    my aunt put her tickets for u2 up last year for £20 each (4 tickets, couldn't make it) and ended up getting £450 for the lot. now that is what i call more money than sense.



    samanthakind....a nice profit indeed. I actually got slightly more than that for my 2 tickets.........I must have been lucky getting 3 very keen buyers! To be fair I think having a large number of feedback on my account helped too....the low feedback folk were getting a lot less....

    heaven scent............. the ones who bought the V festival tickets had exactly the same chance of getting them as you did over the phone/web..... what they do with them is their choice. Only a tiny minority will sell them on....but it's a free world.

    if i had known then what i know now
  • I think it should be stopped. Why should genuine fans not get to see the band/artist because someone wants to make a profit. I have been looking for tickets for westlife at edinburgh castle and some numpty is selling 2 X £35 tickets for £350 BIN. Sheer greed!
