.htaccess rewrite based on referrer

I'd like to direct all traffic coming from a particular domain (foo.net) to the homepage of my website (http://www.bar.net/index.php). I've tried many, many ways of doing this, some of which crash the site, others of which simply don't work. However, I can now reliably get it to direct to google.com or bbc.com using the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?foo\.net
  RewriteRule ^$ http://www.bbc.com [L]
</IfModule>

This is the current code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?foo\.net
  RewriteRule ^$ http://www.bar.net/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

However, nearly all the traffic comes via one link to a particular page on my site http://www.bar.net/?q=en/tickets and when I redirect to my own homepage, ?q=en/tickets is always appended to the URL and the visitor is sent to the tickets page anyway (the URL looks like this: http://www.bar.net/index.php?q=en/tickets

It's a Drupal site so the .htaccess has other content, and I've put this right at the beginning of the .htaccess. I feel I just need to tweak something here - any ideas

Add a ? to the end of target URL:

RewriteRule ^$ http://www.bar.net/index.php? [L]

or use [QSD] flag if you're on apache 2.4

RewriteRule ^$ http://www.bar.net/index.php [L,QSD]
