Disappointing day out AIBU

I went to see Jeremy Kyle being filmed. I had to turn up early with no guarantee of a seat but as I was one of the first in the queue I luckily got in as was queuing from the night before. Wish I hadn’t now or gone on another day because it was a show about inspirational children and a reunion of a father and son. Erm.. I wanted fights and arguments and a laugh! Is there anything I can do? Has anyone else had the same thing happen? If I email and explain my disappointment do you think they will send me guaranteed tickets to a more dysfunctional shoe? Just my luck really! 🙄

Why on earth would you want to watch people fighting Confused or watch jeremy Kyle in the first place, I presume this is a joke thread?

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 20/07/2018 11:00

Ooh... I’ll be the first goat trip trapping over the bridge!

I’m not a troll and not new, I’ve NC.

Hahaha, got to be a wind up. Like anyone would queue all night to watch Jeremy Kyle!

Buildabear · 20/07/2018 11:02

Name changed to say you wanted to see people manipulated and humiliated on tv. Ok.

LolaDolly · 20/07/2018 11:02

Yawn.

You'll need to try harder than that.

Maybe start a bun fight about SAHM vs WOHM or breast feeding. They are always guaranteed a reaction.

Anxious2niteaaah · 20/07/2018 11:02

Is this a joke?...if you want to watch fighting go back and be in the studio audience again...

Sirzy · 20/07/2018 11:03

I presume this is meant to be “lighthearted”

HilaryBriss · 20/07/2018 11:03

I would know what you mean, I would be disappointed if I got seats and ended up watching a show like the one you describe being filmed.

I guess you could email and ask them but you will probably be told that they can't guarantee what they will be filming on the days you have tickets for.

NewGrandad · 20/07/2018 11:03

I would queue overnight to see a dysfunctional shoe

notanurse2017 · 20/07/2018 11:04

Am I right in thinking that this was free for you, Op?

AppleKatie · 20/07/2018 11:05

Really? You queued all night for J.K.?

No you didn’t. People don’t even queue all night for strictly and that’s good...

Dadsbigsausages · 20/07/2018 11:06

Op I understand, my friend loves this show. If you go expecting the typical theatre and find out it's a different show entirely (these positive shows are unusual) I can see why you would be disappointed.

I have no idea if you can apply for tickets again. They are free aren't they?

Snowysky20009 · 20/07/2018 11:06

Who in their right mind watches Jeremy Kyle????? What a load of trash.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 20/07/2018 11:07

Give over! You queued all night? For JK? 🤣🤣

TheNewJanBrady · 20/07/2018 11:08

The tickets were free which is why I don’t think there’s much I can do other than be told try my luck again but wondered if similar had happened to others

TheNewJanBrady · 20/07/2018 11:08

Not all night but from very early hours

Must be like finally getting tickets for Oprah the day after she gave everyone a car.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 20/07/2018 11:09

I doubt there'll be many people on here with the same problem somehow OP 🤷‍♀️

Phosphorus · 20/07/2018 11:09

Nobody queues all night for that rubbish.

I'm pretty sure they have to hunt for people to give tickets to -students and the like.

It really isn't nice to make fun of the people whose lives end up that way.

NightRaven52 · 20/07/2018 11:11

If this was true surely you would post about it when the recording took place, not when the episode aired... the shows aren't live Confused

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 20/07/2018 11:15

When I was very much younger... I was taken on a date, to the Vanessa Show 😂

There was no queuing, it was a ticketed, timed event.

I also went to watch TOTP once, again... no crazy queuing.

Who in their right mind would queue to see JK?? No wonder you name changed 🙄

ilovesooty · 20/07/2018 11:19

You actually enjoy watching fighting and dysfunctional processes?

I can see why you'd not want that associated with your regular username. Hmm

Matutinal · 20/07/2018 11:21

do you think they will send me guaranteed tickets to a more dysfunctional shoe?

If I ever wondered about whether the IQ of the average Jeremy Kyle audience member was smaller than their shoe size, I know now.

No need to queue. Just find the roughest pub in your town and sit outside in the car park at closing time. Or hang around an A&E waiting room on a Saturday night.
