Evening all, have any of you good people used this shower b4? I've used them for the 1st time, got 2 x Foo Fighters tkts for 23rd of this month @ W Ham's stadium, (£359 the pair!!), They emailed me the "etickets" which I printed off @ work, and they've got the name of the original buyer on them, (a female name,- my brother & I are male), I can't get in touch with them for love nor (more) money to query this, and am doubting wether its going to be a wasted trip to London from Hull to get turned away at the turnstiles when they come to id us? Any ideas, please?

I went to a show at Wembley Arena 3 weeks ago and I was same as you, I had doubts about the print your own Viagogo tickets with someone else's name on but everything was OK...…. I will never ever use them again though with what they add on the price of the face value..... The original purchaser was Greg John(that's not me) so everything will be OK I am sure...…..

Thanks for that Mac, we've already paid for hotel & trains, so hopefully we can "wing it"!

Hopefully you should be OK, unless the original tickets were sold as non-transferrable and Foo Fighters choose to try and enforce this. Nearly all tickers have buyer name on them now (in my limited experience) but generally this doesn't mean you can't transfer them, unless they've been specifically sold as named buyer only. That seems to apply mainly to "paperless" tickets, but not only. Latest story about Viagogo here: www.itv.com/news/london/2018-06-18/itv-news-investigation-viagogo-advertises-concert-tickets-it-doesnt-have/Now I know why they are so cagey about where you pick up the tickets! I had a look at Ticketmaster, they are still selling some tickets for the 22nd June, and the first "event info" doesn't say they are named buyer only. Also Ticketmaster GetMeIn are selling Marketplace tickets, and they generally avoid tickets that have been designated original purchaser only. And there is no huffing on the news about the Manchester gig turning people with second owner tickets away. So I guess you should be OK. Good luck anyway!

Thanks Mrs F!, turned out I was panicking over nothing in the end, they didn't even look at the names on the tickets, just scanned the security barcode, barely gave me n our kid a second glance, checked our pockets and we strolled in good as gold! Wouldn't use viagogo again though after what's come out about them recently, and finally just for the record, The Foo Fighters were 'kin great, so jobs a good 'un, cheers!!!
