Just to let you know, I got scammed for 340 quid after buying 3 tickets from matt irvine who advertised on Facebook. I believe that this has also happened to some other people. Only buy tickets from reputable source. I would hate this to happen to anyone else.

They ought to post on here.
I got a ticket straightaway, and without being ridiculed, abused or made to feel like a complete twat like the poor devils on The List over there.



Sorry to hear your story, jollynolly, you must be absolutely gutted.

You were the only request for a ticket over here, the official board has hundreds of requests each year.

And besides Ive not seen any signs of abuse or twattery this year and only a little ridicule.
