Is anyone looking for a spare TFI ticket tomorrow? I may have a spare. It's obviously free but I have to travel, so any help with train fare would be appreciated. Would need to meet me there at around 9.30am.

Don't be too impressed Horace...this is touting...this person might be an elo fan, questionable as they are going anyway and would have to pay their fare anyway to get there...so why do they ask for money...its selling a free ticket over and above the price paid...im not impressed cos I would love a ticket...but didn't get one...for someone to hog more than they need only to sell one, thats unfair on everyone that didnt get one...touting, making a profit...

Slightly extreme reaction. I was only making the point that touts in general weren't getting their hands on Porchester tickets. I made no comments on the ethics of the secondary ticket market in general, simply that there didn't appear to be one for Porchester. Incidentally I bought ONE ticket for Porchester, as I didn't have anyone who could definitely make it with me. I obviously applied for TFI in a bit of hurry, and applied for a pair not even knowing if I would get in and thinking as it was a free, there was more chance of getting a friend to go even if they were a casual fan. As it looks like I'm going by myself I thought I'd mention the spare. I wasn't charging for the ticket, but if someone I didn't know offered to get me in to a show, as has happened in the past, I'd expect to treat them to a beer. I've spent over £30 in train fare and just mentioned if you wanted to help towards that it would be appreciated. It was in no way compulsory. Sorry to have offended you. Consider it withdrawn. I'll let em know at the venue and they can give someone else the ticket.

Guys it would seem there are different opinions on this, let's stop the name calling and move on, this is after all a Jeff Lynne ELO forum and I don't know if you have noticed but there is plenty to talk about at the moment.
Thank you.

Thank you. I'm sorry this has happened. Incidentally, I told the staff I was by myself and they can reallocate the ticket, so I haven't done anything wrong. I'm so upset to be called those things. Think it's best I don't post here anymore. Ciao!

It's also a shame because this is a nice forum to be a part of.
I love you all!

Thanks nickheynes, I feel that eldorado's post regarding the ticket was sincere and well meant which is the reason why I didn't remove it. I can sympathise with some of thewordsofaaron's comments but I don't agree with the name calling which i will not tolerate. Anyway back to Jeff Lynne, I hear he played Livin' Thing and When I was a Boy.

Just back ... Received an email from SRO..... It is not on tonight.... More likely to be 20th Nov.
Top experience all round, intimate venue,, JL was in good form despite being under the weather...still hit that top note in Wiwab with relative ease. The band were excellent...same as Hyde park except with three female string players...very good performance of the two songs previously mentioned.
long day with a 5 am start...and m4 journey home was a nightmare but none of that matters.
No appearance from stereophonics despite what Kelly Jones said on radio 2....so may mean another tfi appearance I guess.
