I'd imagine tickets will sell out pretty quickly

    I am considering getting some to list on ebay cloer to the date but am concerned by this from the booking site T &C's:-

    Once purchased, tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged, refunded or returned unless the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the event are significantly changed after an order is placed (significant changes being a change of headline act (concerts only), venue or show time).

    Wht do you think?
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

    Are you a tout? - looking about at this forum for methods of fleecing other consumers!!!!

    I thought this forum was about getting a good deal - not looking for deals to make profit out of other consumers! - It seems alot more common and acceptable on this forum nowadays.

    Why dont you buy the amount of tickets you require and let others have a chance of buying them.:mad:

    No, I am not a tout. Having Seen Morrissey several times in the past, I want a pair for myself, and to save money, was considering subsidising these by buying another pair to sell on. I accept your point but don't really think that makes me a hardened profiteering tout.

    (you'd have to pay me to go to a Morrissey concert I'm afraid lol !) all tickets have some small print that states you cant resell them, ebay are meant to be putting a stop to people selling tickets on there but think they are dragging their heels as it is a big earner for them!

    I would ignore this. it is pretty standard on all tickets, but the only way it can be enforced in law is at sporting events.

    you never get asked for proof of ID by the door staff at a concert - If you've got a genuine ticket, you get in - simple as that
  • wouldn't bother selling on ebay
    tickets will not sell out like other groups
    also he usually announces additional dates after the first batch have gone depending on sales

    Although he's pretty popular, he's not popular enough for people to be gagging for tickets to venues this size. If you are interested in seeing him, my advice would be to wait until nearer the date of the gig and have a look on ebay. Less than face value from a tout? Lovely...

    That would be a good trick in Wembley Arena, all the other dates are booked by other groups.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    On the tour earlier in the year, tickets sold out within an hour of going on sale and they were selling for £200-£250 a pair on ebay at one stage. I had to queue and I was just happy to get the two I wanted. Quite frankly, if I'd paid £250 I would have been gutted because the concert at the Sage was dire. Mozza took a strop, went off after about 45 mins on stage and no encore.

    Thats true, you would find it hard to shift his tickets on ebay for anything near the face value TBH.
    He has a niche fanbase.

    I'll be going BTW :0) wooohoooo
