Viagogo

[Decvfest]

If I buy a weekend campign ticket for V fest off Viagogo, what would be the chances it would be a real ticket?

[Music nut]

All tickets are guaranteed, it's the price you have to pay I'd be concerned with, never had any trouble with them. Viagogo hold the money and the seller doesn't get paid until after the event

20% handling fee on top of an already inflated ticket price is a joke, and the fact official ticket outlets are associated with them is a disgrace.

They say guaranteed but people have not received tixs off them before although they did get thier money back. What happens is if the buyer backs out or it gets lost on delivery or whatever they then go onto Ebay to buy them and charge the seller the cost but if it's short notice or a smaller gig they may not work

just had a look for 2 weston park with camping tickets on viagogo and they say the ticket guarantee is free! the booking fee is £72 but the ticket guarantee is free! ha the cheeky f**kers!

Mate of mine is gonna buy off them I think. Its obviously a lot of cash, but I suppose he's desperate to go and willing to pay so fair enough

I might try off there then, I'm not even that fond of the line-up really but it'll be my first festival and I really want to go to one this year and alot of my mates are going V, and I've got quite a bit of money saved up so I might just buy it off there if I can get one for about £250ish

Save your money, if you really want to use them then remember prices are always at their highest when tixs have just sold out (this is also true on Ebay, Getmein etc. and for gigs in general) closer to the time prices will drop.

Try Scarletmist, a fave value ticket exchange site that isn't run by greedy c**ts. Tixs will appear on there closer at the time though.

Gah! Its gets like you that are the reason these bastard tout sites exist Reading tickets are out in a week or so and there are plenty of smaller (and better than V) festivals with tickets still available - consider those

£300 is a joke. I live in Essex and used to do V quite alot. From '98-2002 I done all of them. It was so easy getting tickets, I could just roll up at my local Virgin megastore in Colchester about a month or 2 before the gig and just pay for my ticket then. What's happened now is a joke and I only do Glastonbury out of principal because their tickets can't be touted. I can never see V or any of the other festivals going down this route as when I used to go the festival often wouldn't sell out. With internet touting they always sell out now. Such a shame as I like V and being so close I'd love to pop down even just for a day or whatever but I refuse to pay money to a tout.
