@mori_kazutaka @DougAMacgregor Correct, flights were due to end at the start of April anyway. They did the same last year. Poor explanation from @British_Airways which paints a false narrative.

@ymcofficial @EtharaLive @TicketmasterME how can I get a refund on my #AbuDhabiGP tickets. You charged me nearly 5000aed for 2 x early bird hill tix and are now selling them in general sale for 3400aed. I’m furious.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@ymcofficial @EtharaLive @TicketmasterME the early #AbuDhabiGP ticket sale is very misleading. Price has gone up anyway from last year but also from the first day of pre-sale. 1900aed for a hill ticket on Thurs to 2500aed today. No explanation of the “phases” Very unethical.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@ymcofficial @EtharaLive will we be getting a survey about the #AbuDhabiGP #yasalam as I would like to share the many bad experiences I had over the weekend. I’m very tempted not to attend again which would be sad given I have been to every race since it began.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

So @tawzeaofficial have you lost my EID or what? Your customer service is terrible, you don’t return calls even though you say you will. Next complaint will be to @UAEICP

@alghailany49 @eAndUAE My internet has gone back to how it was a couple of weeks ago. Can’t stream anything. Buffering happens every 20 - 30 seconds. Funny how there is not internet issues at my workplace.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@eAndUAE Why can I be in work all day with no issues on the internet but as soon as I get home I can’t even get Netflix to work properly. Streaming is impossible and apps all run slow. Everything works at 6am then all stops. Bet if I want to pay my bill online there will be no issues!

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME Just wondering what steps you took to void the tickets that were purchased by scammers/scalpers given Facebook and X is full of so called fans trying to get rid of them above face value. It’s very frustrating for those who were unable to purchase tickets when they went on sale

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

Saw @teddyswims at the @YasalamAE concert last night, all I can say is wow! Had heard stuff on the radio but had to add the album on my Spotify as soon as I got home. Will definitely be catching him live again. He was brilliant! Perfect start to the @F1 weekend #AbuDhabiGP

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME It goes to show how bad this system is, when as you can see at 16:02 UAE time, this is my place in the queue even though it’s sold out!

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME Got to Zero, no seats of any kind. (I need seats as my daughter is under 14) Even tried one standing ticket and it said none available. What a joke this whole thing has been.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@schuumachers @TicketmasterME I don’t know why they can’t limit it to UAE residents only.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@schuumachers @TicketmasterME New date just announced and I’m 17000+ in the queue. I clicked the link and the show didn’t even appear. By the time it did that’s my place in the queue.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME Just so I don’t waste another several hours can you confirm that there are still silver tickets available for all days? As I have a 12 year old who wants to attend, I have to be seated. Between me, my wife and eldest daughter we have spent nearly 20hrs in queues without success

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@LiveNationME So just so I don’t waste another several hours can you confirm that there are still silver tickets available for all days? As I have a 12 year old who wants to attend I have to be seated.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME @coldplay Thanks, got to my turn and no tickets left, switched dates and get 126,512 ahead of me. Guess I will give up. Going to see your favourite bands is supposed to be fun but @TicketmasterME take the joy out of it.

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME @coldplay Another day of disaster. My 12 year old wants to go so limited to seats only. Sunday none available, I’m in the queue for Saturday with not much hope and wife in the queue for Tuesday with 20,000 ahead of her. Absolutely shocking that UAE residents are not given priority!

[Martin Graeber @MartinGraeber]

@TicketmasterME Well after nearly 4hrs in the queue this is what I get. Absolutely shocking. Thanks @TicketmasterME . #ColdplayAbuDhabi
