STOP WHISPERING, START SHOUTING

Dear Sir, I have a compaint...
Dear sir, I have a complaint....

Can't remember what it is....

Doesn't matter anyway...

Doesn't matter anyway...

(Well, no, actually, you know what.. IT DOES MATTER. AND THAT's what changed between 1990 and 2008. Cheers.)

Aris... one show will be good enough considering we're up against MOSAICO and BAPTISTE

I'm in too. Hopefully if there's enough of us there, radiohead may just put on an extra show for us!
- Aris

Han Hock and his mate are coming... 2 asian dudes in Japan... good luck finding them. Better talk loud guys

Sounds like plan.... see you guys there! keep fer a lookout fer 2 asian dudes that doesnt speak japanese!

- Han Hock

Joel's on his way already. And he is impressed. Just NOT with MOSAICO!

'The Hub' certainly sounds central... good work

See U all there



- Joel

Don't mess with Erin folks? Mosaico, do you HEAR US???

Sounds like a plan.

and if we don't have tickets, I say we march to the concert anyway and demand to see the show!

No one will argue with a mob, especially a drunken mob! ;-)

- Erin

Gotta love Li... the Radiohead show is a family outting for her! Brilliant!!!!

Hi,
Me, my daughter Mari and my hubby Dirk Michielsen will be there too.
- Li

The girl with the crazy purple hair but no ticket

Count me in. I'll be the girl with crazy purple hair.

- Louise

Damon's coming.... to the HUB.... to the SHow? mosaico???

Im there. Hopefully with a ticket.

- Damon

Matt's going to be there! Mosaico are you going to be there...?

Let's totally do it!! I'll be there!

- matt

Sveinung gets our act together - it's the HUB

Hey

We were talking about drinks before the show.

Well, let's get specific right here and now.

A place called The Hub is, I'm told, a short walk from the Municipal Central Gymnasium venue. It's open from midday and has food and drinks.

I'm a drinker, so let's say 4 pm, how's that?

How to find:

See you there

Hugh is coming up from Tasmania... Mosaico... help Hugh

I'm down in Tasmania, usually takes an extra day - so the whole 26th thing concerns me.
Because we fly on the 27th.
VERY concerned.
How is the express post service to Japan?
Maybe someone intelligent could write a letter to waste and we could all 'sign' it or something.
Totally up for pre's in Osaka.

THE SAME SHIP... sinking.... learn to swim OR storm the fence

hello, its concerning to know that we are all in the same ship.. which is sinking.. shit aye, Mosaico said my tickets will arrive on the 23rd, fly out 28th.
anyway I second pre drinks before hand.. so at least when we have to storm the fence we have numbers... if not then

goodluck, cause I heard those japanese are pretty feisty!!

Joel

Good luck Keith!

I am still hopeful that the ticket will arrive at my home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia before 25 Sept. when I plan to depart for Japan. I decided some time ago that I would make a proper trip out of this even if the ticket never arrived (not so optimistic after all???). It would be good to meet up with some of you who will be there whatever happens... I bought a standing ticket for 1 Oct. We could uh... stage a mini protest at the door if we don't get our tickets.

We should keep this discussion going especially if Mosaico fail to deliver and decide the best way to deal with the company.

take care folks,
-keith

HOW COULD MOSAICO BE POSSIBLE??

Hi,
We've already paid for the hotel and the plane tickets, but I still haven't got my concert tickets yet.
My husband called the Mosaico on 12 September and they said they were still waiting for the tickets. How could that be possible! We are leaving for Japan on the 27th and I really don't know what it's going to be like without the Radiohead tickets for the trip. It's supposed to be my birthday gift.

Li

Call the Police... the Karma Police - Zed's dead and Mosaico killed him.

Thanks David. I'd be interested to know if they reply.

Fellow friends, it's looking more and more like I will not make the show. My ticket is Oct 1st, Seat. I just cannot go ahead with all the further trouble and expenses without a ticket in hand or a firm date to receive it. Plane/ hotel would be non-refundable - and I was basically planning on flying in to Osaka JUST for the show, spending 12-16 hours there, and flying out.

So I'm going to cut my losses just with the ticket. This whole experience just doesn't feel right for me, and hasn't for a while now. Mosaico's total lack of professionalism in dealing with this matter... (a more optimistic gentleman among us mentioned that he was confident since Mosaico is a French company... not too sure what the logic is behind that... last I checked, the French have their share of fraudsters, criminals, baffoons and idiots among them. Alas, we all do)

Anyhow hopefully Mosaico will have the... decency... to refund me all or a part of the ticket's cost.

But if not (I'm not going to hold my breath) and I do end up getting the ticket a few days before the date (I won't be surprised if it reaches here in Beijing where I live on Oct 1st at 3PM....) I'm happy to ship it off to any one of you, for free, completely complimentary.

(Mon cher Baptiste, please feel free to chime in if either yourself or your 'colleagues' - if there any one there besides you, that is???? - ever do decide to be professional enough to reply to this chain of emails from your.... customers - please look that word up when you do get a chance...)

So let me know if anyone's interested. All I'll need is a mailing address.

- Z

Let's hope WASTE isn't a waste of David's time.... MOSAICO you have a lot of answer for.

I am going to email WASTE today

- David

Steven knows Mosaico is a MESS... anyone need tickets?

Would anyone like to buy 2 tickets to Radiohead Tokyo for Oct 5? We have to cancel trip unrelated to this Mosaico mess. I have the tickets in hand and will sell them at cost [9500 yen each] and send ASAP. Very sad. I would also like to sell 2 Osaka tickets to both shows but I don't have them!

- Steven

Han Hock... you have a good point dude

Looks like we have a Radiohead Anon going on here. It's amazing that im not the only one bustin my ass up and putting up some good money on the hope that the tix will make it to my doorsteps.
maybe it will make the trip more memorable no matter how this turn out.

- Han Hock Siew

Matt makes a Plan B: "If we don't get the radiohead tickets..." Mosaico can you see what you are doing to us????

If we don't get the radiohead tickets,

and we've already booked our flights to Osaka...

let's all totally meet up! for sure!

matt

Tim will KARAOKE.. whether he makes the Radiohead show or not... YOU KNOW IT.

Agreed, as much as I am worried, and I still haven't got my tickets, I would be very surprised if Radiohead's official supplier isn't able to pull through. I was looking for an email address of someone higher up the distribution chain, but the Radiohead site is typically difficult to use. Maybe if we emailed mosaico in fractured Thom Yorke half sentences...? But if anyone can find an email address for W.A.S.T.E or Radiohead's distribution maybe that would help.

Hopefully, the silence on their part means that they're frantically putting tickets in envelopes and have no time to respond to emails! See you all at the show if everything works out, otherwise I'm sure we'll all find each other on the night - we'll be the people drunkenly slurring Creep in a karaoke bar, with a tear rolling down our faces.
