I’m pleased to
report everything seems to be done and dusted regarding our reinstated extra
Mostly Comedy on 22nd November with Jack Dee and Ivo Graham, with
all the original ticketholders successfully snapping up their original bookings
in under a day.

| My high-tech checklist. |
It was a relief
when I logged into our ticketing system yesterday at 9am to see people
were already re-securing their tickets as soon as they returned to sale. I
continued to keep an eye on it all day, answering the odd email query, while
making sure there were no administrative mistakes lurking that would lead to us
overselling, or to the wrong number of seats going to the wrong person to create inevitable chaos.
Thankfully
nothing like that happened; in fact, only one of the 48 individual ticketing
links had been sent to the wrong person, and that was the fault of the ticketing company and not me (smug face); this was swiftly resolved before
the proverbial doo-dah hit the proverbial doo-dah doo-dah day.
(I’m not sure
what happened just then.)
The best bit of all was every booking was snapped up in its entirety by the person who’d succeeded first-time around, so literally no-one missed out as a result of the gig
being cancelled and then reinstated; this was a huge relief, as the last thing
we wanted was to create any ill-feeling. It also didn’t cost anyone a penny
more than what they originally paid, as we covered everyone's booking fee; see, we’re
not that mercenary after all.
What I didn’t
expect was a string of lovely emails from people when they’d successfully
rebooked. One person said, “I hope you know how much folk appreciate all your
efforts with Mostly Comedy. It’s a really top quality night out everytime”; I
may print that out and keep it in my wallet.
