Has anyone been ripped off for tickets yet?
I've been looking around for tickets this week and have had lots of people e-mail me and say they'll courier me the tickets once i pay them.
Now i'm sure 90% of them are completely genuine but there must be some scammers out there too. Personally i don't fancy sending 100s of pounds to someone i've never met before and trusting them to send me the tickets.
Has anyone had a bad experience?

Yea, like i say i'm sure the vast majority are completely genuine dissapointed Munster etc. fans but my point is that if your tickets hadn't come through you'd have had absolutely no come back, even with an address and phone number!Nik wrote:Nope - I made sure I had telephone numbers which I phoned and address.... no worries at all and we've got our tickets.

No problems.
Mine arrived in the original packagin from ticket disaster.

Also her membership number at Munster.
I put some money in the Matt Hampso bucket on Saturday instead of re-imbrsing her postage (at ehr request)
In return sending over a couple of Matt Hampson friendship bands

There are 2 tickets being advertised on my Intranet at work - 2 for £90
At 4.30 today they were still available.
These will be genuine and they are in Leicester.
If you wish to PM your name and phone number I will get hold of the seller tomorrow and try and put you both together.
If unsuccesful - I will ring you and advise accordingly

It's a question of trust isn't it, and I'd like to think that rugby fans in general are pretty decent people.
I initially bought 1 for me and 1 for my son, but then the wife and daughter decided they wanted a piece of the (hopefully) treble as well ! So bought 4 from a lovely lady in Limerick, our post passed over Wales somewhere and she got my cheque, I got the tickets a day later. Then Gate has kindly taken the other tickets from me.
Everyone's a winner ! :yay:

I've not heard of anyone who has had any problems yet. I myself purchased two for a friend from a London based Munster fan. Quick, painless and helpful correspondence.
Worth pointing out though that you should always operate with caution buying tickets in this way. The club, this forum, the administrators or indeed the moderators cannot be held liable for any tickets that do not arrive.
Buying by cheque is possibly your safest option, as at least then you could cancel the cheque if your tickets were to go AWOL. Always ensure you get full contact details for the seller as well.

You could always pay via paypal, ok it's not foolproof but at least you have some comeback if it goes pete tongue!!
Got to be honest I've managed to secure 10 tickets for me and a few friends thanks to a great munster fans.
And better still that means at least 4 less ST holders not getting their tickets through the club, so that someone else can have them :oD

I was just about to suggest paypal col.
I know it can be a hard situation to place that trust in someone, especially when they are mainly in Ireland, but I think 99% of them would be genuine as long as you have addresses, phone numbers etc you should be ok.
The sheer volume of people that have been advertising on here is overwhelming. Great to see.
