Applause Store Tickets

i had tickets to go see Britains got Talent this saturday at Birmingham, and already bought my coach and train tickets. But today i got an email saying that 'Your tickets have been cancelled, blah, blah, blah' as there is only 1000 seats.. but surely they cant just do that?

They said dont come as it would be a wasted journey? But what do you think? Think the tickets could still work?

I've got an e-mail from them saying I've got tickets for next Friday, they called me on Friday morning but I was asleep! Shall I call them to get everything double checked or will those printout thingys they sent in the e-mail be fine on the day?

I might just turn up to the london one with no ticket!

I've got my tickets now for Monday at 6.15pm Exciting!

But how early do we need to be there, my friend has a test at 4 (which she may/may not be able to do earlier), getting there as soon after 5 as possible wouldn't be early enough would it?

if your lucky then maybe.. but being there around 4:15-4:45.. would be more reasonable.

Has anyone else had their london tickets cancelled? i just got an email and i'm rather annoyed/upset.
'Dear Applause Store Ticket Holder,

It is with massive regret that we must CANCEL your tickets for the Britain's Got Talent Auditions in LONDON Friday evening - FRIDAY 30TH JANUARY 2009!

Unfortunately, despite the theatre capacity, there will only be around 3000 seats available due to the set and other equipment taking up almost 25% of the seating area!

The cancellations for this show have been chosen by our computer completely at random and that the situation, unfortunately, will not change.

Please do not turn up on the day with your unique e-ticket as all tickets will be scanned and you will have a wasted journey. '

So I've got Priority etickets for 3 people to see "let's do Christmas with Gino and mel"
It says arrive no later than 3:00.
Do I need to go a lot earlier as many sites are saying that you need to get there hours before?
Does the fact that I'm priority change this ?

You shouldn't need to go a lot earlier no, I'd get there maybe half an hour before the time on your ticket just to be sure. (What I did with the priority tickets I had and it was fine)
