Ticket Tout website goes Under
Monday, March 12, 2007
From Michael Rangos the guy who brought you Givemetickets.com*, his next project to scam gig fans, Tickettout.com, has announced it has ceased trading. Apparently going bust. You have to be pretty unwise to buy off of a site called www.tickettout.com, don't you? 'Oh what I lost my money and didn't get my tickets?' I wonder why.
The tactics that have made Tickettout.com so successful over the last year is that they spend a lot on google adverts. Punters who aren't that gig or web savvy click on an advert, assume it is vaguely genuine, then go through to give up their hard-earnt money. Most concert promoters pretty much do feck all online and so information about tickets online is left to the Ticket Agencies.
The government obviously has a lot of other worries like an illegal war in some foreign land. But Teressa Jowl had some sort of conflab with promoters the other week and decided to do... erm... F**k All.
*Seems this page had a typo the last year, we mistakenly fingered Wegottickets who are actually the best Ticket agency on the planet. Very Sorry to the Wegottickets team. We love you guys, almost no booking fee, easy admin for the promoters - The ticketing agents for the little guys. Sorry again.
