The Mighty!

A friend bought an expensive ticket. Something serious happened and the friend was unable to go. I was asked, “Can you contact the Ticket Company and ask if I can get a full refund, and explain why.”
I love a challenge, and got to work, I looked everywhere for a phone number, none sadly could be found. All phone numbers found, they didn’t work, dead ends. It was a pointless roundabout, of hopes dashed!
I didn’t want to use emails, I wanted to speak to a real person and get my point across. I just wasted my precious time! It was Very annoying.
So, on behalf of my friend, I did the email. Before I pressed send, I took a picture and sent it to my friend, for their approval, all was well, then I sent it.
I waited and waited. I checked my emails over and over again. My friend wasn’t allowed to resell the ticket on their site.
The day of the event, they still didn’t have the decency to reply to my email. Why? Because they Know they are Mighty and have All the Power. They know they will never go Bust! The friend with the ticket, was small fry. A nobody, a nothing to them. It opened my eyes. Over the years, there would have been other small fries, little nobodies, Nothings to them. Their Customer Service is rubbish!
Sometimes in life, I wonder why does Such a Huge Company go bust? They seem too big to fall, yet some of them Do Fall! I would like to think, it is because they ignored, the invisible voices, that pleaded with them, that they ignored and didn’t give a second thought to!

Wealthy mates
Aww, have a heart! I'm sure the people at the ticket agency were only trying to fit in with their mates at all the other big organisations that have shown total disrespect for their customers in order to accumulate vulgar amounts of wealth.

Ticket trouble
Back in the day the perfomers would employ their own people to distribute and sell their tickets but now they keep their overheads down by washing their hands of the responsibility and handing it over to an agency. Inflated prices and unrealistic booking fees ensue to the detriment of the customer. So the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Taylor Swift, etc., it seems, are just as guilty of greed and neglect as the ticket agencies.
These days I only attend smaller, intimate events where I can buy tickets over the counter from a smiling human being at a box office. The way to put the ticket agencies out of business is to boycott them.
Starting this evening we have an eight day festival of international traditional dance in a big park in our city centre and admission is completely free. We'll be entertained by groups from every continent. Kop for that, Bruce Springsteen!
