Hi there - I'm new here.

Has anyone on here bought any tickets from www.secretmusic.co.uk?

Can't seem to find any info on here about it.  They claim to sell tickets at near enough  face value but you can't pay by credit card/debit card so you have to transfer funds into a bank account.

The website looks pretty professional - apart from a few spelling mistakes here and there.

If it's legit it's a good deal but alarm bells are ringing at the back of my mind.

Any info would be gratefully received.

Cheers Jo

Hi monkeyjojo

Thanks for pointing this one out to us, we haven't come across it before. It's registered to a Lee Smith, Montpelier Street, Knightsbridge, London.

There are a number of things we don't like about it - the prime one being the fact that you have to pay by bank transfer - rings big alarm bells to us.

They are not VAT registered, tha's not right.

There are no proper contact details on the site.

They also seek to make members pay for membership

There is no such thing as "free gigs" on a regular basis

Their terms and conditions say that they accept no responsibility for anything...

We don't like the spelling errors on a site like this

Time will tell but we wouldn't touch it with a bargepole...

Hi,

I wondered since you posted this message whether you did use 'secretmusic.co.uk' to buy tickets and if you have a review for them?

Thanks,

Laura

I too have been scammed by secret music to the cost of £450 for three tickets to the recent Secret Garden Party. 

At first all was seemingly above board, and in our initial email contact they seemed offended at my suggestion that there are a lot of scam sites out there, and theirs appeared too good to be true! I was concerned with the spelling mistakes etc, but thought no I will give them the benefit of the doubt. 

I have had what seemed like genuinely apologetic emails about their failure to deliver after confusion with printed names on tickets, but only a day or two before the festival, which was a special occasion.  Mildly inconvenient to say the least...

I actually bought two bonafide tickets from the official site as some late ones were released.  Secret Music told me I would get my refund last week, and then I received a further investigation email, and since then I have mailed them at least every other day, and nothing has come back. 

I am going to try my bank tomorrow, I paid with my debit card - am wondering what the outcome will be? 

Very disappointing...

Hi there Searly

I bought 2 tickets in April for the Lady Gaga concert. They were £140! It got nearer and nearer to the date of the concert so I said that I'd contact the police about them not sending them. They said they'd send them in within 14 days and they haven't. Now they said they won't send them to me and I should fill out the refund form. So I have loads of times with no luck. I'm going to the police some time this week though. The concert is in 2 weeks :(

I also bought for the lady gaga concert paying out £280. They haven't replied to any of my emails, so it seems we've been scammed.

what steps are you now taking, as I am willing to support your process, and take similar action

Regards

I emailed Gumtree as that's where I found his advertisement at first, they gave me his personal email for Gumtree and his IP address:

email account with Gumtree: harrymorgan80@aol.co.uk

I looked online at his IP and he's located in Dagenham
