Chili Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 On Sunday morning I discovered that my tickets for the Take That concert taking place on Tuesday at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry never actually existed. The very genuine looking website www.londonticketsexpress.com that I purchased the tickets from last November, is run from outside the UK. Luckily I purchased the tickets using a credit card and so I might get some of my money back ( they were very expensive tickets ) They told me via email to pick up the tickets from the venue on the night, but luckily I tried to pick them up early and was told that I had indeed been a victim of a very cleverly run fraud. Just wanted to let others know never to use this website to buy anything and it is still up and running and selling tickets for very popular bands as I type! I am really and very Chili x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Oh no - how disappointing for you. Sadly there's always someone out there ready and willing to rip us all off, what a shame. I would have been slightly suspicious however, when they told you to collect from the venue. That's okay for last minute tickets but certainly not when you booked so far in advance. Wise that you paid via credit card, fingers crossed you get something back at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Poor you, how disappointing . Thank goodness you used your credit card. I can't believe that the site is still up and running. Surely it should be taken down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 So sorry you've been done like this. Have you been to the police and the press? I really hope you get your money back, clever to pay by credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*mummy_hen* Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Omg that's awful, i would be I can't believe people can actually get away with this!! I really hope you manage to get your money back as i know how much we have paid for our tickets this year (which oncidently is a hell of a lot more than the last 2 concerts don't you think?). Fingers crossed you may still get to go and see them in concert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sorry you got 'got' My brother sells tickets but he only gets paid by the site he sells them through once the concert has taken place in case they are fake and the site needs to refund the customer, I think thats a really good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
