6 weeks ago, I bought and paid for tickets for the V festival this weekend. As of this morning I had still heard nothing other than the tickets had been delayed. I emailed and got no response but I did get through on the telephone this morning to be told that it would be a pick up at the venue affair. I told the gentleman that having read the reviews online, I was making my way to their office so someone could explain to me in person. He said I was welcome to do so but the tickets weren't at the office, I would only be able to get them at the venue. I went down and was given my tickets then and there. He explained that they only received the tickets themselves in batches and hence the delay. In short, if you're lucky enough to live nearby, go in and get the tickets - don't be put off if they say they don't have them.
