A classic stearmaster poll! :barscarf:

I don't think one should jump in over board and slag off people who want to buy/sell tickets as their first post. But I do notice that some people are vague in terms of giving full details, their ownership of tickets, etc... and this should set alarm bells ringing.

As it is, there will always be an element of risk for one party or the other unless face to face arrangements are made well in advance - which is something that cannot always happen.

I asked for tickets in my first post and understandibly got a fair amount of abuse. a few posts back and forth later and all was good.

its understandable to be weary of first time posters/ticket askers but the attitude of this thread's approach is much better than outward abuse.

I did get the ticket i was after in the end, infact i got 3 more and and now on the trusted sellers list, ... wahoooo....

Pixie sorry about your experience.

He was on the trusted list in the first place as I arranged for a friend's spare ticket to be sold to him for Birmingham away as per the thread here. There were no problems then despite my mate getting a coach up when he told me he would be getting the same train as Carlton Reds and me leaving his mobile number on my work e-mail.
