Purchasing tickets on Kijiji

[DiamondLil]

Hi Fellow Canucks!!!

I want to purchase tickets for One Directions concert in Montreal this july from a seller in Kijiji... Whats the best way to do this? I am just scared of sending this much money to a stranger, is a certified cheque or western union the best way to go (I am thinking they would have to show their id's to cash the cheque or pick up the $$ from western union). Any hints and suggestions are welcome!

I would be cautious about purchasing tickets online (with the exception of Ticketmaster).

I have heard stories of people selling tickets and calling and saying they were stolen and the vendor issues them new tickets and voids your tickets. You don't know till your at the door that your tickets have been cancelled and you can't get a refund as they weren't sold by an authorized dealer.

I'm sure there are good people out there selling tickets sometimes but a few bad apples can ruin it and I wouldn't want to see that happen. Personally I wouldn't buy tickets off anyone I didn't know well.

I wish I didnt - I paid for them a week ago, the seller said he will send them express mail, and so far I havent received anything.

Might have to make a trip to the police to report this fraud.
