This is exactly the reason I think tickets should only be sold by concert organisers, and limited to the amount of tickets sold to any one person. It rids the World of touts, and fake ticket sites, I think its appalling in this day and age, that there is still no control over the way tickets are bought and sold, paperticket is just one in an ever growing list.

Theres nothing to stop paperticket simple renaming itself, and raking yet more money in, safe in the knowledge the most that is likely to happen....is getting shut down again.

Seriously Superskint a sympathise with all of you as victims of this scam, so I appreciate tensions can be high in these times and the worse is, as you know, its GOING to carry on.

The only lesson one could possibly learn out of this charade is to only buy tickets from the event organisers, its a lot of money for anyone to lose. Its so difficult to know who you can or cant trust online, especially when it involves our hard earned money.

Now the facts are CLEARLY out there, its time to concentrate on trying whatever means are neccaserry in getting your money back, as well as taking whatever measure is needed, to ensuring this never happens again.

You work for a web hosting company and you shut it down.... or was it shut down by the police.. ???

Please give us more details, as the distinction is important.. informing the banks the police shut paperticket down would, I imagine, make it easier to get our money back..

The shut down was organised by the Police although we made the switch.

Ok.. thanks for that...

Is there anything else you can share with the thread..? Was it just paperticket or other sites? I ask because its been claimed that paperticket is just one of many they operate and there have also been posts linking them to summerfestivals-online scammer Terrence "Butts" (or whatever his real name is...)

I think they do have other sites but I think they are hosted in the states where laws are slightly different and harder to shut down.

If anyone has used this site I would recommend getting your cards cancelled no matter if you have a debit or credit card.
