  • I think everyone is getting a little heated over this. People do not have to buy tickets from Ebay do they? You are saying above in the post that if they are genuine fans then how does that make them feel. Well at the end of the day if they are genuine fan they have had the opportunity like the rest of us to register with the website along with everyone else and get the link sent through this morning. Supply and demand will always be there, I paid a fortune for my tickets to see England in the summer at the world cup yet I'm a member of the England+ members club. What goes around comes around IMO
    We took on Mr T and we won:D

    Shame it had to end, will have to get free stuff from comps now :beer:

    all fans would have got tickets at 10am
    not 10.45am
    and if they have been waiting 20 years then 10am - 10.05am they should have all been sorted,,,,,,,,,,
    otherwise they cant be that bothered to see them

    Agreed.
    I have had no problem getting tickets. So it's not as if Ticketmaster is overloaded at the monent.
    I just started looking last night, not even knowing that tickets were available from this Friday. But now here I sit, with my confirmation of my purchase of my tickets and very happy parents :beer:

    That is just so petty and nasty and I'm really sorry to hear that someone on here might have done that to you (innocent until proven guilty and all that). How do you think they found your booking though?

    Didn't know about the PreSale or would have joined .... Damn. I presume no-one has the link to PM? Dying to get hold of 2 for Twickenham. If not, does anyone know how it's best to get a ticket tomorrow at 9am? Best to phone or go to ticketmaster.co.uk?? Would appreciate any help! :o
  • They are already on ebay :eek:
  • They are already on ebay :eek:

    Hmmm. Pair of £65 tickets on for a 'buy it now' price of £220? Plus a fiver for P&P? That's what I call MoneySaving.......:mad:

    It's fine if us MSE'ers want to extract 'consumer revenge' on companies, and do our best to get bargains, etc. But when the self-same people go all out to screw over their fellow individuals, (i.e. buying tickets from a facility designed for fans, then touting them on at a vast profit) I can't help feeling there's a bit of hypocrisy going on.

    By all means, have a go at the big corporations. But last time I checked, MSE had nothing to do with this 'I'm alright Jack' attitude to other consumers.

    Which was the point I was making this morning. And no, I haven't snitched anyone up to the official site, I'm not that petty. ;)
