seattle-theatre.com Theatreland Ltd Sham website, sells non-existent tickets London Internet
On Sep 14, 2014 I purchased threee tickets to the 5th Ave Theatre production of Kinkyboots at this site. This site came up first in search results, uses the copyrighted artworks for the show, and presents itself as the venue's website. Well, couldn't be farther from the truth.
The sale went through GoodyTickets.com, and said they would be shipped by Oct 3. When I didn't received a tracking number by the 3rd, I contacted them. Turns out the tickets they sold me didn't actually exist. I was pressured to accept balcony seats was was ofference a $60 price adjustment. I had to take it or leave it within 45 seconds.
The website showed a new, increased price, for balcony seats of $340/seat for the tickets, so I went ahead and accepted.
Bad mistake. Once I got off the phone, I poked some more and discovered that the site was not affiliated with 5th Ave, and in fact was a London outfit.
The $340/seat tickets were still available on 5th Ave's site for $95 each.
Scam, scam, scam.
