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

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.
