This is fantastic!

David-78 said on July 9, 2010 15:26:

According to Urban Stamming on Race Legends, is it NOT decided yet if the Race tickets will be valid for the concert in Halmstad.
Decisions shall be taken at the beginning of next week.

CRIZ said on July 9, 2010 16:25:

You are crazy!! You are the best! You rock! I kiss you!
And now it would be also top and great if these Race tickets would be valid please!!!! They have been so damned expensive!!!!!!!

daniel_alv said on July 9, 2010 16:31:

Great solution, now I want to go to the concert to.

David-78 said on July 9, 2010 17:10:

really strange, yes!! I called Urban at 3 PM today and he said to me that they will decide next week, if the Race tickets will be valid for Halmstad or not.
haha... same confusion as always with this event!!

You are FANTASTIC, Marie and Per!! Thank you:-)) Could we get better news?? I think no!!!!

ted_rox said on July 9, 2010 19:48:

what about the biljettnu tickets are they vaild too???
I havent seen anything about them
know anything Tev?

Nixie said on July 9, 2010 21:20:

The biljettnu concert tickets must of course be valid too, right? Biljettnu was the official (and originally the only) ticket partner for the concert tickets. When Anderstorp concert tickets are said to be valid for Halmstad, that must be the case for all Anderstorp concert tickets - no matter where they were bought.

Biljettnu by the way still has Roxette in Anderstorp on their front page http://www.biljettnu.se/ but the link doesn’t work anymore.

@Roxvet: As far as I’ve heard: no.

tevensso (moderator) said on July 10, 2010 11:15:

Existing Biljett.nu tickets are OK, but new tickets from Biljett.nu won’t be, so yes, your ticket is valid.

Mannen med gitarr said on July 10, 2010 11:49:

“ONLY concert tickets bought for the concert in Anderstorp will be valid for the concert in Halmstad, NOT race tickets, and additional tickets will ONLY be sold via Ticnet,NOT Biljett.nu.”

So.. is this the truth? Where does this info come from? I just called Urban Stamming again and now he had changed his answer since yesterday. Now he did not know if the combinated race and consert-ticket would be valid in Halmstad.. An answer of this should come up on their website in the begining of next week. But how is it possible to sell new tickets to Halmstad when they aren’t sure if they have 6 000 more already sold valid tickets?
Who can answer me NOW before Thusday when the new tickets are released? Must I have to buy a new ticket only because of that..? I think all ticket-sales on Thusday should be advanced until all information of this is 100 % sure and everybody have the same opinion about which tickets are valid?
If there is 9 000 tickets sold for the consert, how many of the rest 6 000 sold tickets are sold to people who wanted to see the race only? How many here on this forum have the combinated ticket for both race and consert? The reason why I bought this sort of ticket was just because it was released one week before the consert-tickets that should be released limited. Limited.. hmmm, 9 000 tickets are sold, so that was just a marketing-trick to sell more of the expensive tickets...

I hope it’s not only me who have this problem? 800 SEK for a ticket I can’t use, and then I have to pay 500 SEK more for a new ticket... that’s NOT funny...! Stop the ticket-release on Thusday and give an official statment for which tickets that are valid!! Anyone who think the same?
Hope someone had patience to read this! I just want this to be fair for us who have tickets, it’s not our problem that The Race Legends have economy-problems..

Rox1e88 said on July 10, 2010 12:30:

rox1e88
I did the same thing as you did! I bought 4 tickets from race legends because they were released earlier... I gave 3 away as birthdaygifts and now it seems like I have to bit 4 new ones... expensive gifts I’ll say...
Never mind. Just as well to buy new tickets - it’s the concert that’s most important. I am just happy that there’ll be a concert!

Mannen med gitarr said on July 10, 2010 14:17:

Yes, IT IS hard to understand when you get different answers from everyone you ask! I have also talked to Live Nation, and they told me that ALL tickets are valid, even when I asked twice about this race-ticket, just to be sure. So that is a lie, or?

Roxvet said on July 10, 2010 16:18:

Ok. I’ve got two ’3 Days’ tickets for The Race Legends too. Firstly, this is not a big problem for me. I’m thinking to denounce ’ The Race Legends ’ for breach of dates and contents in his event, if I don’t get a ticket refund.

The big problem for me and all the nonSwedish people will be to get Brottet tickets in ticnet.se. If you try to get Roxette’s Sundsvall concert tickets, you’ll see you can’t pay them because you need a Swedish Bank Account. It seems you can’t buy a ticket with a credit card. Have anyone bought Sundsvall tickets outside Sweden?

So I hope (I pray), Brottet tickets will be available for people outside Sweden.

sorry to repeat but just to be sure

“Existing Biljett.nu tickets are OK, but new tickets from Biljett.nu won’t be, so yes, your ticket is valid”
that means that my ticket bought in February from biljett nu are vaild??
but the ones who buys tickets during the next days from biljettnu- those tickets are not vaild.
right???

ktoto said on July 10, 2010 23:38:

How can this all be so confusing? how the hell can the people from the race be so unprofessional? I think the same Mannen...

We, people from other countries, might not even be able to get a new ticket for the Halmstad gig, because at least for the Sundsvall concert that is only possible with a Swedish bank account... and it will be the same sites selling the tickets: ticnet and livenation.

Anyone can tell in advance if they will make the Halmstad tickets available for people outside of Sweden?

Update: sorry, it is possible to pay with credit card if you choose to pick up at a TicnetOmbud instead of ATG!

Anyone said on July 11, 2010 08:13:

@roxvet @ktoto
We are from Germany and we bought tickets for Sundsvall !!!
I kept asking questions on the Ticnet-Website and they really did help me. Finally we paid by credit card (Visa). We bought the tickets six weeks ago, so I do not exactly remember how it worked. They do not accept email bookings. We had to book on the website, than had to choose delivery mode “Ticnet Outlet”. They do not send the tickets by mail, but they told me that they will hold them for us. I explained that we can only collect them (in one of their outlets), when we come to Sweden beginning of August and they replied this would be ok. I have an order confirmation with a booking number, the amount was debited to the account, so I think this will work.

@Per + Marie
We also have tickets for Anderstorp. Moving the show to Halmstad is the perfect solution. Thank you so much!!!
We have organised a two weeks vacation around both of the concerts, including trips to other places in Sweden. This costs a fortune. I am so happy, that you know and respect your fans, and that you did not just cancel the show, as other artists would have done. Thank you. Love.

CRIZ said on July 11, 2010 09:39:

I really hate this ticket chaos now but it seems to me that the Race tix just can not be valid cause this criminal Urban..whatever is surely not able to pay the artists.
So what now...I have a Race Ticket for a show with some old ex- race drivers I don’t care a thing about and I ’m sure this event won’t even take place May 2011 because NOBODY would go there and the company is surely already bankrupt. They won’t give us the money back and that makes me sooooooooo angry..angry that I got fooled and that I didn’t listen to my inner voice which warned me right from the beginning after the first ticket confusions.
Anyway, not the fault of Rox and their management. I ’m just angry...if I now won’t get tix for Brottet I ’ll have to stay at home with over 250 € I’ ve spent for NOTHING!!! :(

Roxerally said on July 11, 2010 20:48:

I bought tickets for the Sundsvall show as well and I’m in the UK. I bought my tickets from ticnet.se a few months ago via the phone. I called the ticnet call centre, for non Swedish speakers they have an option to speak to someone who speaks English and technically they don’t accept credit cards from outside Sweden, you have to do a bank transfer from your own bank to their bank in Sweden which takes about two days. You order the ticket or tickets dependent on how many you want and they reserve them for you with a unique reference number. They give you the total amount due in SEK with postage costs and a reference number and their banking details, you then have 48 hours to start a bank transfer. The tickets are then posted to you; I got my tickets within about a week!

However if we can buy tickets on Live Nation.se then for the EHM tour we could buy tickets from outside Sweden online with our credit cards and print our tickets off ourselves at home which is cheaper and so much easier, so I am hoping we have this option for the Halmstad show when tickets go on sale on Tuesday.

I’m emailed Live Nation this evening to ask them, so I’ll let you know what they say when they get back to me!

BTW:-

I doubt anyone is going to be getting money back from the organisers of ‘The Race Legends’ who hold the three day race tickets, because by the sounds of it the company are on the verge of Bankruptcy... people who paid with credit cards should contact their credit card companies they may be covered for getting there money back that way!

It looks like even P&M are not getting their money for the 9800 tickets sold for the Anderstorp show, so they are technically partly performing this Halmstad show for free, how many artists would do that for their fans!

randall said on July 11, 2010 22:57:

my biljettnu ticket was 605:-, the new tickets cost only 500:-, do they give the difference back? i guess this too much to ask for, the difference is too little but still, it’s something!

Mr_Floppy said on July 12, 2010 02:50:

Thanks Roxerally and daniel_alv for some very helpful infos here.

However, I have a 3-days-racing ticket as well and if successful or not, at least I’m trying to get the money back from this damn RaceLegends-organisation. And I only can encourage everybody in the same situation to do the same. Don’t make it that easy for them!!!

Roxerally said on July 12, 2010 07:40:

My original plan was to avoid Anderstorp! I had a feeling something would go wrong with this concert and venue... Still managed to get some decent accommodation in Halmstad for three nights no problems and flights were fairly cheap to Copenhagen so looking forward to an additional trip out there now! Never actually stayed in Halmstad, visited it many times but never stayed for a few nights so it’s kind of exciting! :)

tevensso (moderator) said on July 12, 2010 09:04:

I as well decided to sit Anderstorp out, too much fishy things going on. Glad I did. Sad for the ones who didn’t. It will be somewhat interesting to see if this race actually takes place in May 2011. My guess is that it won’t.

daniel_alv said on July 12, 2010 09:53:

@randall: I don’t think you can get 105 SEK back since you accually are getting what you payed for. In that case you would have to take the fight with them and get all money back and then buy a new ticket. When a company lower their prices the ones that bought for the higher price in generally doesn’t get the difference back.

Also I would like to add that if the company accually is going bankrupcy it will be hard to get the money, but since they have postponed the race and not cancelled it they atleast have to have some money. They must have some money left, otherwise they would have to file for bankrupcy. I would atleast try to get the money back if I had a 3day ticket.

Mannen med gitarr said on July 12, 2010 11:23:

sleepingSingle: I got the same answer from Urban Stamming at TRL when I called him two days ago, Saturday. Something is going on, yes, but what? To make sure that I can see this consert I have to buy new tickets tomorrow, who knows if TRL ever will do anything.. I don’t trust Urban and TRL at all.. I hope for an answer from TRL this afternoon!

helen_prag said on July 12, 2010 12:08:

Good for Swedish tourism.:-)
I am really happy that the concert is not cancelled.

CRIZ said on July 12, 2010 15:25:

Got this answer from The Race Legends:
Hello!

Right now we are working to solve this.

We are doing everything we can to make sure that everyone who have a race ticket will be able to see the Roxette concert in Halmstad
on the 14th of August.

As soon as more information is available it will be announced on our website www.theracelegends.com
______________

As soon...I just don’t believe them......
Would be cool if the new Rox-Tickets selling would start maybe a bit later.......Otherwise this could get my most expensive Roxette concert I’ve ever visited!!!!

CRIZ said on July 12, 2010 16:13:

Men jag har ingen förståelse kvar!!! Absolut igen!!!

How will they really solve this problem when they are not able to pay Per and Marie and the band etc...?.(if this is true)

picula said on July 13, 2010 15:26:

Hi roxers!!!

I was very dissapointed this weekend when I read about the Race Legends fiasco. I thank roxette so much to take care of the fans and move the concert to Halmstad, many of us were going to travel from other countries all over the world just to see them on stage.

I wrote to [email protected] and they told me first that they would do their best to try to solve the problems with the validation of the Race Legends tickets, so that the ones who bought the 3-day access (that’s my case) could go to the new roxette concert in Halmstad. But they weren’t sure at all.

I wrote to the girl that sent me via e-mail my reservation confirmation of my Race Legends tickets payment to the Race Legends event. She told me that the tickets would be valid for the new concert in Halmstad.

I wrote to Livenation too, cause the english version of their website dind’t say that our kind of tickets were not valid. They didn’t answer me, but today is said in their website that the only valid tickets for the new roxette concert are the concert-only Race Legends tickets. This sucks!

I didn’t know which was the correct information. So necessarily, as many of you, I had to buy today two new tickets for the Roxette concert in Halmstad in order to be sure that my husband and I could go to the concert... so I’ve expended a lot of money by the way. Now I have my two 3-days access Race Legends tickets which included the Roxette concert too, plus the two new Roxette concert tickets that I bought today. That’s 4 tickets, and I don’t even know If the first ones will be finally valid for the Roxette concert in Halmstad because every information is so confusing. Probably, I made a silly thing buying the new two tickets, but who knows... I’m happy to have these two new tickets!

Now I can only wait to see what happens and try to get my Race Legends tickets refund, cause I bought two tickets that included the access to the Race Legends Event and to the Roxette concert. I don’t understand why the concert-only tickets sold for the Race Legends event are the only valid tickets. The organisation can’t change things like this, it’s not legal.

It’s not what I paid for and I will claim my money.... all of you should do the same.

Rox on!

Hi! I’ve bought 4 tickets to the 3 days race legends so I could go the concert. Fave away 3 as birthdaygifts ( not so great now...) That meens that I also bought new tickets yesterday when the tickets were released. Lots of money thar really could have come to bettet use...
I wrote to race legends yesterday - demanding my money back- and they haven’t sent me an answer yet. All of us who have these useless racetickets must keep pushing them to buy the tickets back!!!
