Your comments have just reminded me that about 4 years ago I had a similar experience with my mate and his daughter. They had my mates bank account details but still took the money from my account. On top of that, letters addressed to his daughter were being sent to my house. I had forgotten all about that tbh. The quicker they get these morons out and introduce a slicker system the better.
I suspect you might be right, if it is going through then announce the news to give fans time to buy tickets and take advantage of the situation.
