Not quite so bad but something similar happened to me once. Played Barcelona in 2007 at ibrox, didnt have a ST and living down south didnt want to buy the match package for games i wasnt going to. Bought two spares off a guy on FF. An adults and a kids ticket, paid him via paypal with promise of special delivery. Anyway no tickets turn up as he reckons he couldnt afford to post them so a few PMs later agrees to meet me day before the game. I go to clydebank to meet him no show. Am phoning him at his home number and his sister tells me hes a work (hes a postie apparently!!!) after a few hours in clydebank he shows up. I get the tickets go to ibrox the morning of the game, upgrade the kids ticket to an adult and its happy days. Anyway get in the ground 10 mins into the game a bloke and his kid show up for the same seats, the tickets i had had been stolen out the post and sold to me, obviously because the guys a postman he's just lifted them and sold them!! I phoned him after the game no answer! Pm'd him and he promised to refund me (obviously admission of guilt as to what i accused him of)Guy then disappeared off FF, made a couple of calls to his house but didnt know where it was etc so what can you do? Anyway sorry for the long post i have every sympathy with you - should never need to resort to paying over the oddds for briefs though, if you want tickets for away games join an RSC or apply to those clubs who deal with supporters directly and you'll get some.
