Premiertickets.ie

    Hi, first of all mods, sorry I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread so please move if not

    Anyway, I want to buy tickets for a gig that's sold out, I saw an ad on Donedeal for standing tickets to it and a number of other gigs (well above face value but that doesnt really matter) it says at the bottom of the ad premiertickets.ie

    I had a look on premiertickets.ie and it seems pretty legit.

    So I was just wondering if anyone has bought tickets from him/her/them and/or if you know they're legit and not copies/fakes or the like

    Thanks

    if you buy through any site other than offical vendors you run the risk of tickets bought being invalid and there is no assistance by the venue for customers who buy tickets through third party parties

    I was scanning tickets at Bruce Springsteen in Belfast for the 1st time. There was a good few coming up invalid meaning that they had been cancelled tickets.

    I told anyone I had to goto the ticketmaster box who would then explain this to them. Other staff were easier on them and let a few in. One which annoyed me was there mate had sold them the pair. If that was my mate there would be some explaining to do.

    How do you check/how do you know if your tickets are invalid?

    If this helps, you know when you buy tickets off of ticketmaster it has your name on the bottom, well these tickets have this guy's website name

    They also have a stamp on the back which says his name, address and website link


    I am gonna be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssseeeeeeeeed when I go to Dublin and they possibly turn out to be fakes. Oh well, c'est la vie

    or he could have bought them from an outlet, it's 50/50 if you're ever asked for details then
