Is the site reliable or not?

Hello,

I would like to share my experience regarding deception and fraud with the company PASSION EVENTS.

About six months ago, I purchased three tickets for the U2 concert in category 3, scheduled at the Stade de France in September 2010, for approximately 390 euros, without receiving any receipt or payment invoice.

Concerned, I contacted this company last week, and they confirmed that there was no problem regarding the concert or the ticket delivery process; according to the representative, the opening of the vaults was scheduled for September 6, 7, and 8, 2010, with the tickets to be sent out shortly afterward.

Following a phone call on September 9, 2010, from PASSION EVENTS, they informed me that there was a problem with the category 3 tickets for the concert and that the supplier was unable to fulfill the contract made with PASSION EVENTS.

I asked the manager of the platform, not without difficulty, to clarify why PASSION EVENTS was unable to deliver the tickets I had ordered and paid for about six months ago.

The answer given was surprising; in fact, this company sells concert tickets that it does not own - according to the platform manager.

As if to demonstrate his good faith, he even offered me a discount on a future show by going through PASSION EVENTS!!!! Incredible

He also proposed, of course without any other compensation, to refund me for the tickets I had paid for.

I would like to know what actions I should take to publicly denounce what I consider to be a crime or fraud.

I hope for a response from you regarding the next steps.

Best regards.

...I've already ordered from similar sites, notably for the U2 concert in Berlin this year (which was amazing by the way!) and I received the tickets about a month and a half in advance.

I managed to contact these gentlemen yesterday by phone.
I cancelled my order by phone and confirmed it via email.
Fortunately, I was not charged on my card, so there’s no need to wait for a refund.

For safety, I’m going to block my card and order a new one. I have doubts about the future use of my Mastercard number by these people (even in a few weeks).
And as someone has already said: no recourse possible in 2010 for your debit.

A "legislation" that does not allow sending tickets earlier seems VERY strange to me.
And I didn’t want to stress until September 2010 ;-)

So, you can do whatever you want with this information.
I’ve made my choice...

Have a nice day everyone.

Hello
what's surprising is that the concert is sold out and they're still selling tickets??? How do they do that? I'm skeptical.

I also just bought 2 tickets on their site for €95 each (U2 at Stade de France, Saturday, September 18, 2010) and I don't think there's anything to worry about.
However, I wonder why sites like Fnac, Virgin, or Ticketnet indicate that no tickets are available..

Hello,

I bought 2 tickets this noon for U2, on this site.
After reading some of your comments, I got scared.
I called them twice this afternoon, and I spoke to a nice person who assured me that I would receive them.
You have the option to cancel your tickets; it will cost you $25 per ticket and you will be refunded within 14 days.
This is the first time I order from this site, we will see 5 weeks before September 18.
I think they will arrive. If not, oh well, you have to pray to learn.
I saw them in July at the Stade de France anyway.

There you go

Good evening
I tried to connect to the site this evening... does it no longer exist?? Does anyone know why?

I can no longer access that site either. Should I assume that we won't see U2??? I had also bought 4 tickets. I even called them and spoke to someone who confirmed they would send them 6 weeks before the concert date.
What can we do? I'm open to more news, and of course any possible remedies... However, I thought I had received an email recently saying they were changing contacts, and in good faith, I must have deleted it because I can’t find it anymore.
Thank you for the information.

Indeed, it's been 4 days since the site has been down!!! If anyone has any information!! I'm all ears because this is concerning.

There is news, meaning that the site no longer exists, no phone, nothing at all, and pages and pages of complaints on English forums...

It’s a real scam and we find ourselves with nothing...

Hello, I also bought 6 tickets on this site for the U2 concert (September 18). I haven't received anything yet... I don't think I'll receive anything... Are you planning to take collective action? What should I do on my side?
Thank you for your help

PASSION EVENT RUN AWAY!!! cancellation of my order for 4 U2 tickets one week before the concert!!

Hi!

It seems reliable to me, since the payment is made over https, and the identity certificate is verified and valid....

...same question...because I bought tickets for a U2 concert....and given the amount of the bill....I hope it's not a scam °-°

Hi!

I also ordered tickets for U2 for over €300 and I'm afraid I rushed into it...
Has anyone ever ordered from worldwideticketstore.com?

Thanks ++

I also bought 2 tickets for U2 and it's causing me problems because we are sure of nothing, so let's stay in touch if there's any action to take.

Hello everyone,

I just tried to contact them by phone and it doesn't look good... no answer or no dial tone! I will try again later in the day, I'll keep you updated ;-)

++

I managed to contact them through the landline network. There seems to be a hotline that works well, I will call back later in the day because I didn't have time to talk... especially in English ;-). I'll keep you updated ++

I just got charged for the 2 tickets, it's happening fast, but I sent an email and no response yet!!!!

Hello everyone,

I just did a quick security check for the site and via Norton it seems there’s no scam:

++ have a nice day
