Bulldog2k, I wasn't trying to be testy, or insulting. If someone wants to throw numbers around they must expect there is a possibility they will be questioned. If you take the time to read the thread, you will see that if anything, I was defending FC/DF for the most part. It was only when it turned into an exercise in self-promotion that I questioned the numbers, although I do agree that calling Gupps/Guppy (are you sure thats your real name and not a pseudonym?) a liar may have been a bit strong. Especially now I know she's one of the sisters. As for soing SOMEthing right; I have always maintained that DF do a LOT right. I always admired Duncan, John (you may not remember John, but he wa the guy who set up the whole 'outside seller' system) and Ivan for the huge task of operating a nationwide network of sites, and for managing staff they rarely meet in person. However, the comments above are ones I have heard many times over the years, and not without reason.
I DO have an axe to grind against the ticket sellers, because they DO misrepresent, as do the ones that sell for that other crowd of chuff. That said, there is not much point moaning about something that is unlikely to change.
and Bulldog you're right, she is telling people more than they should expect, and perhaps more than she should.
One last thing: Gups/Guppy, why do you imply that I am operating under a pseudonym? As a sister in the business I thought you would have more consideration for a lady than that. Is it because I am fat? Better not be the other thing...
