ripped off. Don't ever book tickets through them, they're a bunch of dodgy touts who source their tickets after taking people's orders - and often fail to deliver the goods, as our lady found out tonight. They've recently been investigated by Watchdog, as you can read here.

As for the guest list, well we had Damon Albarn in this evening, Keane's Tom Chaplin (and the family of one of the other Keane chaps), plus the Brighton contigent of the lovely Astrid Williamson and the ever-affable Tim Booth. The only downside tonight was that I didn't get to see any of the show!

Sorry you didn't get to see any of the show, sounds like you had an eventful night. That poor lady, stuff like that really sucks!

The burnt tickets are crazy - who ever would have thought!
