    Grand Old Team does not endorse or facilitate any ticket transactions made via this forum. All transactions are undertaken entirely at your own risk.

    To help protect yourself, please read the following guidance carefully before buying or selling:

    💳 Payment Method. Never pay via direct bank transfer. This offers zero buyer protection - once the money is sent, it cannot be reversed and your bank is unlikely to refund any losses. Always research your payment method before using it. PayPal, for example, offers meaningful buyer protection and is strongly recommended over a bank transfer.

    🤝 Where possible, arrange to meet face to face - ideally at an Everton match - and exchange tickets in person.

    🔍 Check Their Posting History Use the thread's search function to see if the seller has posted tickets before. If other members appear to have bought from them previously, reach out via private conversation to verify their experience.

    👤 Check Their Forum Profile Review the seller's forum history. Have they been a member for a long time, or did they register recently? Do other members speak positively of them? A long-standing, active member with good feedback is a much safer bet.

    • If in any doubt, don't proceed - contact a moderator of Grand Old Team here.

I'm glad to hear the member you refer to returned your money. That member, as you noted has been on here for years and has a lot of positive ticket exchanges reported.

We've had two confirmed instances of foul play since this thread started in 2012.

One was a non Evertonian opportunist who exploited desperation when we were at Wembley, one was yesterday.

It's exceptionally rare then that fans "rip off" other fans on here, but still - the thread title now gives the best advice - read the first post which includes;

All online purchases carry some risk. To help mitigate that risk, we recommend;
  • Payment Method. Do not, under any circumstance pay via direct bank transfer. This payment method offers you no protection whatsoever. Once you pay, there no way to reverse the payment and your bank will not refund, or track any money lost. Do your home work on payment methods, understand what, if any protection each offer. As an example, Paypal offers some valuable added protection.
  • Where possible meet face to face, ideally at one of Everton's matches and exchange in person.
  • If a person attempts to communicate via GOT private messaging, texts or other messaging services rather than through an open forum, please be cautious.
  • Use the search function in the thread to see if the poster has offered tickets before, contact via private conversation anyone who appears to have bought from the poster in the past to verify.
  • Check the poster's history on this site - has the poster registered here recently or been here a long time?
  • If in any doubt, contact a moderator of GrandOldTeam here.

I'm really disappointed to report @Brunoderulo has scammed a member from this thread. All the details we hold for this member, IP and email address and his bank details will be reported accordingly.

I think my post yesterday could make a few a little paranoid.

While not necessarily a bad thing, it's also important to consider context.

Just from my side my issue was with the person a paid for the tickets. I have no issue with the site .

A couple of dodgy posters shouldn’t be allowed to get the ticket thread shut as it helps blues out big time .

Hi Stumps
Sorry if I offended by liking your post.
It was in support of your intention to name these "tools".
It was never intended to like the fact you had been scammed
