Thanks for the reply rachel.
The e-mail about the wrong tickets was sent last Friday, but the re-issued tickets were sent today!
As i was did not want to miss SH, i thought i'd get another tcket on the day, but then i'm paying twice! so I think i'll give it a miss.

We are aware tickets have been sent or are likely to be with you shortly. We have been advised by the promoters that the tickets were printed on incorrect ticket stock, and are no longer invalid.
Please be re-assured that you will receive the correct tickets in time for your event. You will need to destroy the ‘eventim’ branded tickets you have when you receive your new tickets and these be valid for entry.
Sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused and we do hope you enjoy your event. If you have any queries please let us know.
