Help !!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine booked a ticket for her 16 year old son, ( first festival for him), with SOS Masterticket, who appear to have gone into liquidation.

I am absolutely desperate for a full three days - camping/non camping - ticket for the Reading Festival which takes place next weekend.

Any ideas, help, tickets etc. mega appreciated, particularly as I checked out SOS for her and they seemed genuine.

for the ticket: get on ebay

for getting the money back from sos: no idea sorry


there'll be plenty on ebay. being this close to the festival make sure the buyer is near enough to you to be able to collect it in person. ebay will be flooded with tickets. i sold a pair for reading last year after i couldn't make it and only just made the retail ticket price back.

there is also a site where people sell tickets for face value, but i can't remember what its called

PS - check gumtree as well.

Assuming she paid by credit card, can she not claim from them ? No help on reading tickets though sorry.

the wesbite i mentioned is:

i think there are others.

also think about posting a wanted ad. on efestivals forums, but i would say with only a week before the gig its a bit like a newbie posting on here and asking about planes and conveyor belts.

HTH & good luck
