Ticket Thread

whenever i buy tickets off twitter, i always get them to send me a photo of the ticket (if its paper) with their twitter username written on paper held with it to prove they have the ticket or the confirmation email seen so many people stealing photos of tickets, so they can show others they have them when they don't. always use paypal or meet and pay cash

They could just photoshop the name, so it's not so full proof.

yeah true but you can usually tell a photoshop to the real thing. i find it unlikely these scammers will be experts in photoshop. however, then the back up to that, is pay by paypal and screenshot/print emails of all your conversation. if you pay by paypal business and ticket turns out to be a scam, they refund the money straight away if you have evidence.

Yeah always good to cover yourself, there's plenty some scumbags just waiting to rip people off at the 1st opportunity.

the @arsenal_tickets account on twitter has a "safe sellers" list. take with a pinch of salt but those are people recommended by others who have brought off them safely and easily. its a good place to start i guess

That account is brilliant. Especially for people like me who's only able to know whether I can go to games a few days in advance due to work. That account really helps.

And I always tell the buyer I'm willing to pick up wherever he wants me to go. Much prefer risking 45 mins travel and £4-£5 on oyster instead of getting scammed £80-£100 through bank transfers.

BTW you doing Old Trafford Ollie? I'm gonna try.

Doubt I can do Old Trafford now and can't do Cardiff cause of work. Got Marseille and Hull tickets at home though, should be good.

Yeah positive feedback from others is always a good thing to go by.

and check their account start up date. most twitter apps will say when the person joined. if they joined in last couple of months, chances are they are a scammer esp if they just whore out their "ticket"

Thanks for the tips Ollie.

I just keep the official site's TX open and keep refreshing the page until something comes up. Got a ticket for Sunderland in Block 15 for £29.15 (inc booking fee) yesterday.
