A member on another forum picked up his tickets and included was a questionare... surely they wouldn't be that obvious?
Quote:
I have just been sent my e-ticket to most haunted live.
Now I am a bit concerned about something that
was included with the ticket.
It is a list of questions, and I don't think this is right.
There is a usual application for possible audience participation
Then it comes to the bit I am concerned about
these are the questions
Have you had a recent Bereavement? If yes, when?
Describe your personality in 3 words
What date do you have Mhlive tickets for
What question would you like to ask the team
It is essential that you enclose a recent photo
why would they want to know if I have had a recent bereavement and have a photo?
I can only surmise it is for the resident medium.
Do you think it is right to ask people these questions?
I am now seriously thinking of sending my ticket back.

I would suggest your ticket is returned by the next post. Alternately make up some answers to said questions and send photo as requested.

I suppose the question would be 'Is there a legitimate reason why they would ask these questions? or is this just fishing?

It only becomes relevent if the medium gives a reading during the MHL.

Well talk about being subtle, and this is anything but. I would do what barb said, feed them false info and if "chosen" by the medium play along till they finish with you THEN TELL EVERYONE what a fraud it really is. I reckon that would grab a few headlines, tho they would prob edit it out, so take a small dictaphone and record it. I almost wish i could go ;D

You should blag your way through giving answers that would suit a psychic who is a cold reader or generiser etc and if you get through ask a different question to do with the selection etc, that would f*ck em up a bit, maybe. Or they would just blank your answers and questions as the show only wants people who are good looking for tv/eg not humpbacks/ and conformists to earn commercial money etc.
Only my opinion. You should comlain to the television board offcom etc, maybe?

I think every member of the BP should buy a ticket, turn up, write a load of rubbish on these questions and then hand them in. The probability of them picking one of us would be high. That way they would have no choice by to give up the ghost so to speak.
Crushed.

A photo could be for general ID but the rest, I would be tempted to fill in fake info. If it was then announced, you could say in public that the info wasn't true...................

I would say as this show is for entertainment purposes only im not at liberty to answering personal questions which is nobody's business. If I choose to discuss a personal subject I would certainly not put it on a Questionnaire form for all and sundry to see.

Ofcom don't give a toss. Don't even bother with them. Karl Beatty Esq and the rest of them can do no wrong for them apparently.
Why not send a copy of the questionnaire to a national newspaper? Assuming that this would not be any sort of infringement that is. I mean, they bought a ticket right? Not signed a contract or a copyright agreement? I'm not a Sun reader myself, but I'd love to see what they would do with it! It could even be sent in anonymously,
What possible legitimate reason could there be for needing to ask these questions? At the very least, if they are innocent questions (which I doubt) then MH can't be surprised at them raising a few eyebrows, given the nature of the show. They are not doing themselves any favours are they? And yet again I find myself utterly staggered at their blatant arrogance.

By the way, having to 'apply to be an audience member' is enough to scare me off. I'm surprised they don't ask for a full C.V and a list of all your addresses from the last ten years too.
When I went to the Old Vic recently, all I needed to do was buy tickets...
Modified for stupid spelling mistakes!

It's the same principal we chatted about on the recent Sally Morgan thread in which she must have had prior knowledge of the man she had "messages" for. Possible a similar questionnaire was sent to her audience.
Not sure why they would do it for MH live, I don't think anyone does readings there do they? But handy in case they ever needed to "prove" their medium could chat to the dead
