    I *think* I got two tickets x2 (for 2 dates) from seetickets. Was told the confirmation email would be at least 3 hours... it's been about 5 hours now... should I be starting to get worried?

    Brilliant

    Wish more people would bid stupid amounts and ruin the auction for the touts. It would totally be worth a negative feedback!

    It looks like the sellers on ebay are getting played, most if not all the people bidding on the auctions are bidder1,bidder2 etc.

    Some of these sellers have close to 100 tickets to sell, how did they manage that?

    Anyone?
    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    Hi itsarichmansworld,

    We have a current thread on finding Take That tickets so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the replies together.

Im not really a tke that fan but i know how frustrating it is when genuine people wanna buy and the touts get hold of them first as this happened to me TWICE when the killers were herre in november and then last month in birmingham and wolverhampton. carry on the good work i say

    Bidder 1 and 2 etc etc is the seller having private bidders.... nothing to do with people getting spam bids in.

    If people do get spam bids in then all they will do is resell them on ebay again until they are sold. If they are clever then they can block bidders with less than x amount of feedback too. So really its a waste of time and effort. Still agree that the tickets should be named and have to show ID at venue imo to get in to clamp down on the idiot multi-buyers :)

    I think all auctions hide the bidders identity now. Only the seller can see who is bidding, it's new. I think so anyway.
