CUP DREAM HITS THE POST

Robbers nick pals' final tickets from postie

Tiz on the front page! I bought it this morning.

EDIT:
Holy crap, just after reading the whole thing now :eek: Ye paid €5,000 for the tickets? :eek: And to get the tickets robbed then

Man, that's awful, I hope you guys get something sorted out, because that really really sucks, no wonder ye are devastated

It said that a spokesperson for AIB said ye can claim back the money? So keep hassling them, and keep hassling the travel agent too.

Named and shamed: PREMIER SOCCER PROMOTIONS (based in Offaly)

Is it a full story on it? or just that headline?

Davexirl · 21-05-2005 11:00AM

It didnt cost E5000 it cost E2568 for two the whole package I DONT KNOW WHERE he got 5000 from

21-05-2005 11:04AM

It sounds better. Surprised they didn't throw the 1 million euro mark down.

More of a "wow" factor when it's got more 000's after it.

tinkerbell · 21-05-2005 11:19AM

Still though, over €2k is a hell of a lot of money to be ripped off over. Definitely hassle the travel agent, go to court if you have to!

There is a full story on it - tiz at the bottom of the front page where they give a summary of it and then the actual story is on page 4.

Sorry to hear ur grief mate -shocking stuff - some thieving gypo in the Travel Agent is the obvious suspect.

Have a quick look at the Star website - it's a day back but I must say it is one of the most impressive web sites I've ever come across - might set it to my home page

rugbug86 · 21-05-2005 11:30AM

id be more inclined to blame the crowd that are advertising a competition for two to go.....

I assume thats your sarcasm thats dripping onto my shoes?

quarryman · 21-05-2005 11:40AM

yeah that website is awful. sorry to hear your bad luck. most likely you'll get it sorted but probably not before you get to Istanbul.

zAbbo · 21-05-2005 02:38PM

good Article, front page, very impressive. Did you get any money from the star

The price isn't that bad considering its 7 nights in istanbul.

I know i wouldn't have thought twice, had i been able to get time off.

Any joy on tickets yet? What was the speel about your man going to liverpool looking for tickets?

Davexirl · 21-05-2005 03:53PM

Still no tickets, I rang the travel agent saying I cant afford to buy more tickets of you. Your one on the phone saying ohh he went to a lot of trouble looking for 2 more tickets blah blah and I was just thinking ya so he can make a nice profit on the tickets at €580 each, I

tinkerbell · 21-05-2005 04:49PM

Those people at that travel agent are twats!

**** sake, saying "he went to a lot of trouble looking for two more tickets", dammit, it was his fault that he didn't send the tickets by registered post in the first place!!

What sort of a muppet sends champions league FINAL tickets by Swiftpost?! It's his DUTY to find you two more tickets, I definitely will never be buying tickets from that travel agent anyway.

I really hope you get your tickets sorted Dave, it sucks so bad

chump · 21-05-2005 05:05PM

That's unbelieveable, they haven't got the balls to take it on the chin and absorb the cost for their own mistake.

Disgrace.

It's their fault, so stick it to them

Don't let them fob you off and be sure that if they don't sort you out without you having to put your hand in your pocket you will sue them. And actually do it...

And don't buy the tickets off him

Sangre · 21-05-2005 06:08PM

Get onto a solicitor now.

You could get the whole trip cost back (not that you want it) or get money before trip because its so specific.

brianomc · 21-05-2005 07:21PM

I feel really bad for you.

At least twice between January and August last year the mailmans bag was stolen in Ryevale in Leixlip. Both times An Post dropped in a postcard a day or 2 after informing people of it. It didn't stop the postman leaving his bike outside my house and walking down another road leaving the bag unattended for about 5 minutes. Brutal. I remember as a kid (only about 15 years ago) the postman used to cycle the bike to every house. A bit of cop on wouldn't go amiss.

If An Post want to claim no responsibility they could at least train their delivery guys/gals a bit better.

AdMMM · 21-05-2005 07:29PM

Read the article just there in the shop (couldnt be arsed paying for it). Must say that it was well done. However, one thing I want to know is that Premier Travel have said that they were looking for more tickets for you... were they insisting you pay for them?

I think Premier Travel have came out fairly well from that article! Well a lot better than they should have!

Davexirl · 22-05-2005 01:10AM

Thats what I thought they sound like they are trying the best for me but want me to pay for more tickets. I am leaving in a few hours but me Ma is going to ring up Joe Duffy or Gerry Ryan on Monday to see if they can sort out this mess. I want two match tickets but it looks like i am only going to get a refund well I hope but i would say its going to take weeks to sort it out

I feel sick I am leaving on SUNDAY with no match tickets.

Your prob gone n'all man but did ya get anything sorted? Star's coverage do anything for ya?

Guy:Incognito · 22-05-2005 11:56PM

dont suppose anyone scanned the article?

AdMMM · 25-05-2005 10:17PM

I heard on #boards.ie that he got sorted out in the end.

I'm sure he has no nails left now

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 25-05-2005 10:54PM

Jesus I hope he got sorted... 'cos if he just missed that match... it doesn't bear thinking about!

Well done

Liverpool

JackKelly · 26-05-2005 12:39AM

yes. If he didn't, he will be mighty pissed. That was a classic of a match.

I hope so - click on the Sunday edition link there. Apparently Bryan and Kerry McFadden might split up and there's a special supplement for the 2004 All Ireland Final.

Caesar_Bojangle · 26-05-2005 02:01AM

Who do you think will win the All Ireland?

segadreamcast · 26-05-2005 09:40AM

Yeah I must admit my thoughts slipped to this thread during the interval before the penalties - hope he saw it.

Liverpool. Odds would probably be similar to what liverpool were given at the start of the CL run.

shepthedog · 27-05-2005 01:26AM

Any update on this? did he get to see the match?
