It is. They don't actually hold or see the tickets as they are simply a go between, acting as an agent for the seller so although Getmein are legit, it's still possible for the tickets themselves to be counterfeit, not for resale or simply non existent.

They traced the buyer who had bought more than the two tickets that were sold to us...likely 8

But why is everyone assuming they sold the 8 tickets?.

Maybe they bought 8 tickets because they had a group of people going and then 2 people dropped out so they sold those two tickets and still used the others.

I'd perhaps take note that if the seller didn't have the right to sell the tickets, the sale was invalid as one of the requirements of a legally binding contract of sale is that you need to have the right to transfer ownership.

The seller didn't have that therefore is in breach of soga/cra (depending on whether the seller is a trader or not).

Very good point. Didn't think of that at all.

No need to apologise for offering your opinion, because that's all it is. But of course I do accept your apology, next time though maybe offer more substance to your posts and you won't need to apologise

The simple fact is if they supplied tickets that couldn't be used for purposes stated in the description then op is entitled to a refund.

No different to buy any other goods. If you buy a tv with free view built in and turns out the freeview doesn't work you reject the goods and get your money back

Are you suggesting the OP takes 'Get Me In' to court or the re seller of the tickets? In both circumstances I could not see any ruling other than "you (the op) purchased at your own risk"

Depends on their terms.
The seller possibly for selling 'faulty' tickets.
Or the agent for failing in their duty of care

Have you read this thread?
The tickets were not faulty, the op shot them self in the foot by calling the venue who cancelled them due to being re sold...I repeat buyer bought at own risk.

The tickets were not transferable therefore they could not be used by the OP.
Apart from that, the seller terms on Getmein clearly state:

8 WARRANTIES & INDEMNITIES
8.1 Warranties. The Selling Member warrants to and for the benefit of GET ME IN!, the following:-
(A) All tickets listed by the Selling Member are:-
(i) either "on-hand" or already ordered and 100% guaranteed and available for immediate sale at the prices listed;
(ii) the property of the Selling Member or the Selling Member is authorised to sell such ticket (by law, contract or otherwise) and no third party rights (including any intellectual property rights) are infringed by the Selling Member in listing the ticket for sale via GET ME IN!;

So no, as the seller was not authorised to sell the tickets, it's not a case of the buyer bought at their own risk.
