no kylie tickets were not banned by ebay. kylie asked ticketmaster to look into cancelling tickets where possible when they turned up on ebay. ticketmaster could only possibly cancel tickets if they were 100% certain that those tickets on ebay were bought from ticketmaster in the first place.

i think ebay banned diana tickets for the concert later this year.....but then so did all other internet auction sites.

ebay have been allowing people to sell tickets since day 1 when they started. why should the stop now?

i wasnt sure thats why i put a ? after my question but i knew i had heard something about the tickets being banned or stopped

alooof

kylie promoters cancelled tickets that they knew were being resold. however this causes the problem that they can still sell them and the one who loses out is the person who buys them off the tout. this is what makes policing the ticket resale rule so hard


in special circumstances, ebay may be asked to ban sale of an events tickets. this happened with live8, glastonbury and the diana memorial concert. (ebay always ask for a few pairs of tickets for a charity auction), but apart from that it would not be in ebays interest to stop ticket sales, it generates way too much revenue
