I got them from a guy on Ebay.
He said that the tickets might not be there until 3 weeks beforehand.
I mean, if you have yours i would have thought he'd have them by now!

Buying tickets for gigs from ebay is very dodgy.

All tickets have scannable bar codes on, and a lot of the time when people sell them on ebay, they have bought the ticket, and then asked for a refund. This means that the bar code is cancelled on the system, so when they sell them on, the person that buys them wont be able to get into the gig anyway as the barcode will show up on the scanner as having been cancelled.

You have to be so careful with buying tickets from sites like ebay as you never know what the person selling them has done.

There is a very good peer to peer website called Scarlett Mist, where people sell their tickets at face value.


.... I manage a music venue.

Ah, now this is the good part. If there is something wrong with the tickets we have, paypal will apparently automatically refund the money from this paypal back to mine. To try and stop people scamming ect i'd imagine. I dont know if this works for what you said, but i know if deffo does for if the tickets never arrive here.

The person we are buying them from seems to be very reputable, and has been in contact with my husband over the passing weeks. So its not like hes just vanished with our money..

Hmm.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Ask him when you reckon he'll get the tickets?

That advice Charlie, is some I shall be keeping in mind in future... Although I have never bought tickets on Ebay before and I doubt I ever will. XD

[Field Of Paper Flowers]

Holy craaaaaap. Both Angelspit and Hanzel Und Gretyl are touring in my city in the same week. Industrial bands NEVER EVER come here! I am so stoked. Going to both shows!!! (Even though Angelspit is touring with Blood On The Dance Floor, and those dudes are a bunch of douchebags.)
