paperticket.co.uk are scum
Thought i may as well stick this post up just to warn anyone else who might consider using them to buy sold-out tickets.
DON’T.
They’re scum. They sell tickets that they don’t necessarily have. Or even if they have some, they’ll sell more than they have so most people receive nothing.
So hopefully you’ll find this page from google if you’re doing research on the net about them. Just don’t. No matter how appealing it looks, you’re just going to be disappointed. Friends of mine bought tickets for this years reading festival and they haven’t come. Annoying thing was paperticket said that they would come today, well they haven’t. And of course it’s now too late for any kind of contingency.
Get them official, every time. If you really can’t get them officially then ebay is your best bet, but find one that has a lot of feedback of selling tickets or that one guy who’s bought one and can’t go. They’re your best bet.
Fuck all the touts, fuck ‘em in the their stupid fucking asses. If someone wants to get them in a hall or something and then firebomb the building and block the exits then you won’t hear any complaints from me.
If Reading just did the same registration thing as Glastonbury then no-one would have any of these problems. Fine, it’s a pain registering and sending photos all all that crap. But hey, at least the people who buy the tix are the people who want to go, rather than some twat buying 20 tickets on a credit card then selling them on for 300% face value. Fucking cunts, all of them.

Do not touch them with a barge pole! we bought Madonna tickets for Paris 20/09/08. the day before we travelled, the tickets had still not arrived. paper ticket have deleted their number off the website so you couldnt ring, and they just occasioanlly responded to my terse e mails saying it was ‘ in hand’. The night before the flight they said if we were still planning on travelling, we could meet their agent outside the Stade de France in paris on the night. We had already booked fl;ights and hotel, so we were going anyway and we thought we would chance turning up at the stadium. We were instructed to meet ‘les’ in a hotel bar near the stadium (his heavies with him called him Chris though). He was a typical wide boy – no record of our booking but gave us tickets anyway. It was a complete farce , and until I was actually through the turnstile I wondered if the tickets were genuine. Had a great concert but the stress of actullay getting the tickets is one I would not repeat. steer clear!!

Glad i was some help Sue.
It’s just not worth the hassle getting tickets off sites like these. They rip you off on the price then most of the time they just don’t deliver.

I wasn’t the one who bought the reading tix in the first place so i never had any personal contact with them.
We did actually get into the venue (not until mid afternoon by the way) but it was really dodgy and some dirty touts got us in on some staff passes they put on our wrists. Then when we got in, they took them off.
God only knows what the deal was between paperticket and the touts, but it wasn’t good enough. And the whole thing just reeked of dodgy.
So i guess the point is. They MIGHT get you in, but it’s a lot of hassle.
I would hound them on the phone constantly if i were you. Make sure they know you’re on top of them and don’t trust them on anything they say.

thanks a lot guys for the heads up, i was chasing oasis tickets for wemblry 09
and i thought something was not right, when they were selling £10 above face value, when a lot of the big names ticket companys are selling them 3 times face value

Re paperticket-bought tickets from them last week for the klllers. Credit card phoned yesterday to see if it was a legit payment as my card had “been compromised”. Stopped card and payment. Seems people are having money taken off them, as well as not getting tickets.

Anna:
that’s kinda what they do. They’ll take your money as quickly as they can. But they won’t necessarily dispatch tickets as eagerly. That’s dependent on them actually having enough supply to meet demand in the first place, obviously.

The website has been closed down by the metropolitan police crime unit. I purchased 4 killer tickets at £55 a pop and a company called “Allcharge” based in Israel removed the funds from my credit card. Called my card company and cancelled my card just in case they remove any more funds. Would advise any one else who purchased tickets to do the same. They are fraudsters plain and simple and hopefully i’ll get my money back at some stage…..
