I arrived this morning and was turned away as they said the event was ticket only and sold out, even though the original advertisment clearly states either pre-order your tickets, or pay on the gate (which I have done on perhaps three previous similar occasions) So unfortunately DRS, a big fat zero out of ten on this occasion!

Fortunately I hadn't traveled too far. Anyone else have the same problem?

It was reported on the DRS website a fair while ago it was to be advance tickets only following huge interest in the event....

DRS facebook on 26th May explained the situation "Tickets will need to be purchased in advance" and "Unfortunately tickets will no longer be available to purchase on the day" it was also on the news section of their website on the same day
