A quick way to find out if it's legit is to get someone else to email/text/phone the seller to say 'heard you were selling a wristband - is it still for sale?'  If they say no, then that's a comforting sign.

I got scammed trying to buy a Stone Roses ticket a few years back.  The scam works because they give you every impression that they only want to sell it face-to-face at their house - however, they also claim to be on the Isle of Man, so suckers like me eventually suggest doing it by post + bank transfer.  When I reported the scam to my bank, one of their staff initially told me I'd be refunded.  Later, the bank went back to it's usual stance, which is that 'we're not responsible for you doing bank transfers to conmen.'  But by then it was too late: I'd already got their staff member promising me a refund, on a a call which they recorded, so they had to pay up in the end.  You may not be so lucky, but worth a try.

That is a great shout to get someone else to call!

the only possible issue is that they have a few crew passes, so might still be trying to sell the others?

if they say they don't have any for sale though, then that's a good sign!

I emailed him off my other account. 

Said that he's sold them already.

So it's either a good sign, or if He is a scammer, he's got some morals

Scammers don't turn away extra risk-free money.  I'd be very comforted by that.  (In my Stone Roses scam, I texted the scammer, and of course they were still selling it...)

So when will you know one way or the other K? When it drops through the letterbox?

Ugh - I thought I'd escaped the perils of the secret resale by scoring tickets in the normal resale. Turns out we're now in the crap

The 'lead booker' received our tickets and accidentally posted them to an address that doesn't exist instead of to us. It's someone we know too, so a 'genuine' mistake. To top it off, she didn't put a senders address on it. Not deliberate but bloomin awful!

As a result, our tickets are currently in Belfasts Lost Property office - three football stadiums big. It normally takes 6 weeks to process something that's gone there. They arrived there on Friday. And they're doing all they can for us.

I'm hoping Royal Mail pull this one out the bag for us. Champagne in the post for them if they do.

Can't tell you how bad we feel at the moment

The final twist of the knife. They must be doing it on purpose. Maybe another one in a bit to add a full stop...

Jesus H Christ. Reckon the lead booker owes you a bathful of cider. Fingers crossed for you Slipmatt. Let us all know?

Yep spoken to them multiple times. They're saying cos someone previously signed for them (the lead booker, not us) then they can do nothing.

TBH, I've been lucky for 15 years, but the fact that such a genuine reason for loss - ie Royal Mail are prepared to tell See that they have them, they just can't route them to us (if it comes to that) and See still won't issue new ones, is a bit harsh.

WIll do. We're continuing as planned - I'm just staying home. Hoping it's a case of when we get them, rather than if.
