Purchased 2 tickets for noise and confusion on saturday for Ł100 each.

Tickets never arrived, told they would arrive today between 9am-1pm by courier. They didnt. Phoned them said i would come and pick them up, said i couldnt do that. Asked to speak to manager was told he is not taking calls, asked for persons name i was speaking to and he said "fred" and then terminated call.

Bought tickets on credit card so should be able to get money back, just dissapointment that not going to gig.

Also heard www.getmetickets.net were on the news being occussed of not supplying tickets.

They've been on Watchdog around 4-5 times! Owner is Michael Rangos...complete c-unt! Basically they're just ticket touts and have been fined by trading standards numerous times.

Just get on to your credit card co. and do a chargeback (which they have to). The more chargebacks they do the more likely they will withdraw the credit card facility from the company and they be fcuked

The Company that were on Watchdog were being named and shamed for over-charging for tickets, not failing to supply

err, think you'll find it was both Clare. They did it with Reading Festival and Glastonbury. They are also selling tickets for a Robbie Concery that doesn't even exist!!!

Ok, spoke to the lady at work and she says..

"I am just looking to get back what I paid for the tickets which was Ł80 (inc booking and postage). "

Let me know and i'll get these sorted out if you want them.

Cant believe a company with this sort of rep is allowed to keep trading.
