Getting Tickets for Sold Out Gigs

[Jedi Shrimper]

Anyone know any good websites for finding tickets for sold out concerts? Esp. ones where you're not likely to get ripped off?

I've found one called Viagogo that has tickets for the show I want (Bright Eyes @ Royal Albert Hall), has anyone used them before? are they reliable?

Cheers, Drastic.

Hi Drastic,

I've used them before for Them Crooked Vultures tickets. They were expensive but the tickets came through fine and had no problems using them at the venue.

Good luck.

you will pay over the odds, but if its a sell out then what can you expect .. worth a try anyhow

Thanks chaps, had a look at sites like viagogo / seatwave which are just a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

I did find a couple of websites, that aren't rip offs, where you can swap tickets, Buy & sell at reasonable prices, but of course there weren't any tickets for the show I want.

www.swapmyticket.co.uk

www.scarletmist.co.uk

and also a website called www.beatthetouts.com which shows how many tickets various ticket agencies have. Although I did find some of the figures weren't up to date.

I've used Scarletmist before with success.

Andy, I found that the Royal Albert Hall do sell returned tickets, so it's worth ringing their box office near the Bright Eyes gig, you never know.

Is that like Spanish Fly? :unsure:

Keep an eye on the event page on last.fm, a lot of people sell spare tickets on there
