Hey guys
Please see this thread where tickets were being sold:
http://sagamer.co.za/forum/showthread.php?107495-2-x-Linkin-Park-Tickets
We had bought tickets a few months. Arrived at Soccer City on Saturday with the wife, tickets were scanned and we proceeded to sit down
30 minutes pass and another couple rocks up with exactly the same tickets....10 minutes pass and another couple pitches up, also with the same tickets. Computicket tell us that the seats are banned and everyone needs to leave the stadium. As you can imagine, very embarrassing especially having my wife with me
Anyone else that was scammed please do not hesitate to contact me, a few have done so already. Email

Please see mail below from Mr Jamie to a member on another forum. He does not have my sympathy, i know how manipulating these types of characters are:

I am, Everyone needs to send me whatever they spent, I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this right.

you planning on paying everyone back?
what about all the other costs associated with it? like the park and ride @ R120 per person then to be told by security to leave... in effect meaning waiting till the end of the concert before we could return home even.

To be honest, I am not sure, wasn't a huge amount, but that does not make anything better.

how many people did you sell to?

Hi,
This email is not my way of trying to clear my name or in anyway look for sympathy, its just a desperate mans last ditch effort to save even a little bit of his humanity.
I am not sure where to start or how to even put into words my disgust, dissapointment, and just how plain sickened I am with what I have done. I have finally hit rock bottom.
I know better than anyone that sorry fixes nothing and is in no way recompense for what I have done to you good people. I am not looking for a reprieve or any mercy, just laying everything out.
I am fully prepared for my punishment, that is to follow. I deserve nothing less.
3 Months ago I would never have been able to imagine myself ever doing something as scummy and under handed as what happened, I was of the express opinion that
nothing could bring me to that point ever. Up until a couple months ago I was a moderately succesful IT Techie, working for a decent company, life wasn't perfect but it was good.
2 Months ago I fell while riding home from work on my bike, broke my foot quite badly. My company wasn't happy with that at all, because they had no one to replace me with at my clients.
They told me when I went to them with the doctors note and x-rays, etc. that I had 3 options, either come back to work, the 9 weeks I would be off would be unpaid leave, or take immediate retrenchment, so that they could look for someone to fill my position.
To cut it shorter, I had no choice but to take the settlement, which was 1 month salary. My wife and I tried everything to make that 1 month salary last, but I am neck high in debt, our debit orders took my wifes salary completely and I have not found a job at all, the cast put off any interviewer I have seen thus far. My wife has been doing everything she can to carry me, I felt lower than pond scum, my step son was crying almost daily because food and the like became very scarce. I couldnt even try and pick up shifts as a waiter, because of my foot.
When I sold the tickets, I never meant to hurt anyone, I was desperate and at the lowest point in my life that I have ever been. I was so disgusted with what I was doing that I did it behind my wifes back, when I tell her tomorrow morning she will never look at me the same, When she sold the tickets not knowing what I had done, I messed up even more by not telling her. But O cant put into words how I felt and now feel. I am scum for what I have done.
Tomorrow I will go to the police station and turn myself in, Nothing in prison will compare to how I feel, knowing that I have done this to you. Please send me your banking details regardless and no matter how I will pay you back the money I took. This is in no way enough to make up for my actions.
Please understand I am sorry and this is not something I wanted to do ever, I am not the scammer type, that should be obvious by using banking details, credit card, my cell number, etc. I have never done this before and I am beyond sorry that I ever did. I know none of this is an excuse for what I did, but I am sorry.
Not sure what will happen when I go to the police station, but I am sure they will be incontact with you.
Sincerest apologies,
Jamie.
