    The Oxegen tickets are really hard to fake apparently!

    Didn't know that. I'll have to tell the people I know who's tickets were fake :pac:

    I'll be buying one down there on the day. I'll look out for someone selling and have it scanned and stuff before handing over any money.

    By fakes do you mean e-tickets? id never buy these second hand, peeps printing 100's of em...but the normal tickets are usually ok if you get them before the concert...Risky getting them at the concert as they just scan your ticket but leave it whole, so some people are then selling these outside but once you try to get in,they wont scan through...But actual fakes i havent seen in years, and with the scanning their gona be useless for sure

    Were they e tickets or without the stub though? :P It'd be fairly easy to spot a fake without the flash icon thing on it :confused:

    Nope, actual tickets. I've seen three (compared them with mine to check if they were real before the gig) and have heard of more over the years. No one had any idea until they were scanned and we were told they weren't real. These were all bought well before hand too.

    Yeah, if I'm buying off someone, I'll leave the money with someone and go through and have it scanned etc to make sure it's real.

    EDIT: Noel, had the little silver thingy on them too! No lie, I wouldn't buy any out of paranoia and checked my friends' with mine. Literally couldn't find a difference apart from the numbers.

    If tickets get lost/stolen in the post, you can ring up and they send out different tickets, voiding your old tickets, ie they wont scan through, maybe your friends bought stolen/lost tickets, the hologram is hard to replicate, so most likely it was a real ticket but wouldnt scan through.

    Ive often bought tickets online toutless/gumtree etc and never had any problems so woulnt be to worried about it

    Can you not get a ticket scanned by a ticketmaster outlet to make sure its real?

    You could go into the shop tomorrow and purchase it there? :confused:
    Would be cheaper as well....and no you can't purchase on the ticketmaster site and collect in store. Box office collection should/might be an option though?

    If anyone has any spare time, would you do me and probably Noel a favour, would it be possible for you to take a quick picture of your ticket if you bought one from a ticketmaster shop if possible? Cheers!

    Yeah me too. Im just worried about the shock of going up then being rejected and having to go home... it would be mortifying.

    I checked against my friend's ticket, and mine's identical apart from the numbers!

    I asked on Heartbeat City's page and they said to ring Ticketmaster tomorrow and they should check the code for me and let me know.. :) It's impossible to buy Oxegen tickets in Waterford anyway as we have no Ticketmaster, so if TM get snotty at me on the phone, I'll explain to them it's not my fault that they supply no service here.. :P

    Yeah, going to do the same myself just be sure.

    Surely they can scan it, just like the people at the entrance to oxegen can do too, cant see why they cant scan it like.

    Anyway, anyone with a 3 day camping ticket, can you check it against this please; the first scan in the attachments is mine, and the second is one I just saw on ebay. But can someone tell me why they have different writing on the tickets? I know the one I got was paid for by visa card, as I have the receipt here for it also, but the second one was also paid for by Visa going by what it says on the ticket...

    Also, why on both of those tickets does the price say "199.50" but when buying a 3 day camping ticket on the website it says 224.50 as the price???

    If either is fake I'd say its yours. AFAIK it shouldnt just be Oxegen on the top line. All the tickets I've seen have the class of ticket there. Also, yours is shifted down a bit which can happen with lazer, but I'd assume TM would have decent printers, mine is bang on in line.

    The walk between stages is very short, but you'll be right at the back. They're all set around the same area.

    depends on where you are in the crowd, usually would take about 5 mins if you are pulled from the front :)

    Im sure neither is fake. Tickets printed from different places are generally different for some reason. I have got tickets to events with friends weeks after they bought theirs and the writing has been different. Im sure both are real.
