:Bah, I say, bah! Easter egg! Now, I have no strong feelings on the story being invalid in general or the rulings that made it so. But I think this is a misreading of Moffat's approach. It's not literally "here's where it fits", but "here's where it ''can'' fit, if you're so inclined to place it". He gives options, he doesn't actually insist that things are in-universe connected. And I'm ''fairly'' confident on this. I just don't think this bit works. I have no strong feelings on the story in general.

::No, Moffat did say that. It's even mentioned at the start of this very thread! He did say "Here's where it fits, you can sleep at night," even if that's a smushed down, summarized version of the actual quote. Are you disagreeing with Moffat on the fact he said the thing he said? That's... a bit odd.
::Anyways, this is a very compelling case for validity. That ticket prop caught me off-guard. There was a huge attention to detail to even ''think'' to include that. The allusion to ''The ArcHive Tapes''' source material as a way to cover the fiction and separate it from the nonfiction is an incredibly good shout. I think you're onto something here. This '''should''' be valid! There's no other way around it for me!
::It's just a matter of how we choose to cover it. Does anyone have a DVD or CD copy of the Proms? Perhaps specific chapters / scenes on the discs are given titles. Something to look into!

:: Quite recently I found out about this story and I was genuinely going to write a page specifically about the pre-recorded bits, assuming this had genuinely fallen through the cracks. Good thing I saw you document the history of it before I did begin writing anything...
