    This site seems a little dodgy to me... tickets to Ross Noble are normally between 25-30 quid. On this site they seem to start at 35, which is a little lame in and of itself. Second point, there is an 8 pound delivery charge and a 12 pound commision on two tickets. Third point, my partner and I wouldn't be able to use both of our vouchers as the site won't allow me to buy less that two tickets in each transaction!

    Result: We either use our voucher and spend £65 on tickets... or we go through a normal ticketing website and spend £50 on tickets!

    In short.. be warned! Make sure it doesn't work out cheaper on ticketmaster or whatever you normally use!

    Exactly. Knew this would be the case when I saw this 'legal touting' site mentioned here. Tickets that aren't even sold out are more expensive than face value on here and I think that was the BEFORE commission price, and if it wasn't, who cares? 'Genuine freebie'? No it isn't.

    These cost per action deals are also potentially a huge waste of people's time.

    I was sitting next to a family of 4 at the 02 last week, who had spent 240 pounds for Leona tix from SeatWave, they arrived by courier on the day and they set off (not looking at the tix, because of course they would be right!) only to find that the tix were valid for a previous days concert. Fortunately for them the 02 managed to find them seats.

    Please be wary of such sites, and always try to get tickets from authorized vendors first.
