Dublin o2 spares

edited June 2010 in The Porch
Hi fellow jammers, for my birthday my lovely wife bought me (us) 2 tickets for Pj @ the Dublin o2,from the online ticket exchange,plus hotel & flights from the uk,to make up for the dissappointment of not making the
ten club lottery.
Today we found out that the online ticket exchange no longer trades & was just a scam,leaving us over £300
out of pocket just for the tickets,we still have the flights & hotel,so my question is does anybody have any
spares?

We looked on e-bay but to be honest i cant bring myself to give more money to a stranger who may leave me
standing outside the o2 with double dissappointment.
We sincerly hope no one else has fallen victim to this scam or is reading this not knowing what awaits them.

We realise the chances are slim ,but thought we d ask the question.

Keep on rockin

    People will be selling spares there at face value.

    Dont think its anything to do with ticketmaster,just 2 dodgy blokes set up an office/website took the payment
    last december,shut down,dissappeared.
    Tell you not to expect the tickets til a few days before the show,gives them time to dissapear

    Bastards,im dissappointed but my wifes in bits,feels stupid,not sure if we ll go ahead with the trip
    without tkts,but got a couple of days to rescue it

    Hey, go on the trip anyway, it seems its all paid for and at worst you get a nice break,. you could jump on the train too and make the belfast show where there is an abundance of tickets floating around

    plus i really think you'd get sorted outside the venue

    I think your right,the trips booked & paid for,time booked off work,3 days in dublin could be nice.

    Belfast is a good shout,but dont have the time or extra cash.

    Just have to grubby my hands with the touts

    My fiance and I dropped $455 for the Dublin tickets, selling my old jeep helped! The first three shows are what we have on tap, on top of the trip across the pond it's gonna be expensive but well worth it. Pretty ridiculous how much tickets cost after face value.

    i have a pair of belfast and dublin going for face value,rather not split them up,buying a pair from me would probably not that much more than a single on ebay,either way i hope you get sorted!!

    It makes no sense to travel outside your country to see Pearl JAM. They can play a crappy setlist. Total waste of money.

    Unless, you are a country that is very close to the shows.

    I got my tickets from viagogo (not sure about spelling). Have to sign in for Ireland. It looks like a European version of StubHub

    No problems and I have tix in hand. Not cheap though.

    Good luck.
