If you had joined the online queue at 1pm yesterday, there would have been 11 901 people ahead of you.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Speaking for Computicket, Sarita van Wyk said tickets had been sold \u201cat a faster rate than for any concert of this scale previously\u201d.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The pre-sales booking process caused problems. Fans said they had been kicked out of the online booking queue. Others complained they had paid for tickets that they had not received. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Van Wyk said these problems were due to timeout issues experienced with the banks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cWe can confirm that all pending authorisations were reversed and monies put back into the customers\u2019 accounts,\u201d she said. The band will perform in Joburg and Cape Town. <\/p>\n<p>\t  <!-- .aticle_column --><\/p>\n<p><!-- C-ON-TEXT_CONTENT_END --><\/p>\n<p><!--JavaScript Tag \/\/ Tag for network 585: IOL \/\/ Website: IOL Articles \/\/ Page: ROS \/\/ Placement: ROS-MPU-300 x 250 (4015147) \/\/ created at: Aug 23, 2012 4:14:03 PM--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/adserver.adtech.de\/adlink\/3.0\/585\/4015147\/0\/170\/ADTECH;loc=300;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;rdclick=\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/82c19_ADTECH%3Bloc%3D300%3Bkey%3Dkey1%2Bkey2%2Bkey3%2Bkey4\" border=\"0\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!-- End of JavaScript Tag --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.iol.co.za\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/0297d_sign-up.jpg\" alt=\"sign up\" class=\"images\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"sharinganchor\" id=\"sharinganchor\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t  \t\t <!--  .article_tool\" --><\/p>\n<p>\t            <a name=\"rated\" id=\"rated\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- Render the Comments --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 30 2012 at 10:00am By Mercury Reporters Singer Anthony Kiedis of the US band Red Hot Chili Peppers performs on stage on June 30, 2012 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris.
