    Lads,

    anyone any experience using online ticket brokers? to secure tickets for sold out gigs in a foreign country?

    places like;

    www.worldticketshop.com

    www.getmein.com

    www.euroteam.net

    etc etc

    i've never used any before, but they seem perfectly reputable.....any words of advice/warning?

    Thanks

    Getmein is a Ticketmaster (Live Nation) company. I would say that they would be your safest bet as they would be able to verify the original tickets.

    Getmein.com is ticketmaster essentially touting their own tickets to the customer.

    It's a terrible practice that shouldn't be allowed.

    I know a couple of people in here in IRL who had to go down that route for shows in US. Paid way over the odds, but they got their tickets delivered hassle free.
