Screw theonlineticketshop.com

So, I was looking to book tickets for the upcoming UFC and this website was well linked and looked good:
www.theonlineticketshop.com/

I paid for the tickets weeks ago and never received them. They won't return emails and they never answer their listed phone number. They are a scam. I did a quick search and found that loads of other people have been ripped off by them too. They've been reported (and charged!) and yet they are still operating and ripping people off. How can that be? Do the authorities really not have any power to shut them down? What a joke.

Anyway, it looks like the credit card company will be able to give me my money back. Lucky for those creeps at the online ticketchop because it would have been very very messy for them if I had landed at their London office address!

I did get replacement tickets so I'm still off to UFC 105 this Saturday!

I HATE scammers like that!!!

Tis a pity that the UFC is this weekend as Yvonne and I or off down to Manchester in two weeks time to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

Anyway enjoy the UFC Rob. I'll look out for you on my new ESPN HD channel when they pan the crowd.

Rob I think I read in Sherdog only to use Ticket master or the link to the tickets that Ufc.com provides... there are a lot of scammers there...

Have a good time in England!

Hey Alcatraz - it's been too long and we must hook up again soon. I'll be hiding from the camera as I'm only interested in being seen in the cage ha ha

Antonio - now you tell me ha ha As someone who regularly uses the internet to make purchases, this is one scam website that anyone could fall for. I still can't believe that they haven't be shut down and are still allowed to operate.

i was also screwed by the online ticket shop for a liverpool match tickets never arrived and everytime i spoke with them on phone they would tell me they were on route to me(it often took hours to get through to them).anyhow they eventually told me that the 2 tickets would be delivered to the hotel were my brother in law and his son were staying(please note this was a christmas present ihad bought for my brother and nephew) but come matchday there were no tickets so after nearly 2 hours of phoning i got through to them and he then told me to tell them to go to another hotel and yet again no sign of them ten mins later some random scouser rings telling me he s at the stadium and for my brother to head and meet him.i ended up paying nearly 190 sterling per ticket were as they are normally 40 sterling per ticket.so obviously this company deal with general people selling tickets on the black market for rip off prices and have no credibility with any organisitions such as football clubs or as in your case rob the ufc so as rob said do not deal with these people.
