    I've seen them on ebay, but nobody has bid for them yet. Hope they don't either, or they will be getting ripped off!!

    I don't really agree with people selling them on ebay, but then if someone missed out and really wants to go, and is happy to pay it's not really a 'rip off'.

    yeah suppose, never thought of it like that, but surely it should say on the advert that the tickets were free?

    With event tickets you're supposed to state the face value, so you can report the auctions if they don't

    It does say on the back of the ticket that they are non transferable. Does it mean we cant give them to someone else??? If that is the case they shouldn't be allowed to be sold on ebay.....

    Got 8 tickets today - don't even remember applying!!

    Giving them to the lads who are helping us move this weekend - have a feeling they will appreciate them more than a thank you card and bunch of flowers ;)

    They do say non-transferrable but there is no name printed on the ticket so I think it would be hard to enforce as I doubt they have a list of names!!!

    I can no longer go unfortunately and have already paid for a hotel room. I will be putting them on ebay (but will make it clear they were free) to try and recompense for my outgoings. However, I htink they are unlikely to sell as there are so many so if anyone wants them PM and I will send them out if you paypal me the postage.
    Irony.

    Every ticket got a barcode and an individual number printed on them. Thought perhaps If they have a computer system to check when you arrive.
    I dont want to send my brother-in-law half a cross the country to watch this and then he get stopped because Im not with him and my name was booking the tickets......
