I booked a couple of tickets through the See tickets website several months ago. Someone said that they don't issue them until nearer the time of performance to stop people from touting them but how near to a performance do they issue them? I'm going down to London in just under three weeks and I want my tickets before I leave.

It can be up to a week before with See. It is a worry but i've never been let down by them.

Well I just hope I get them before I leave. I don't think I'll book with them again as I prefer to have my tickets in plenty of time so I don't have to worry.

How are you supposed to check that the booking is correct if you don't receive the tickets until shortly before the performance? If something goes wrong I want to know about it as soon as possible, while there's still time to fix it.

In my opinion anyone interested in improving himself should not rule out becoming pure energy.

I've had this with See as well and find it annoying. I can't help feeling that the "tout thing" provides a bit of a convenient excuse. I'd feel less put out about it if they refrained from debiting my card/cashing my cheque until the last moment too! When I pay for most things I expect to see them reasonably immediately - not to have the seller sitting on my money and earning interest on it while I don't have so much as a receipt - which is, effetively, what a ticket is. A dubious practice I'd say.
