Hi My wife suprised me with a trip to england for my birthday to a football match.
Arranged it all herself god-love-her aint she great :) I should take the hit but it gauls me that some ejit is making 100 sterling on me. rather spend it on a nice resteraunt when over there.

She told me she bought the tickets off a uk website. They came in at 165 sterling for 2 tickets. the dearest tickets on the club website are 32 sterling each. So someone is making a packet.

I got her to ring the crowd she bought off and he humed and hawed a bit and said he'd ring her back.
The match isn't till mar 02, so the tickets aren't sent yet.

My question is - are we entitled to cancel and get a refund ?
nothing on the confirmation email mentions cancellations policies .
 
i think there's a 7 day cooling off period provided for in EU legislation no idea where that is though so if she bought them over 7 days ago you could be in trouble.
actually just checked here

and it states the regulations do not apply to concert tickets so i would imagine football tickets would be the same.
 
Thanks guys - only bought yesterday.
Was afraid of that - Just have to live and learn.

Thanks.
 
If your wife was kind enough do surprise you with something she thought you'd like I would be inclined to just accept that it cost more than it should have - and not to have made a point of it with her.

She must feel really embarassed now that she tried to do something really nice for you and it's been turned into a 'value for money' issue - presents aren't really about that!

It was a present out of love - maybe more costly than it should have been, but if you don't want any more surprises any more then you may have taken the first step!!!

Come on! Don't harp on about the cost of the ticket. This is a once-off surprise. Forget about the clubs website...you would need to be a member anyway to ever avail of those prices! Thank your wife...you are lucky to have her!
