After being ripped off by getmetickets.net
I have set up a complaints forum.
It would be interesting to see how many people have had a bad experience with this company.
No joining required.just post

Yes but if you are desperate to get a ticket.you would pay over the odds.
I already have tickets for the night after.and in Paris.but I thought tickets would be hard to get hold of.
So like an idiot I paid over the odds.

Ipstan, I very nearly used a ticket broker back in '02 for a show & luckily I balked at the price. Later on, the ticket broker went belly up. |

uh...let me get this right...you paid a crazy amount of money for tickets for a show in PARIS in summer 2006 because you were desperate, when the dates for the European tour wont be announced or confirmed for at least six months yet and didnt find the offer a bit suspicious ?
I'm not trying to sound like a smartarse and I hope you get your money back, but I find it hard to believe anyone can be desperate for tickets to a non existent show a year away

not really a question of banning them from this site, because they're out there and people are going to use them. Its more relevant to alert people to be wary of them |

No I paid nprmal price for Paris.
It was for tonight the 27th.that i paid a crazy price
That was to see Springsteen.I just want people here to now about the company.as I also go to the Stones concerts.and don't want anyone here falling for the same trick.
Sorry if I confused people

Ok..gotcha.
However how do you know you paid a 'normal' price for Paris when the shows are months away from even being announced and a venue decided upon?
There was another UK based site called krystalboxoffice which advertised in the press lately tickets for the Bruce Albert Hall shows a few weeks before they were confirmed and they were looking around £500 for a ticket. They also were taking bookings for two Stones shows at Wembley on two back to back nights in June 2006 (which wont happen)and were looking £150 for a general admission ticket and seats up to £300 each.
Utter madness.
Springsteen RAH tickets were in plentiful supply on e-bay over the last few days for both nights. Its not an ideal situation either but much more reliable than ticket brokers and such scam artists. I got Dublin tickets there at the start of the week for just over face value, although I ended up getting good seats for free through a press contact at the last minute and was able to re-sell them to other fans |

I booked the Paris tickets from the official site.I got them the day they went on sale.for the 20th june 2005.
I only used the getmetickets. as I thought tickets would be very hard to come by.
but I was very lucky as the official ticket agents.had a ticket drop that lasted 10 mins.
And I managed to get 2 tickets for the 28th may.

If some of your periods are actually commas, I maybe -MAY BE- sort of understanding your posts. Not sure though. Paris, you mean Springsteen? Still don't get it, oh well... Good luck anyway! |

oh I see. Springsteen in Paris, not the Stones. Assumed it was one of these brokers who (like the example I quoted above) announced tickets for shows that hadnt even been confirmed. Just that you didnt say it was Bruce, so on a Stones site I assumed you meant the Stones! |

Don't buy anything from sites that aren't respectable and of course well known!
I too thought you bought Stones tickets for a Paris gig next year, when that hasn't even been announced on RollingStones.com!!
Some matters you have to go with what your head says and not what your heart tells you. |

Sorry for the mis-understanding
But I know how hard it is for you guys.to get tickets at times.
I have heard people from abroad.have been caught out by this ticket agent.and they might not know how bad they are |

After getting in touch with the trading standards office.
Getmetickets refunded my money in full.
and the tsa are now looking into the company |
|
|
| Gazza |
glad to hear that on both fronts |
|
|
| ipstan |
It turns out somebody reported the forum.that I had set up
maybe because I used the name getmetickets in the title.
So I am in the process of setting up another one.to keep people informed about good/bad ticket agents
