Buyer Beware of Ticket Wizard!

Options
My son paid these scammers over £100 for concert tickets which were never received. They are uncontactable on the phone and do not reply to emails requesting urgent contact. Although you can still buy tickets on their website!! Avoid at all costs!

    Looks like a complete scam to me...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Yes, it's a total scam, but after me posting on as many forum websites as I could to beware, reporting it as fraud to the Police and to Consumer Direct (trading standards) I'm pleased to say the website has gone! That's not to say this scum won't surface somewhere else under another name though, so I will advise my son to check out future purchases VERY carefully! I found out the name and address the Company was registered in - Andrew Cheadle, 9 Chetwynd Street, Newcastle, Staffs. ST5 0EQ, and was set up on the 14/05/09, so I can imagine how much this fraudster has got away with in that time.
  • Beware of another website that looks like the same fraudster - ticketwizardfootball. I tried the phone number on this site, which is different one from ticketwizard, but it just goes to a Vodaphone answer machine.
  • The reason the websites went down is because the Companies Investigation Branch of the Insolvency Service investigated and interviewed the director of this company and other parties

    I was the original complainant some weeks ago

    The websites that have gone include

    Ticketwizard-de.com
    Ticketwizard-us.com
    Ticketwizard-es.com
    Ticketwizarduk.co.uk
    Ticketwizard.co.uk

    There are more to follow

    Andrew Cheadle was simply a front for this scam, if you want the real person behind it look at Jon Davies at Crendon House, 9 Crendon St, Bucks

    His last scam was B7sports.com and his limited company is Bilius 7 Developments Ltd
  • It's shocking that these lowlife scum get away with setting up Company after Company and just keep getting away with it! I'd like to see them investigated properly by the police and made to pay everything back they have obtained fraudulently. This country is just too soft on criminals.
  • I bought tickets for a concert from this site for my sons birthday, we never received the tickets, just be careful who you buy from because this scumbag will probably do it again under some other name. He/She needs to get an honest job the scum and stop scrounging , taking other peoples money that they have worked for. Scum like this make me sick and i wouldnt waste my spit on them. This particular site was registered to an Andrew Cheadle, 9 Chetwynd Street, Newcastle, Staffs. ST5 0EQ, . I reported them to Trading Standards but I think the public just need to make sure they check sites out thoroughly before parting with their hard earned cash and not make it easier for the scum of the earth to take our money! I hope that they (whoever they are) have children and their children get mugged , because lets face it thats what they are doing . Common scumbag petty minor thieves who clearly havent got the sense or brains to go and get a proper job! thickos!!! .
