www.getmetickets.netI would just like to offer some advice to other blondes who may come across this organisation at some point. Do not buy tickets or should i say do not give them money then have them treat you like dirt.
There are various other bits and pieces about them on the net and loads on the watchdog site, so i am not a lone voice.
My girlfriend decided to get me standing tickets (Premium priced/most expensive) to the sold out Ian Brown gig at the MEN arena in Manchester on saturday as a birthday present and i was well chuffed.
First problems arose when the tickets did not arrive in the week before the gig as promised (and paid extra for special delivery). So she rings up on thursday to enquire about it and some horrible person on the other end of the phone replies 'we will ring you in the next couple of days' to any question that she asks and eventually hangs up.
She is rightfully worried now and after speaking to various obnoxious idiots over thursday and friday she is told that they will ring her on saturday afternoon to arrange a pick up of the tickets from a bloke outside the venue.
Saturday afternoon arrives and of course they do not ring and she is forced to ring them again. They tell her that they have not got the tickets that she has paid for but have some seated tickets which are in prime location, having been to many gigs at the MEN she asks about exact location and discovers the tickets are the worst seats in the house. Of course she asks wether the difference in ticket price (£60) will be refunded only to be told that there are no partial refunds and it's like it or lump it.
She rings me in tears and i tell her to demand full refund as i have no intention of giving these people a penny. While on the phone she requests that they make the payment immediately back to her card and the woman on the other end becomes really offensive (Fing and Blinding) to my girlfriend who is clearly upset and then hangs up the phone.
Not sure if they will refund the money without a fight but i will deinately be getting the money back.
Sorry for the epic post but just want to warn other blondes. Please post this on other forums if you get chance
