Buying on Donedeal

I've arranged to buy some tickets for a Heineken Cup Quarter Final this weekend from someone on donedeal.ie as the tickets I'd arranged previously fell through.

Now I noticed that the seller has a good few other tickets up for sale between donedeal and another site. The tickets I've arranged to buy are below facevalue, should I be concerned?

I probably sound quite naive but this is my first time buying anything off donedeal, usually I'd purchase tickets second hand off toutless or adverts if need be!

I'm just concerned I'll get printed tickets, pay cash, arrive at the match and disaster strikes!

I'd be pretty concerned about that. Normally people selling tickets below face value have somehow or another ended up with tickets for something, found out they can't go to them & are just hoping to recoup part of the purchase price to take the sting out. Someone who is selling tickets to multiple events, below face value, would be in my eyes potentially dodgy, what reason could they possibly have to buy so many tickets & sell them at a loss?

If they're selling those email tickets it's another reason to be wary because those can be emailed multiple times & sold to as many people as the seller fancies

Did you get sorted OP? I wouldn't be buying a print out of a ticket either, too dodgy that he has printed loads and selling the same seats to everyone. I imagine if you get to the area around the Aviva early enough you will pick up tickets no problem.
