Help! Ticketmaster cancelled our tickets!

[Mr.MouseFan]

Hey all!

I don't know what, if anything, I can do about this.

My friend and I are going to Atlanta to WrestleMania in April. Long story short, we altered our travel dates to arrive a day early because we were able to purchase VIP tickets to a meet and greet with their Superstar John Cena at their WWE Axxess fan festival. We received a call today notifying us that the VIP event was "oversold" and our tickets would not be honored. The event itself is not actually cancelled. The number of VIP tickets for the event were oversold. At this point, all of the other VIP meet and greet tickets for other sessions throughout the weekend are sold out and they cannot even offer us general admission tickets (that do not include the meet and greet with Cena) for the same day we originally booked for.

So, not only are we out tickets for the day we booked for. We are taking unnecessary days off from work and paying for an extra night in a hotel. What should I do? What can I do? So frustrated right now!

I would contact every WWE fan organization you can find, media(reporters, WWE-blogs, etc.) that cover the WWE, media (newspaper, radio, TV) local to where you live, wrestlers' fan groups, Atlanta-based media ...you can't be the only person this has happened to.
If you really want to get creative, make a good YouTube video about your plight...that will at least make you feel better and, you never know, something good for you and your friend might come of it.

By the way, I hate Ticketmaster.
