Don't EVER use www.getmetickets.net

Now this IS worth blogging about. I'm incenced. I can't believe it.

DON'T EVER USE Getmetickets.net.

Let me tell you why. I ordered 2 tickets at £77 each a couple of months ago to see Coldplay tomorrow night. That's £47 over the list price but it was completely sold out (supply and demand and all that) and it was for standing right infront of the stage. So no worries there.

Ok, so, I still haven't received my tickets. I rang on Sunday, it took 15 minutes to get through, the guy politely says they'll courier the tickets to me this week, indeed it said they would in the terms and conditions. No worries there...

Nothing happening on tuesday, so i spend a HALF HOUR during my working day trying to get through to find out when these tickets are to be delivered. The woman who answers is gruff, "sorry, can't send them to you, you'll have to pick them up from a bloke who'll stand outside Earls Court on the night". Well that's bloody shit, but, i do like Coldplay and i've been waiting months. So, not happy with the service, but at least i'm getting there.

So, this evening. I get a call from some bloke who was a complete See U Next Tuesday (if you get my meaning).

"Mr Hodges, Ed Hodges?"
"Yes"
"We won't courier the tickets to you and we're not going to give them to you at Earls Court"
"I'm sorry, I don't think i understand"
"You'll have to come into town tomorrow and pick them up from our offices, or you can have a refund"
"Whooaa, hang on, I paid 2 MONTHS ago for £154 tickets, for you to TELL me that i either come to your offices tomorrow or i can't go?"
"yes"
"I'm sorry, i'm still not..."
"either come and collect or i'll refund, you've got 5 SECONDS TO DECIDE"
"WHAT, well to be honest, SCREW YOU, give me my money back"
*phone goes dead*

What a bunch of FUCKERS. I repeat, DON'T USE getmetickets.net.
