I want to buy my Justin Bieber meet and greet tickets on Gumtree from a guy who is selling one for £350, he said he doesn't use EBay because it charges fees but can you trust someone from Gumtree?

DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM GUMTREE

I was so naive a couple of years ago and trusted someone but he was a scam. £200 down the drain.

Yeah I'd be wary of gumtree. The scammers work both ways. I tried selling tickets on there and just got loads of messages from people asking me to send the tickets and then they'd send the money. I wasn't born yesterday.

I guess if you arranged to collect the tickets in person then it removes the risk of being scammed. But it adds the risk of meeting a crazy person!

In my opinion, it's much better to use eBay.

Try Ticketmaster (I'm sure you can buy and sell unwanted tickets somewhere on that site) or See Tickets. Seatwave too.

Not Gumtree.

There's a site called Get Me In that's linked with Ticketmaster, try that if tickets are sold out. I wouldn't trust Gumtree or even EBay with tickets.

That's the site I was trying to think of, Get Me In
