Hello CasiemarieLondon,

Welcome to the Holiday travel forum.

If you return to the Tripadvisor homepage and type 'Viagogo' into the Search Box at the top of the page, you'll find a fair number of past references and discussions about this business across some of the destination forums here on Tripadvisor. Here is a link to the search results that I found if helpful.

This might be a good place to start your research. Good luck with your research and hope you enjoy your travels.

Yes! it is a scam. They take your money and have no way to ensure you get the tickets. When our tickets were not provided they refused to provide a refund . They do not deliver the tickets, the ticket holder is supposed to deliver them, and if they do not deliver them, nothing can be done. The seller here, gave a false signature for delivering the tickets, and so Viagogo are refusing to give me a discount. Do not waste your money - use Gumtree

I certainly wouldn't use Gumtree, loads of scammers use it to sell illegal/ non existent/sub standard etc goods. Why can't you buy the tickets direct from the venue?
