Touts

Non-Transferable
If you see tickets advertised anywhere other than official outlets you stand a good change of getting ripped off. This is because tickets are non-transferable, which means that once purchased you can not sell them on to others, and so if you do buy from an unauthorised source you stand a good chance of being refused entry as the seller must have obtained them elsewhere. Angel Music Group will be unable to assist you if you have bought from an unauthorised
source, as we will have no purchase history available for the ticket.


Auction and Secondary Ticketing Websites
Each year we receive feedback about people buying from auction sites (including e-bay), unauthorised on line agencies and elsewhere with tales of tickets that never materialised, fake tickets and customers being told to 'meet our rep outside the venue on the day'. Despite our best efforts to protect customers there is very little we can do as a company to help if you buy from anywhere other than an authorised agency.


Touts
We are often asked why we allow touts to buy tickets. The simple answer is that we do not knowingly sell to touts. We take great time and effort to prevent multiple purchases and work hard to prevent tickets being touted, unfortunately the law is not on our side and it is a difficult and time consuming exercise trying to police purchases, however we do try our best. Many touts buy tickets from a number of sources using numbers of people to buy for them. They will buy from auction sites and also advertise on websites that they buy up unwanted tickets.


What to do if you are caught out
If you do encounter problems contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible, your local Trading Standards Office, and if you believe a criminal offence has taken place, the Police. If you are not sure that a criminal offence has taken place then ask advice first from your card issuer and local Trading Standards Office.


Spare Tickets
Occasionally due to genuine circumstances you may find yourself with a spare ticket. Please do not be tempted to sell it on an auction site or to sell to a ticket tout or on line agency. This just perpetuates the problem. You are risking the purchaser not be able to enter the event (under the Terms and Conditions). You are liable should this happen and you may end up on the wrong end of legal action if something occurs to prevent the buyer from entering or you fail to supply information relating to the event entry Terms and Conditions.

Tickets on Ebay
Please note that GlobalGathering 2009 tickets that are being sold on ebay are not valid tickets and will not gain you entry to the festival. These tickets may appear at first glance to be cheap but a lot are forgeries. All legitimate tickets are also non-transferable so cannot be resold in this way. All tickets that are on sale on ebay have now been cancelled so please do not waste your money.
