    Nope, cos they are a touting site who don't guarantee that they have tickets for events themselves. And charge vastly inflated prices. Don't get stuck!

    I tried to sell them tickets for a gig a few years ago when I had a spare and needed the cash. I sold them my spare and then I sold them my own ticket, before buying another via Soundcellar (they were obviously unaware they existed) at Face Value and attending the gig with the profit in hand

    needaticket are actually members here and have responded to quite a few posts/accusations.

    They are what they are, if you want a ticket for an event badly enough you'll get one from legitimate sources or a fan club

    All I know is that they are massively overcharge for tickets. I bought my ticket for Pendulum last year for €33.50 and then saw that they were selling tickets for Pendulum for €100.

    They have Rage standing tickets for €100,face value is €70+ T/M service charge,that's not too bad if you were really stuck.

    don't use EBay, unless you have to, use http://www.seatwave.com/

    English site, but they do International events...meaning Ireland...and despite prices being in Sterling they never fluctuate and you're buying a more secure ticket

    http://www.seatwave.com/slash-tickets/vicar-street-tickets/29-june-2010/perf/325820

    This is only my own personal experience though, don't wanna be their spokesperson lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭cena


    that works out about 120 euro for the ticket.

    If you read higher in this thread you will see that the guys from this site are, or were, members here

    My own personal experience is also listed above. I remember meeting them in the lobby of some fancy building down in Smithfield direction, just asking the doorman to let them know I was there and then someone came down after a 2- minute wait and met me in the Lobby. He was carrying about 100 tickets, asked me what event I wanted, and whether I was buying or selling.

    It was touch and go for a while as to whether they were even going to show up. I can't believe I just went over to Soundcellar and bought another ticket. Made about 100 euro profit.

    Its funny but I was also a Hot Press College Rep at this time and remember a lot of people in there talking about how they hated that site, so their list is nothing new.

    Bought a ticket of them for the Faith No More gig at the Olympia couple years ago having missed out on ticketmaster, they wouldnt answer any of my emails or phone calls until 2 days b4 the gig where i was told to meet a guy outside the event 2 hours b4 it started, he turned up and it was supposed to be a standing ticket but told me it was a top tier (crappy) ticket. I gave him a piece of my mind and insisted on a part refund but he was havin none of it, he even said " if ye dont want it, ill sell it on and you wont get a penny back" .

    Luckily i blagged my way into standing anyway :D

    Theyre a bunch of charlatans and shud only be used as a last resort.
