who wants to admit they have been SCAMMED? NOT ME, AND I GUESS THAT IS HOW YOU FEEL! SO IMAGINE WHAT I FEEL LIKE, I HAVE PAID A $9,200. DEPOSIT TO "AN AGENT" FOR APHEX TWIN IN PARIS. MY COMPANY HAS A REPUTIBLE RECORD OF PRODUCING GOOD EVENTS IN NYC AND THE TALENT SHOWING UP- SO I HAVE MUCH MORE TO LOSE IF THIS EVENT DOES NOT HAPPEN THAN THE FEW $$$ EACH ONE OF YOU(s) WILL LOSE IF THIS SHOW DOES NOT HAPPEN. NOT TO DOWN PLAY THE INCONVENIENCE THIS HAS CAUSED EVERYONE. WE ARE NOW PUTTING A BID IN FOR APHEX TWIN ALONG WITH THE EXPLANATION OF OUR/YOUR SITUATION TO REPHLEX. WE HAVE BEGUN TO HYPE UP THE EVENT AND SOLD MANY TIX (all of which will get a refund if the show does not happen). I AM LOOKING FORWARD THAT THE SHOW WILL HAPPEN, EITHER WAY WE WILL KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED! ANDY

i still don't understand HOW ticketbastard could/can sell tickets for a show that wasn't gonna happen??
i mean don't they confirm with the artist or do they just turn a blind eye and take peoples hard earned money??
it's scarey to think this kind of scam can even happen. =/

It isn't hard to fake something like this.
Face it. You have been ripped off. If you feel frustrated at yourself for being an idiot. It is entirely justified. Idiot.

yeah i have been ripped off, but it doesnt mean im an idiot
it was a well done scam
he convinced the club, and they sold tickets
how am I supposed to shrug that off as a hoax, when the roxy, an established and famous club says its happening?
fuck you

All you need to do is to call a club and discuss it. I used to work in the theatre and a lot of tours are booked before the headline is even confirmed. But usually you can't buy ticket until it is.

I was skeptical, but thought it was for real and all that. I really shouldn't care, since I'm all the way across the continent, and in a completely different country than New York. But yah. 'FUCK" for alll the people that did buy the tix.

My brother got a gig at a club last night. Played with a certain DJ Dragyn from here in Edmonton. Dragyn said he's talked and DJed with Mr. Richard D. James. He's talked with him many times, and also has a signed Analogue Bubblebath I cd single. :-O!!!!

he said he works for " stuck on earth " these are NY party promoting companies which would do anything to make a dime which is why the rave scene has gone to shit in NY and why the city has gotten so tough on clubs.. this should've been expected .. they usualy pull of scams like illegally turning off the water at parties illegally then charging outrages prices for bottled water! FUCK STUCK ON EARTH theres probably a long list of other scams they've done just check any message board regarding the ny rave scene

I'm hoping that's now it's Monday there'll be some updated news on this...bit tricky to sort out at the weekend...
Stuck on Earth have a website & web forum over at www.stuckonearth.com, in which I've posted a question about the gig...
Jeff Cohen replied...
"we are looking into this matter right away, at this time I have no idea why that is posted on rephlex, we have a signed contract with his manager and we sent deposits. For some reason if the show doesn't happen, but as far as we know we have signed contracts with them and they have our money, everyone will get a full re-fund, we are a very reliable and honest company "...
Let's hope we hear something new today....

What gave it away from the start? I didn't see too much about it, but from what I've read it seemed awfully genuine. I'm not sure what would have made it look suspicious to anyone.
