Its funny you post that. I got conned out of tickets for the Manchester UTD game V Rangers, £100. Reported him to the police and the guy served very little time in jail (despite conning lots of folk and having served time in jail for doing it before), could have done with getting in touch with you around about that time... the guy has no fucking money anyway the police told me I would have had no chance of getting it back

You paid the guy without seeing the tickets?

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.

It didnt click what had happened for a min or two so i was telling the guy i wasnt moving. The guy then calls the steward and went to one side and had a chat with him while me and my mate were still seated. Steward then says im using stolen briefs and im getting papped out. I told him i wasnt so he got the old bill to escort me and my mate out and that was that. Jumped on subway and caught the last of the first half and the second half in the Glaswegian.
