GaryWood34 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Have you used them? Would you ever use them? Honest experiences? Not based on hear say? I used Viagogo once and it was a nightmare but I did get in. As it stands I have one match sewn up but I don’t have any means to get in to the other two and I really don’t fancy missing out. I am considering it. Not saying I will but definitely considering it. I am willing to pay pretty daft amounts to go - only live once. Welcome replies here or messages if you can help.

McTeeko Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’ve used them once. Scammed. Lost all money. Never again. Used an online agency for World Cup Final tickets, Brazil 2014. Ended up front page news. Completely naive I admit. Had to take it on the chin. Still went over to Rio though and had an epic four days and watched the final in a bar near the Maracana 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, I said the same thing at the time. Desperate measures though and it was a last resort. Didn’t work anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably settles this thread in one post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the limited amount of tickets available for this tournament, and UEFA seeming to be clamping down more and more on this with you having to set up an account with almost ALL your own personal info, I imagine the tout sites will either struggle to get tickets, or those they do get they will inflate their prices even more as there is less supply to the demand.

Did use a tout site once for an Arsenal V Liverpool match at the Emirates. Got the tickets by post one day before ( 80 quid each )and the season ticket belonged to two people from Thailand. Bearing in mind I am a 6 foot 2 Glaswegian and my son was 18 year old half Glaswegian I was suspecting we would be asked for ID at the gate, and after establishing I could not be the Thai gentlemen on the ticket would be asked to leave. Got in without a problem but worried all night that it was 160 (plus booking fee) down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I am resigned to going down this route as well I’m afraid. The bottom line is that I currently don’t have enough points to guarantee me a Czech Republic (or Croatia) ticket, so was also looking for any help / pointers of reliable ticket agencies (if there is such a thing). I am happy to pay well over the odds for a ticket (£300+), and would obviously prefer to pay for the next couple of Season Tickets for a fellow Scotland supporter than line the pockets of a tout – but I appreciate there’s not a chance that anyone on here would entertain the thought of sacrificing their ticket for any amount of cash! I did eventually manage to get a Brazil v Scotland ticket in 1998, but only after a lot of grief and hassle when the ticket agency company (that I’d paid nine months earlier) failed to deliver. I was also wondering if anyone has had any success using any of the 3rd Party Ticket Sales companies. There are clearly a lot of dodgy ones out there, and it’s a route I’m not particularly comfortable going down – but I’d rather try and be let-down, than sit at home and miss out on my first tournament match since the CIS match in 1992. With no physical tickets being issued, I’m not sure if names are going to be linked with ticket orders and if there will be ID checks made on entering the stadium. But this is a risk I’m willing to take, which may end up in me spending a lot of money and not getting to see the game anyway. But I’d rather try and then at least I know I’ve done everything that I could have to try and be there cheering the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyram Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi guys Has anyone ever used this site before? - https://www.ticombo.com/en Tempted to take the gamble given this could be a once in a generation opportunity to actually see us at a Finals.

GaryWood34 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 More you advertise potential sites more likely someone is to grass those sites up haha and the tickets will be taken down. Its a vicious circle isn’t it but it may be the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 These sites are all dodgy as .... I don't understand how this secondary ticket market actually works, but I know from speaking to them that they don't actually own any of the tickets that they advertise. I asked if they would immediately electronically transfer the ticket to my phone as soon as payment was made - and they said that they can't guarantee they'd do this until one day before the match. That means they don't have the ticket, and I'm not sure where they think they'll get these tickets from. They tried to bullsh1t me saying that this is because UEFA won't let them or some rubbish, but I explained that I already knew it only takes seconds if they actually owned the tickets (because I paid for Czech Republic and Croatia tickets like this and got the tickets minutes after making the payment). The big difference with those two games was that I was dealing with actual real individuals, who genuinely owned the ticket and had it available for transfer. So I'm not touching these dodgy sites with a barge-pole. No way I'm waiting until the day before the Wembley game to find out whether they've failed to find a ticket, and basically scammed me. Not at the prices they are charging. So if anyone is willing to sell a non-SFA ticket (i.e from the UEFA ballot) for any amount - please pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I picked up 2x England tix from a tout site (StubHub) last week which were transferred into my uefa app no bother - so not all bad experience with these sites. Albeit extortionate and add on fees! I actually need to re-sell them now. Available at the £620 each I paid for them if anyone is interested. I can see a couple of people were uncertain about dealing with sites so if there’s any interest, I have these tickets in app ready to go. Before I get any grief on cost - this is what I was willing to pay myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
