seatwave is a genuine website. People go on to sell tickets and we, who now all hate ticketmasters online system, go online to buy them.
I have bought tickets from them loads of times before and when my daughter couldn't get tickets online from ticketmaster i went and bought them for her from seatwave... they had made a mistake before with my tickets but when i pointed it out to them they give me the best tickets they had on line and they covered the extra cost, so my answer is YES seatwave are 100% genuine

Aren't you so nice to set up an account just to tell us how legit a site is. Well done you, if only more were like you :rolleyes:

@HardLuckWoman, I have a question. If you saw someone advertising a "swap" for pitch tickets, but they wanted some cash on top of the ticket swap, would you pay it to get pitch tickets and give them your seated ticket? The reason I aim the question specifically at you is that you seem to be a die hard fan but you said you cried at the "bad" tickets you got. So would you be willing to pay a fee on top of a swap?

I got a message on facebook offering me 2 grand for my 2 pitch tickets. Its crazy the prices people are willing to pay. Obviously I refused their offer. The only thing that will part me from these tickets is death itself.

Hell yeah.

I'd do anything. Got my sister a ticket but she may not be able to come. I'd gladly swop two seated for one standing. But I dont think that would be enough.

Yes. Just have your booking reference number and the credit you booked with and they'll post the hard copy of the tickets out to you

Just a heads up, I called Ticketmaster just now, and if you have viewed your ticket online (opened the ticket link on your order) then they can't swap it for an actual ticket

I was just ordering as fast as I could, in a panic against the clock, and the print out version was the first one I saw and opted for that.

I'd have like to have kept my proper ticket stub as a souvenir

sunbabe08

well you could photocopy it

A photocopy of a print out isn't the same as an actual ticket though

I like to keep them from big concerts and events

2k for 2 tickets? they're on various sites for 150 each

Careful_now!

Anybody bringing the kids to the concert? We're bringing our 7 year old daughter. She knows most if the words to most of the songs.

She was so chuffed when I told her we got tickets.

I'm starting to think its going to be a bit wild up there.

Youll get to keep the print out.. if thats any good to you?..
Noone takes the ticket off you, at any stage, you scan the barcode yourself at the turnstile, walk in, sheet back in your pocket

I don't blame you for worrying. if you have seated with a child, it's the crowds on the way in and out that I'd be most worried about, totally understand how you feel. Just take extra caution and don't let go of her hand! Hopefully all will go well for you and your child, it will be great for her to look back on and say she was there

Thanks for that. Yeah, we have seated tickets in the Hogan stand. I think I'm just worried about all the people at the seats in front of us will be standing up and dancing, and then we wouldn't be able to see.

I know we could stand up too, but I'm just concerned if even during the concert people will be up and moving around.

Reading posts on here, most people would prefer to be on the pitch standing, so will people in the stands be standing too?

I only ever got standing at concerts so I'm not sure about the seating. Maybe someone else here can help with that one. I'd imagine with the big screens and the loud music and atmosphere she will be blown away by it all anyway, a great experience for a young girl, one she will never forget.

A A4 sheet of white paper to me isn't worth keeping like an actual ticket, but I just said I'd chance calling to see if they'd swap it for me.

Not a big deal anyway, I'm delighted just to be going

I always get seated tickets, buy never actually sit You'd be much too excited to sit! I mainly get seated so that I have somewhere to put my bag and drink, and so I don't get separated from whoever I'm with.

I'm sure you'll be grand, even if someone was willing to swap with you to have an aisle seat for your little one. She'll have the best time. Fair play to you for bringing her I was brought to Michael Jackson at around the same age, and I never forgot it!

A man in galway has been charged in relation to counterfeit tickets. Not Garth Brooks but tickets nonetheless. They were for one direction and beyonce. Just putting it out here to be careful if you're going this route.

My sister bidded on ebay yesterday for two tickets and won. It was from someone who has an account for a very long time with very good feedback. Tickets were paid for in cash from the photo that was uploaded. The seller also offered a lot of personal information freely so it looks genuine. Due to be sent by registered post.

I'm fúcking brinking it now in case they are fake.

Fingers crossed.

There are a good few tickets on Donedeal that seem to be a face value. Crazy prices currently being bid on ebay.

Are people really that stupid to buy at those prices or do they have so much money that it doesn't matter to them?

Mrs Garth Brooks

There's fakes being sold for Garth Brooks. Picture on gumtree and the price on the ticket was all wrong, something like 56.94. Reported the add and hope they take it down.

A lot on donedeal are actually asking for more than they say though. I know somebody looking and they rang a few people who say they wanted 75 but are really looking for 400.

Apparently Donedeal for once (and most likely because of the negative focus on touting at the moment) is taking down ads openly looking for over face value which is why the above is happening. Has your friend tried reporting any of these people? I'd be interested in how fast they are reacting to the less visible touting. Basically wondering if they actually care or is it just a temporary measure for show.
