Ticket Agencies

I booked three tickets for an event this June, last December, it cost the best part of £100.00 for the three, during the booking process, a message popped up saying the tickets can be dispatched anytime to within one week of the event. It never occurred to me at the time that, as well as the booking fee for each ticket, they were going to earn six months interest on my (and many others) cash, don't be sucked into this one, I won't again.

The thing is though if you try to book nearer the date the best seats are gone , or worse still they are booked up .

Re: Ticket Agencies

I agree with Eliza here as most shows sell out really quickly or you are left with duff seats

Re: Ticket Agencies

I understand the excuse for this is that it stops customers selling the tickets on at a profit by advertising on Ebay etc. That's what I was told once anyway.

Re: Ticket Agencies

It's an absolute racket.
I recently bought two tickets for Jeff Lynne's ELO and despite the website saying the prices began at £38 each, every time I pressed a seat number, the same price of £83 came up.
It took me nearly two hours to find a pair of tickets at a slightly more reasonable price. And I was on the site at dead on 9 a.m. too.
The touts and other agencies benefit greatly from ripping off the public.

Re: Ticket Agencies

You lucky so and so seeing Jeff Lynn. I sometimes find it better to book direct with the venue as I find the ticket agencies expensive. Although you sometimes have to hang on the phone for over an hour.
