Reliable ticket sites i.e Seatwave

Maxeen

Hello
Someone may have asked this before but does anyone know whether ticket buying sites such as seatwave (for 'sold out' tickets) are legit & reliable OR know of any that are?

I am looking for 2 tickets to see Ed Sheeran in London & know not to trust Ebay etc.

Thank you

Seatwave, and other 'fan to fan' sites are pretty reliable but as you are mainly buying off other people the price is set by them. You do get a ticket guarentee that once bought those tickets are yours - details are on the respective websites. But you will have to wait for the seller to send you the tickets which may not be until a day or so until the event, mainly due to themselves getting the tickets late from their seller.

Basically its a glorified touts website but, in my view, much more reliable than eBay as the tickets are as guarenteed as they can be.

Viagogo and getmein work on the same principle I believe.

Enjoy whatever you get tickets for

Thank you very much, that makes me feel a bit better but I'm still scared about handing over my money & not getting any tickets! I'm wondering if its not just worth waiting until he plays in London again.

Have you bought off of any of these sites before? If I remember rightly I was more impressed with Viagogo than seat wave but found a few dodgy ones too!

Thanks :-) x

You can get some great seats off ebay, they aren't all scammers! I have bought and sold on there over the years without any problems at all, and some at face value. Just check out feedback before you buy
I had a couple of spare Ed tickets as my daughter couldn't make the date and sold them on ebay for FV, I wasn't out to profit just recoup my costs.

Just remember when you buy from the likes of Viagogo that you might be buying directly from the promoter out for a quick buck. As long as your not buying for concerts more than 45 days in advance you are safe with ebay & paypal's protection if the tickets are a no-show or are fakes (or at worst e-tickets where a dodgy seller is selling the same ticket more than once)

Moneypooh - it makes me cry a little bit that you had Ed tickets! but thank you for restoring my faith in Ebay sellers xx

Kite2010 - thanks, I didnt know about the 45 day thing, I'll have a look around & cross my fingers!! xx
