mc_squared Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 What's more, if you purchased the tickets using a credit card, you'd better check "other" amounts haven't been added to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigermilk Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Never buy from anyone outside the UK. Reporting the matter to any UK agency will only be met with 'it's outside the UK and our jurisdiction'. I would advise the person who used this site to contact their credit card company and get them to cancel the transaction. The site seems suspicious because of the prices and the fact it is outside the UK. You cannot buy tickets from ticketmaster or gigs and tours if your credit card is outside the UK, unless you choose 'will call at the box office'. They do not post tickets overseas. Also I noticed they reserve the right to cancel your order if they can't forfill it. This means they don't have tickets but are trying to get tickets. This means, even if they are legit, they might never supply you with tickets. For a gig thats six months away thats a hell of a wait. I'm thinking that this is a scam, you buy tickets and then in November they declare themselves bankrupt, leaving those waiting for tickets and refunds-which will be pennies.

Actually, Ticketmaster does. I did it that way with three of my tickets. Just cost a bit more in postage, that's all.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfective Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Ok guys, I've done a little research on this company... The WhoIS domain search on this site comes back to GoDaddy.com where the site was registered which is the same site that ColdplayWorldTour.com and their apparant partner site are also registered (http://www.thefootballticketshop.com). TheFootballTicketShop.com are actually run by a now defunct company called "Hertsboxoffice". Search Hertsboxoffice in google and read their not-so glittering reviews. :( http://www.tickettout.org/voting-comments.aspx?cid=5&cn=HertsBoxOffice My bet is that they were ordered to close down before and have simply restarted their company back up under a new name. These ticket agencies do it all the time. Sorry to say it dude but I wouldn't be too hopeful :( Hope you didn't spend too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRB Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 coldplayworldtour.com- is it real? I have concerns after purchasing coldplay tickets from this site, who are associated woth thefootballticketshop.com. I have done a number of searches and it isn't looking good. The money has now come out of my bank, I called them and they will investigate this. Please be aware and dont buy tickets from this site. I am extremly dissapointed! I really want to see Coldplay and now its not looking likely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticket rip off? Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi, I read some of your comments. I purchased 2 tickets for the Madonna concert (Wembley Stadium - today) through madonnacandytour.com. They confirmed my order and informed that on my bank account thefootballticketshop.com will appear. They took my money off my bank account and sent an email that the tickets will be delivered 7 days before the event. They still have not arrived. I tried to get in contact with them, but since there is no phone number given on their homepage and they are not responding to emails, I could not. I think I have been seriously ripped off !!! Anyone with similar experience? Any ideas what can I do now? Thanks a lot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Coldplayworldtour.com are advertising the tour as the Viva La Diva tour which, as you will know, doesn't exist. Google appears to be promoting them which isn't helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sorry to all those who have been scammed :( "Chris Martin's men have become megastars on both sides of the pond, clocking up number ones" - that put me off right away!!
