Hi all,
Just a quick salutary piece of advice from a peeved (and pretty sodding embarassed) non-V Festival attendee.
Seeing that the boys were playing on the Saturday in Chelmsford I rushed off to buy a couple of tickets, unfortunately by then the festiva was all sold out. So after following a couple of links I ended up at summer festival tickets.com. Paid quite a bit over the odds but managed to get two tickets for V. Fantastic!
Only for the tickets to not to turn up, the company totally uncontactable, the money leaving my account and no Pogues for me.
I'm in the process of seeing if I can get the money back through legal avenues but still means I wont' be singing along to the might Pogues on Saturday.
So, just a word of warning - never use summer festival tickets.com. They are utter rip off merchants. They'll take yer money but you'll never see the tickets. I know that I've been stiched up like a kipper, fallen for a very old trick and I feel like a right idiot. But if my tale of woe stops anyone else losing money with these arseholes then I'll hopefully be doing someone a favour.
Anyone that's going at the weekend - have a fantastic time.
