David Haye Boxing tickets

gazza200

Hello,

I bought a pair of boxing tickets for Haye vs Fury back in August for 505Euros for my son's birthday. It was to be the first time we had ever attended a fight so I tried to get the best tix I could afford.

The fight was due to take place in Sept but was then moved to Feb 2014, and then was cancelled altogether.

The tickets were bought off a private German seller off of Ebay.

Because it is after 60 days Ebay won't deal with it.
Because it is after 45 days Paypal can only put a dispute against the seller but cannot enforce a refund.
I have contacted the seller by email but he has not replied.

What can I do? The event organisers asked me to go back to the point of sale....?

Many thanks for any help in this matter.

You bought the tickets off a seller on ebay, who in turn bought them from (possibly) a legitimate ticket agent. Why don't you contact the ebay seller and ask them if they will help?

You obviously missed the OP's statement:

"I have contacted the seller by email but he has not replied."

Although ebay/PayPal isn't an area I know much about I have seen previous threads that ask how the PayPal charge was paid for, presumably to establish if there are any CCA S75 or Chargeback opportunities to get the money back.

has the person got a phone number you could call rather than email?

You're right, I did. Wonder if it was direct email or a message via ebay, perhaps the latter might get a response.

Get the sellers number and ring him?

All,

A gracious thank you for all of your replies. Ebay and Paypal will not give me the phone number of the seller..which is understandable. I have been contacting the Seller's Hotmail address which I guess is his private one...

I have rang the Citizens Advice Bureau and they have informed me that both sides of the contract have been fulfilled, hence legally I do not have a leg to stand on.

I am about to send a grovelling letter to the MEN arena (event organisers) to see if I can claim face value, but an unlikely outcome. Then its Captain Crunch from the Sun newspaper.!!
