Getmetickets.net
Getmetickets.net was a British-owned company that traded in sold-out tickets. Get Me Tickets charged premium prices for "hard-to-get" tickets at "sold out" events anywhere in the UK & Ireland.[citation needed] While many customers did get the tickets they purchased, others did not. The company was eventually accused of fraud for selling tickets that they did not own,[1][2] and charging unfair prices for hard-to-get tickets that were not actually in their possession. The company and its owner Michael Rangos were fined several times by government standards agencies for these violations.[2][3][4]
On 6 February 2006, Getmetickets.net was wound up in the public interest by the Insolvency Service following an investigation by the Department of Trade and Industry.[5] The petition to wind up the company was heard by a court on 22 March 2006.[6]
