 Concert Tickets - WillDeBeest
I had a look at Seatwave's Privacy Policy and its User Agreement. Paragraph 4.8 suggests that Harry in Godalming is, in fact, your seller, not the next buyer; and that he'll be paying a £20 admin charge to Seatwave for sending the wrong tickets; and that he's presumably run out of time to find another buyer before the concert. Hard luck, Harry.

He's also required to destroy any record he has of your address - which is impossible to enforce. But at least it suggests it's not a complete free-for-all, and that you've - consciously or otherwise - signed up to a user agreement under which Seatwave acts as no more than an information exchange and takes no part in the handling of the actual tickets. But it's also clear from the agreement that the buyer's address is routinely given to the seller, who then has a fair idea when that address might be unoccupied.

Having read this, I'm less sure that Trading Standards will be interested but it might be worth a call all the same. I expect many buyers are as surprised as you by the peer-to-peer nature of the arrangement, and there's certainly the potential for abuse. Your county council website is the place to start if you want to.
