I was totally ripped off when buying 3 tickets for tennis at Roland Garros, paying 558 euros too much!

On January 12th I booked 3 tickets with worldticketshop, over the internet. As they were for seats at the Roland Garros tennis tournament, I presumed the prices would be standard, so did not think to compare prices. This was my big mistake! It was only later, months after I had paid, that I found out that I had been ripped off.

I paid 235 euros per seat, for the cheapest category of seats for 3rd June. The tickets were sent about a month before then, and I was extremely disappointed to find that only 2 of the seats were together - the other was far away in another part of the stadium.

I called and emailed the Company, but they were totally unsympathetic, saying that no more than 2 seats together were gauranteed, according to the terms and conditions. I checked, and this was true, but it had not occurred to me to check, as I assumed that by booking 6 months in advance the seats would surely be together...
When I then went on the official Roland Garros site, I discovered, to my horror, that the price I should have paid for each of my seats was only 49 euros - and I had handed over more than 4 times this amount!

I felt sick. Not only would I not be able to enjoy the matches sitting with my friends, but I had lost 558 euros.
I knew that airplane seats vary a lot in price, but had no idea the same went for sports tickets. I booked very early, so genuinely felt sure the price worldticketshop was charging me would be the same as anywhere else.
I am angry about the way I have been treated, and want to warn others not to fall into the same trap. Always go to the source for your tickets!
