jump Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 It's Viagog remember, you've still got to include all the extra charges of VAT (not sure why they charge both the seller & buyer VAT), postage (they charge £10 when special delivery costs £5.05 at the post office), ticket guarantee & booking fee etc it 's an extra £40. Still isn't cheap enough for me to get a weekend tix but I'm gonna wait till I see a cheaper day tix for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

JC-Mo'Fucka Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 why d'you say 'limited time only'. Thinking theres only a few tickets on viagogo? still could probably get them for cheaper later closer to the fest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemangang Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 they are struggling no doubt, the staggered price plan says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwl89 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 My mate got one off there the other week and it came to £130 all in all, think it was listed at about £95 so as said above be careful of the hidden fee's they thwack on to it. Still absolute bargain and am loving the touts getting massacred on this, that'll teach the c**ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdrobson00 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 has anyone ever dealt with these before?,had any bad experiences with them? 2 day tickets come to £106 with all the fee's down from £180 if i buy with seetickets, but im just wary that they come from some guy sat in his bedroom, what if they dont turn up, will the refund me so i can buy from see (assuming the are day tickets left a few weeks before the fest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemangang Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Once they are delivered to you by the seller, you have to confirm that they are correct and valid tickets within a week, then the seller gets paid. I think if you were to say 'they didnt come' or 'theyre fake' then it will probably be a lengthy process to then get the money back from viagogo, but it wouldnt go through to the seller. Due to this system, its highly unlikely the sellers would try to rip you off, i mean why bother? But it does mean that you would probably not have the cash straight back to buy more. This should be improved this year though with the earlier delivery times being trialled. I should think its a pretty safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I would have to disagree, many of them have multiple tickets. One guy had 26 to sell, thats quite a few mates pulling out at the last minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestaDave Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 How's that even possible? There's a limit on how many tixs you can get from a household/names and if they do go over that limit they cancel the orders so he must be using 6 different addresses.

Matticus Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 i got a weekend ticket from ebay delivered to my house on the friday morning for 110 quid. made the weekend enjoyable as it was suddenly a brilliant line up for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The gf has managed to get a single weekend ticket in '08 & '09 for £60 & £23 respectively. Couldn't get anywhere near that last year though so she didn't go. Looking forward to seeing what she can muster up for this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk1 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 They are coming from the bedroom touts, little shits who buy tixs for the sole purpose of selling them on over the internet who imo are worse than the old guy with a fag hanging out of his mouth on the street tout. At least with real touts they are at the site and it's helpfull for the last minute buying/selling people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
