Would that be the link that says:
Which backs up fini's (correct) assertion that there is no such thing as a small claims court, just a special procedure for dealing with small claims in a county court.

Basically your wrong, reading the info posted below ( from the same original HMCS link) shows that the court could even be held in your front room if agreed by both parties, the judge will be in attendance as will any other legal reps who might be involved so I think it shows that there definitely is such a thing as a small claims court as I don't think it applies to any other court procedure do you?
Another link to a specialist small claims website , I think you should email them & point out their errors.

HMCS EX306 page 8
Small claims hearings can be held in a courtroom or often in the judge’s room (sometimes called the judge’s chambers) with the parties sitting around a table. The hearings are generally less formal and held in public. This means that members of the public can attend and hear the case.
A judge might agree to hear your case in private, where no members of the public can attend:
• if both parties have agreed to this
• where the hearing takes place on site, for example a home or a business premises because the claim relates to work done there
• where publicity would defeat the object of the hearing
• where the interests of a child or a protected party need to be considered
• where it includes confidential information, or
• where the court considers that it is necessary in the interests of justice.

Exactly, since there was no intent to permanently deprive there is no theft. A contract of sale was entered into, which then fell through. Why do people not get arrested every time they default on a payment? Because it isn't theft, it's a civil matter, no mens rea.

Your assertions are just all wrong. Could I ask of your legal qualifications? I'm guessing they're a decent amount smaller than my own.
Just because a case could be held off-site does not mean that it is a special court that deals with it. Parts of murder trials are occasionally held off-site, but that does not mean that there is a 'murder court'. Voire dires are very often heard in the judge's chambers, that does not make a special court for each trial that happens to give rise to a voire dire. Family hearings involving residence of children are often heard in the judge's chambers. Another type of case that can be heard outside of court are applications for temporary injunctions - such emergency applications are very often made over the telephone. There are numerous other examples.
How do you explain how a small-claims track case can become a fast-track claim case in the same court room with the same judge if there is a special magical small claims court?

Who gives a toss about the specifics when the wording 'small claims court' is used by the BBC- frequently on Watchdog,national newspapers, Citizens advice will direct you to make an application. What's the big deal that requires an argument?
All I put in my original post is to take him to the small claims court so cut the crap & get on with your knitting

I was going to post similar.
Me to, I think some people just enjoy nitpicking
I actually work in a courthouse, altho not in a legal sense but I do hear refs to the small claims court quite frequently ( albeit from laymen)
Indeed, no argument necessary at all - it doesn't exist in the same way you can't be prosecuted for trespassing. Common legal myth held by laymen. If the UK did have a small claims court it would make a massive difference for the interests of justice, claimants, the government, legal practitioners and the legal system generally - luckily and happily we don't.
Trespass is a civil offence - so you can be "prosecuted" through a civil action.
However, trespass on certain governmental and crown properties IS a crime for which you can be arrested also other privately owned areas for instance:
* Rail Yards
* Railway Lines
* Electricity Sub Stations
* Power Plants
* Gas Works
You can't be prosecuted if it's a civil action - you are sued.
The action will be physically the same as a trespass, but it will not be trespass itself that you will be prosecuted for. Ergo, it is not possible to be prosecuted for trespass in and of itself.
ALL Visa cards are covered by the Chargeback scheme, not just credit cards.
To all those people going on about using the courts - too much overkill! The OP has already gone to his bank and told them to reverse the payment, that's all that is needed.
The guy is conning you.
Ticketmaster take the money for the tickets when he books them. He would have known this 11 months ago when he booked them. If his card was rejected it would have been so at the outset.
Did you get any emails showing booking?
Did you get any confirmation of his booking?
Did you get any information from him about the confirmation that he had paid?
I would suspect he is doing this to about 20 people at the same time. £20k in his pocket for months claiming he booked them all tickets, when he's probably got none. Nice work
