Ticketmaster are redirecting customers to http://www.getmein.com for some of their shows - where it will cost you up to and over £100 to buy a £40 ticket. Example, click on 'Find Tickets' for the Oasis tour here. for Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield and other venus, and you get redirected to GetMeIn:

So be careful!

It's not a hack, they are fully aware of it and don't seem to mind directing customers to a site to pay £100 for a ticket, even though they are apparently against touts and the reselling of tickets:

Very annoying. Thanks for the update. So when I buy tickets I will be extra careful!!

TICKETMASTER SUCKS.

 

JUST DON'T USE IT. AT ALL.

 

:dozey:.

Get Me In is a ticketmaster company, as an official 'reseller' of gig tickets at higher prices

I think 'extortionate' is the word you were searching for.

 

But I guess if anyone's willing to pay that much then their advertising link is at the top of this page - very handy.

It's a scam by Ticketmaster, they cream off the best tickets to re-sell at extortionate prices.
