Yea I used www.needaticket.ie before to get Munster tickets for London irish...cost me €80 each and face value was 28 GBP so heafty mark up..no probs with service except bit late in comin

By supporting touts like needaticket you're keeping the vicious circle going of them hoovering up tickets knowing that people will buy them.

Obviously ticketmaster are to blame also for cases where they allow significant purchases of tickets to the same address.

+ 1. OP wonders why they cannot get a ticket in the first place, then becomes part of the vicious circle that prevents it.

Of course, you're right. Didn't think of it like that - maybe the flashy website made it look more "official" to me. Not happy to be a part of touting at all.

I would be VERY wary of using this crowd - as per the above the interweb is riddled with negative stories, but there is plenty of non-anecdotal cause for concern...

"A SCHOOLGIRL'S birthday treat of seeing pop star Rihanna live in concert has been ruined after a ticket-selling company suddenly announced they couldn't supply tickets.
The National Consumer Agency said yesterday it has received a number of complaints about the website needaticket.ie. However, there is no legislation to prevent the reselling of tickets.
Galway woman Aideen Raftery told the Irish Independent she is furious that 10 months after paying €330 for four tickets to the concert in the O2, needaticket.ie contacted her a few days ago to say it could not supply them.
Ms Raftery said her daughter Jordan is extremely upset about missing out on the concert, which was a long-awaited 12th birthday present.
"She is so upset, she had been looking forward to it all year, so it's devastating to have it taken away at this late stage," she said.
When purchasing the tickets in January they had been told they would be posted out up to seven days in advance, but there was no suggestion they might not be available.
Company director Gearoid McDonagh told the family that a ticket supplier had let them down.
Ms Raftery said she had used the site because it looked legitimate and used Paypal for secure payments.
"They have had our money since January and then they turn around and tell us that there's no tickets, when it's too late for us to find any others," she said.
While needaticket.ie refunded her money yesterday and had also sent her vouchers for €160 for future use on the website, Ms Raftery said there was "no way" she would use this credit and risk another disappointment.
The National Consumer Agency said it had received a small number of complaints in relation to this company, but none of them related to the current issues.
"Any consumers who feel misled about the availability of tickets should contact the NCA's helpline on 1890 432432," said a statement.
Needaticket.ie did not reply to requests for a comment.
The website is owned by Needaticket Events Ltd which has been in business since 2006 with an address in Ballyroan, Co Laois, and its directors are Michael Scully and Gearoid McDonagh.
Its 2010 accounts show it had turnover of €1.391m last year, and sales of €1.139m, but is carrying accumulated losses of €73,291, with €177,920 of debt falling due within the next year.
A number of callers told RTE's 'Liveline' they had experienced similar problems.
One caller said she and four friends had purchased five tickets to the concert last February for €410, but were told on Saturday they were no longer available.
Ticketmaster said it is the seller for Rihanna tickets, which are now sold out, and only tickets purchased from authorised outlets would guarantee entry.
It said it did not sell tickets in bulk to reselling companies and had security mechanisms to prevent this."

The set of accounts referred to in the Indo article were not prepared by a firm of accountants, but appear to have been prepared & submitted by the company themselves.

The directors' report and the notes to the accounts state "the accounts have not been prepared on a going concern basis, as it is the intention of the directors to cease the trade of the company."

That doesn't sound like a company I'd want to be depending on to still be around next week, let alone say in 6 months time, to produce tickets...
