June 2, 2008 - Amsterdam, Netherlands (Amsterdam Arena)

[WendyB]

 

If that's the case then I'm glad I didn't wait until Saturday. Sorry for those who didn't get the seats they wanted though

[I Surrender]

There are still really good seats available through Team Celine. But you can only get 2 tickets each. I needed 6 so I couldn't use it.

[Dionesque]

Now I'm totally pissed off!!!!

 

I several times I got offered good seats (section A or some front rows in section B ) but each time I wanted to pay and entered my credit card details - it keeps rejecting my card!!!!!

 

I'm so angry!!! I'm sure my card is ok, I paid with it for all the other tickets I bought recently and even today I paid with this card for some goodies in internet!!!

 

So WTF is going on????? I even can't call them 'cause it's a 0900 number and I think it's impossble to call this number from abroad!!!!

 

I'm ANGRRRRRRYYYYY!!!! :( :(

[Davey84]

maybe you've reached your limit, due to all the ticket buying!

 

It sucks though!!! :( maybe you can send them an email?

[I Surrender]

It could take a while before they answer ur email. They suck when it comes to answering emails.

At least you have 6 concerts to look forward to.

I'm sure I haven't reached my limit - I'm far from this.

And I'm also sure I have enough money on my bank account.

 

It really looks that there is some problem at ticketservice.nl side - they just apologinze and ask me to try later! Grrrr!!

But I already tried like 4 times and always the same problem.

 

Yeah, most of those services are lame when it comes to answering e-mails, that's why I prefer telephone calls - I need to find a normal phone number for them (not the 0900 but just a regular number in the city where their office is)

[Davey84]

this is the number of the head office, here in The Hague,

+3170-4169333

 

But I don't know if they can help you there... cos they are not really about sales... but you can always try! Good luck!

[Dionesque]

Thank you Davey, I'll give it a try!

 

By the way, I don't think that the entire A section is sold out. I've been offered some seats in this section after I Surrender wrote that this section is sold out.

 

And there is this note on the site:

 

"Let op: Soms zijn tickets niet voor alle prijs categoriën en secties verkrijgbaar."

 

So it's like at the other ticket sellers: they don't give all tickets for sale at once, they are releasing some blocks of tickets from time to time.

[Davey84]

I think for this presale, only a limited amount of the A section was available, another block will go on sale in 1,5 hour, on livenation.nl the rest on saterday,.. at least that's what I think...

 

I hope you can be helped with that number!

[Dionesque]

ARGH!!!

 

I just called them and a guy told me that they ae receiving the same question from many other people and there is no way to solve this problem! WTF!!!!

 

He said it's because many people are trying to buy tickets so it's just a matter of luck if I get tickets or not and I just have to try, try and try 'til I succeed!!! What a bull**t!!!!!!

 

I thought when I choose seats which I want to get, they are reserved for me for at least 3 minutes and I'm sure I was faster than this as I already was logged in my account at ticketservice!!

 

That's so ANNOYING!!!!

 

 

Ah, and I tried to register myself at LiveNation but never got the confirmation e-mail... So I registered with another e-mail and still no confirmation e-mail!!!

 

What an annoying service!!! GOSH!!!!.....

 

I will be soooo happy when I finally get my tickets as it's the last concert I'm trying to get tickets for!!! But it seems to be the long way will I get the tickets......

I'm sorry but that's what they told me when I phoned them. They didn't tell me the truth then so it seems.

[ZoraSourit]

Getting tickets has been a lot of fun... But it is sooooooooooo stressing. I hate this method of the ticket selling sites. Here in Portugal we have a site that allow you to choose the seats. For example, They show you a seating plan and all the seats available and you mark the seats you want.... THis kind of best available and price available or block available sucks big time... at least they should allow you to choose the section.

[Dionesque]

I agree, in Germany the Eventim.de also got seat charts for almost all events and you can exactely chhose where you want to seet and see if the seats are available or not.

 

Anyway, I wouldn't mind this ticketservice.nl system so much if it would allow me buy tickets!! But noooo way!!! Grrrr!!

 

It seems I will have to wait for tickets to appear on eBay, that's insane!

 

At ticketservice.nl I'm getting my card rejected and at LiveNation there I haven't got any confirmation e-mail to activate my account and the guy in their office said they can't do anything about it! He said it may be in my spam folder but that's not the case as I have NO spam folder at all and I get ALL emails but the LiveNation one!....

 

I'm sooooo MAAAADDDD!!

[Dionesque]

Anyone knows how I can get tickets for Amsterdam outside of TicketService??

 

I finally got confirmation e-mail from LiveNation but their presale goes through TicketService as well and I keep on having this credit card problem!!!!....

 

I soooo neeeeed good tickets for this show!!!

Damn, if I'd have Dutch bank account!!!.....

[LD1977]

I would say: let me try it from here, but I guess I will have the same problem as you with your creditcard. Do you know someone else who has a creditcard you can try???

[LD1977]

Congrats on your tickets, Wendy!!!!

[Dionesque]

I'm close to tears!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I spent my whole damn day at this ticketservice site and could even get row 8 in section A but OF COURSE the payment point failed again!!!

 

I'm soooo upset and disappointed and angry!!!...

 

No, I don't have another credit card and I don't think the problem is with the card as I always pay with it in real shops and in internet and NEVER got any problem with it!!!

 

It's that goddamn ticketservice!!! WTF service is THAT!!!!!.......

[I Surrender]

maybe the dutch ticketservice doesn't accept foreign creditcards.

[Dionesque]

That would be stupid - the point of credit card is that you can use it internationally and I think there were some other people from this forum who don't live in NL and have bought the tickets with their credit cards....

 

I'm sooo SAD!!....

 

I Surrander, you said there are still good tickets available at TeamCeline - what seats exactly you can get there? What section and row is available now?

[ZoraSourit]

Last time I checked you could still get row 7 on block A.

[I Surrender]

Yep I saw seats in A6 I think. I am just really bummed I couldn't book them through team celine.

I am a member but I need 6 tickets and they only allow 2 each. Now I'm in B10.

[Dionesque]

@ I Surrender: And what row are these tickets in A6??

 

Anyways, I decided with my husband that I will travel alone to Amsterdam so if I get 2 tickets, I will probably take my friend to the show who offered that I can stay at her son's home.

 

But first I need to get the TICKETS or at least ONE ticket for myself!!!!!

 

I think I will have to try eBay later as it seems I have no chance to get the tickets via ticketservice...

 

 

Anyone of you ever bought concert tickets from eBay??

I mean, of course they are usually more expansive as the original price at ticketservice etc. but I'm asking about your experiences - do you think it's safe??

[marije81]

hi everyone!!

i am new here,and just tought it would be fun joining this forum,becouse i love celine too!

well,i am happy i can see finaly see celine live for the very first time on june 2nd,2008!!

[Dionesque]

Hello Marije!

 

Hartelijke groetjes uit Duitsland & welcome to this great forum!

 

As you can read here, I haven't succeed in buying tickets today off ticketservice so I think I will have to try some other ways later... I really want to be in Amsterdam at her concert!!!!!!

 

As for your seats - it's on the ground (veld) and you will be about 19 rows away from the stage.

 

Here is the plan of the sections in ArenA:

[I Surrender]

It was row 4 but that was this morning.

[marije81]

thanks for welcoming me! yeah,i saw the map of the arena,and i guess i don´t have the best seats,wished i had section A! but i should be happy i suceeded in getting tickets. i think i will have a pretty good view on the stage from where my seats. are. dionesque; i realy hope for you that you suceed in getting tickets for the show soon! if i can help ya in anyway,just let me know ok!

[WendyB]

maybe the dutch ticketservice doesn't accept foreign creditcards.

I'm from the UK and had no problems paying with my (UK) credit card - I know this doesn't help Dionesque.

 

I wonder if some sort of block has been put on the card because Dionesque has tried to use it so many times today. It might be worth phoning the bank/credit card company. They sometimes do this if they think someone may be using the card fraudulently - in your case, Dionesque, trying to use it many times in a very short space of time.

 

Congrats on your tickets, Wendy!!!!

Thanks are due to you, Laura - without your help I'd still be biting my nails worrying about tomorrow

Well, I checked this out and my card is active, no blocking done on it or something... So I think it's really ticketservice problem and not a problem with my card.

 

Anyways, do you think there will be some tickets for Amsterdam available on eBay??

 

I know they may be more expansive there but it would be also be a good chance to get some good seats!...

 

So far I haven't seen any auctions for Amsterdam but maaaany for UK and German shows.

I would think so, especially after the General Public sale starts tomorrow. I think a lot of people will be buying tickets just so they can sell them on (at a profit, of course). I don't think it's fair, but that's life. I have no idea who I'd choose to buy from off eBay - I've never got tickets that way. Maybe someone else on here could help?

[Dionesque]

I think so - the tickets may appear on eBay after they go on sale for general public so maybe some autcions will start on weekend or next week.

 

Of course, the tickets are more expansive then at ticketservice but seems I got no other way... grrr... And maybe I will be able to get some good seats in A section instead - I'm really determined to sit in this and no any other section!

 

I'm not looking for other tickets on eBay as I already got tickets for all the other shows I want to see and I'm quite satisfied with my seats, esp. with my front row seats in Antwerp and Berlin!
