to use the word cunt to describe those fuckers at TicketsDirect.net

[whoneedssleepanyway]

who sold DH fake Take That tickets that he gave me for Christmas....

so cross, have never used the C-word before but think it is wholly appropriate...

he booked on visa so we may get the money back but there are loads of people who didn't and spent loads more than we did

[youarekidding]

YANBU. Sorry to hear about the fake tickets especially as you've had to wait months for something that won't happen. Getting your money bcak isn't really the issue is it?

Yep I agree cunt has it's uses.

I'll never forget the day I announced to a close group of friends I had 'officially promoted ex-p to a cunt'.

They knew then just how mad I was as its a word I don't use often.

[whoneedssleepanyway]

no not about the money youarekidding..

when we couldn't get through on the phone line for the last couple of days we googled the site, and realised it was a sham, apparently the people behind it have been arrested but so mad, and poor DH feels like he as been taken for a complete fool

[youarekidding]

Its shit. It does annoy when people think getting your money back solves an issue. Of course it doesn't - if it was about lack of money then the tickets wouldn't have been bought.

I HATE these scam sites, they really upset people personally (and make them want to use the c-word ).

for your DH. Thats such a lovely thing he did and he shouldn't feel like a fool. He should be proud he thought of a nice pressie and boast to his mates who bought flowers from the garage xmas eve.

Is there anyway to get tickets from elsewhere?

[Groovee]

:-( That's awful and people like that deserve everything flung at them. So sorry you'll miss out.

[whoneedssleepanyway]

been having a look haven't found any yet, my lovely lovely friend is going with her mum and two sisters and has said she doesn't think her mum is that bothered so is going to ask her if I can have her ticket, I was really embarrassed and told her not to but she has insisted so I may still be able to go, but did stress if her mum is looking forward to it she should still go with her.

hopefully the guy is having a fairly unpleasant time in prison.

Try SEE tickets, Its an official take that ticket site that I got my tickets from originally but, when I went on there a few weeks ago they had quite a few tickets returned to be resold on there.

[wheresmywaist]

They are not that expensive on Ebay now. Hadn't heard of that scam, disgusting!! :(

[keepingupwiththejoneses]

here not that expensive at all.

[GeekCool]

Where are you trying to get tickets for? Ticketsoup (i think) have Production seat tickets for Glasgow. Damn :( If you had posted this last week and it was for Glasgow I could have got you tickets immediately as I knew of some going spare.
Can you post where you want to see them?

[whoneedssleepanyway]

Thanks geek.

Wembley...how can I be sure not to get done again on eBay...

[GeekCool]

www.takethat.com/news/2011/06/more-wembley-tickets-released-for-progress-live

I don't know if they are still there, but it's on the official site...

[GeekCool]

Also SeeTickets and GetMeIn have tickets available for Wembley too. Looking at GetMeIn, they don't pay the seller, until the tickets have been delivered and you will know they are real.

[exaspomum]

How extremely annoying and disappointing for you. Even so - please don't use the 'c' word. Many people find it very offensive.

[GeekCool]

Seriously exaspomum ? Are you not on the wrong site if you don't like to see the word?

[scaredoflove]

That's what happens when you don't use the official sites. Annoying but the official ones were well publicised as far a I recall

[Sparklegeek]

Try Tiicketmaster, Seetickets & Ticketline (all official) - they have all had tickets available over the past few days.

[Andrewofgg]

In my workplace the c-word is often used - but only by women, men would not dare!

[FabbyChic]

You may be out of time with your Visa they only have to cover you for 120 days, its way passed that.

[AuntieMonica]

i think we need a special curse-word for bastards/cunts/wankstains who do this sort of thing


DS2 has been fucked over by fake ticket sites before - utter scum bags


hope you are covered, OP

am so for you

[DitaVonCheese]

Keep an eye on //www.scarletmist.com also, it's a genuine site for people to sell unwanted tickets at face value only.

[whoneedssleepanyway]

Thanks everyone, well we have a happy ending...!!!

DH is going to get his money back via Visa, just has to send the a letter off and it will take a while to process but he is covered AND

I have got tickets for the Weds at Wembley level 2 reserved seating from ticketmaster hooray!!!!!

So excited.

BT exaspomum I think the C word is offensive but for once I couldn't think of any other word to use!

[CurlyBoy]

Enjoy! My wife saw them at Manchester and thought it was great!

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

The OP's not out of time Fabby.

When it comes to tickets purchased using a credit card, protection starts from the date of the event or concert, plane, rail trip etc.

[PainteditRed]

Seetickets seem to be releasing a few tickets every day, I suppose it is cancellations.

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

Yippeeeeeee!!! Glad you got some! We're off on the Tuesday and am beyond excited!!


I think the C word was perfect in this situation! But then I am genuinely bemused when people are really offended by it..
