linking up with strangers to increase chance of getting a ticket, how does this work

[suelou]

how does it work, i have seen people ask to join up with others to increase their chances of getting a ticket, but i don't understand it

Swap registration numbers & card details and have all the $$$s in 1 bank, so 6 people can try for 6 people thus increasing your chances x6

Go very careful giving money / card details to internet strangers if you choose to do this

I think you don't have to share card details, only lead booker is paying. But you have to hope that other people will pay you back

you'd need to give card details to the person who did the transaction for you - and unless you know them personally, you can't have a clue what they might then use your card details for.

 

Most people are honest, but some aren't.

Thought you were in a group Respectafrog. How are you gonna try for that group when you're trying to join other groups?

Lead booker pays the deposit for all number on page (so has to have £300 available on debit card) - then once you have confirmation email you can pay him the £50 deposit for your share or if you know/trust them you can pay £50 up front but then if you fail you have to trust you'll get your £50 back.

 

I find people are more likely to pay £50 to you if you've got their tickets.....

 

The only time we're done anything different was when our friend in Russia got our tickets and we needed a UK debit card - cue major panic and WhatsApp messages.

In the resale you need to pay the full ticket price.

Anyone with less than 187 posts.... no chance.

Risky, Risky. Don't do it unless you really know the person and even then people can do desperate things when in need of cash!
