    Hi I am looking for n adult ticket for Saturday ticket 23rd November- if you can please help out, I would appreciate this. Will pay extra/ reasonable price, but not over the odds. Thanks

    Been trying since the day to get tickets from anyone, just one, and nothing… I can’t believe that the ticket’s would be sold out due to capacity, not when you look at events like the MCM Comic Con, must be due to the events they’re running like the workshops….
    Tickets should be offered for people who just want to go, not necessarily for the workshops etc. but just to be there for it!

    Anyway, if anyone by some unfortunate miracle has a ticket they can’t use any more then let me know.

      Hi!
      I got one adult tardis ticket that I wont be using on the 24th november. The ticket is a ice warrior entery group (9am). If you are interested you can get it for £100.
      I was planning on using it myself, but I needed two, unfortunately was only able to get hold of one.
      Hope this can help.

      Thank you for the offer Frida, but I entered the public ballot and I got what I needed (lucky!) and while a tardis ticket is ridiculously tempting, I better stick with my friends.
      I’m sure you will find someone to sell on to easily enough as you are being very fair and reasonable, unlike some!

    I have been looking all over the Internet looking for doctor who events to go to and now I find this 50th anniversary event that I didn’t know of but then I found all the tickets had sold out. If you have any tickets available (preferably 4) I would love it if me and my family could go to this cool looking doctor who event. Thank you.

    Still hopeful of family tickets for any day. Unable to purchase on the days of sale due to drunk-driver hitting telegraph poles and taking entire village off-line – it took BT 2 days to fix! Will pay reasonable price, but not interested in being over-charged.
