    they have now relisted the tickets for £100 each and have hidden their feedback!! Some people are so pathetic to get out of fulfilling their legal obligations. I have bought more tickets now at a higher price but I have spoken to the seller and will be getting them in the next couple of days.

    I didn't think it was possible to hide your feedback as a selller? Have they changed the rules again..I can never keep up.

    It shouldn't matter though as the overall feedback can still be seen and if you left the neg it will still show up as a recent neg and that may deter buyers.

    2 wrongs don't make a right, why risk your own account by behaving as pathetically as they have done?

    I did a search for 'concert tickets' then clicked on 'buy it now' and then clicked on 'newly listed'. There aren't that many with £100 as the price with their feedback hidden. But I could be totally wrong!

    Well that is why you have several accounts like most people have anyway. Two wrongs certainly dont make a right but if people cannot play by the rules why should I or others

    If they are not his tickets and his friend, the 'owner' has 'died' then those tickets now form part of his friends estate and he cant legally sell them :p

    I have been in the same place as the original OP. Thankfully I managed to get the tickets through my local Gumtree at facevalue. I didn't like purchasing from a 'Tout' on Ebay, but my son had promised as a birthday present before realising they were 'sold out'.

    Try 'Gumtree' or 'Scarlet mist' in the future.

    I hope the hassle was worth it! The concert my son went to he wasn't fussed, it was more for his friend....he didn't much like the concert and someone urinated on him to boot!
