    I bought some from ticketline and I'm still worried about reliability. I would appreciate any feedback on what they are like.

    Aww, that just reminded me of when I took my young daughter to see Busted. We were just a few rows from the stage... her face was a picture, spent the whole time watching my kid rather than the band !!

    If I had gone to see Busted I would have been looking anywhere than at the stage!!!

    Ticketline, SeeTickets & Ticketmaster were all approved as the outlets for these tickets. Therefore no-one should have any issues regarding whether or not they should be trusted.

    Stargreen also had some, and I've used them before (plus they have a shack near Oxford Circus) so they will be okay.

    You're basically fine with anyone who's selling at face value....

    Fair enough if they are at face value, but people are blatantly playing off the misfortune of others - and their mindless stupidity to pay stupid prices.

    And why would the promoters say yes??
    Money through ticket sales goes to the band - say 35% or so per ticket.
    Any money being made from tickets by touts is straight into their own pocket - so Take That are not making the money.

    The fact is that touting is illegal, much like selling bootleg cd's or dvds.

    But, like I said, if people are dumb enough to pay £350+ for 2 hours at a concert then they evidently have money to burn!!
    The touts still have to buy the ticket originally.....I think there will be a few people eating thier words about selling when they see that there so called top price ticket is right at the back!!!!!!

    No it's not, in my opinion.

    I listed a pair of 4th Row tix the other week. They cost me £35. I listed them at 99p and sold them for £100+. At the weekend I received the following mail from the buyer:

    Just to let you know that i received the tickets in the post this morning. Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for a fantastic service, great communication and and a speedy delivery. I will be sure to leave you positive feedback, you're a real credit to ebay, it's just a shame there aren't more like you!

    Now what's the problem ?

    If I bought some bread, the supermarket gets the money. If I make a sandwhich with that bread and sell it then I get the money !

    Take That have made what they've asked for. Promoters have made what they've asked for.

    No it is not. Just against the terms and conditions of the promoters but certainly not illegal.

    Precisely, so why make the comment in the first place ?

    Agreed ! One listing I saw guaranteed the front blocks as they were top price tickets !!
