    London Ticket Exchange - All I would say to any of you, is be careful buying tickets from them.

    Read some of the reviews and problems people have had with them.
    They do actually exist, but you pay a premium for the ticket and it all depends if they can get their hands on tickets themselves by whatever means.

    I bought tickets in November 12, for Buble at O2 Arena - only received tickets 2 days beforehand in June 13, and not for the area we paid for and only after a lot of calls with some Cockney spiv.
    Other people we met down there were in the same boat.

    The Tickets might well come, but don't be surprised if they don't.

    They are notorious, so beware.

    It stinks that with each club only getting a third of the total tickets each, it leaves a further third of them to fall into the hands of legalised ticket touts such as the agencies mentioned..

    Yeah, it's apparently the most commonly used by the Club Wembley Touts - sorry members :emoticon-0100-smile
    In my own opinion its pretty shocking that these guys are allowed to sell tickets on at a profit.

    Yep, that is bollox. Shouldn't be allowed to happen, but difficult to police.

    I did some phoning round a few of my contacts today, there will be lots of tickets for sale that come from club Wembley,The FA, sponsors, hospitality packages etc... Most of the tickets will be genuine but it will all be last minute as the touts will try and get he maximum amount for them. The good news for us is because its Sunderland and not say Chelsea vs Arsenal there will not be as much demand from people in London or from companies taking people out on a jolly.

    I have a couple of contacts at Wembley and at The FA, I am going to do somemore digging to see what I can find out.

    By the way it is all bollox, the black market ticket economy is ridiculous and it could easily be stopped but the promoters of events love it because its a way of increasing their profits.

    My cousin is flying in with no tickets, from Brisbane mate and it's costing him AUS $1800. He's only just gone back last week after a month visit over Christmas here? Mental what a cup final does to rational people. Lol

    Also, how can they be selling tickets in Sunderland end? Are they just gambling that they'll get some or have ST holders already bought and sold tickets for huge profit?!

    I'd pay £300 to be there if it was my last option but I'm taking my chances with general sale first!

    Might I suggest a merge? A lot of these questions have been answered on the other thread.
