my sympathies.
unfortunatelly I remember there was also one problem case with the ticket exchange in 2009, so there are not too many and people trust each other here. so far people from the forum never let me down and I'm grateful to many of them for helping me arranging trips. many chit chats became friends IRL. but I think I trust people too easy and might be disappointed very much one day.

I hate when people let others down. I would be embarrassed if i let someone down like that.

Maybe it's just me who can't then
Edit - Helpful PM told me who it is, but its not for me to do the naming and shaming, most regulars have probably already guessed who it is anyway. Last edited by looke; 22-01-2011 at 17:15. Reason: it's obvious who it is really. |

I have to say, I was quite moved by your post, Beautifuldistortion. You seem genuinely upset beyond just getting tickets for the show - the fact that you feel utterly let down by someone you thought you could trust is really what stands out in your post for me. I'm very sorry about that.
I wouldn't give up on the community as a whole however when it comes to ticket sharing just because of one horrible experience. I've only seen a few forum members complain about being swindled in some fashion where ticket exchanges are concerned and given the amount of people who have successful ticket transactions here, I'd say that's a pretty good track record. |

Thank you that truly means a lot.
The fact is because I was told this person had been busy at university and in hospital, I really felt that I shouldn't push to hard - however I did make it clear I wanted the tickets I understand what you mean, it might have been a knee jerk reaction (although I did consider before I posted) and in the scheme of things I realise I am in the minority of people being let down. Like I stated I had a very positive experience of getting a ticket at short notice for the XFM gig from here - so I do appreciate that. I am gutted though as I really did want to go! I wouldn't have said anything but the fact the person posted on how good the gig was kind of stuck in my throat. I truly don't want to labour the point though and I would just like to thank everybody for the kind comments. |

Beautifuldistortion, you have every reason to be upset. Such utterly tactless behaviour. If you change your mind about selling a ticket, be honest so that the person can get another one from somewhere else. It's your time and energy and effort that was wasted. And even more tactless to post that the ticket seller did attend the concert.

An utter shame, sorry that you had to go through that. Please don't be put off, I've had numerous wonderful nights at gigs that wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the generosity of people on this board.
I attended one of James' wonderful intimate gigs at Camden Barfly and met him (for the first time) afterwards in the bar. And just last year I was able to attend the Suede gig at the Royal Albert Hall after painfully missing out on tickets on the day of sale. Two of my most memorable gigs/nights of all time all thanks to people on this board. |

Oooh, what a flakey twat.
I also admire the grace and tact of your complaint. Adds to the crushing shame which will overcome them when they read through this thread. Fear not though, and do not be disheartened - we are not all shits.

This is very disappointing. Obviously the person decided they wanted to go which is up to them, but they could at least have told you, it would have been the decent thing to do. Has the person contacted you with an apology, because it looks like they've been online so they must have seen this and how upset you are.
