    i have bought tickets myself on ebay same as u missed ticket sale i only buy from people with good rep look to 100% and over 100 sales look to see if they have sold before... i have been lucky i did pay over the odds but both times worked for me

    Try seatwave.com I have bought and sold on there before and never had a problem. Otherwise just check on the sellers rating on ebay and hope for the best!

    In the past I have both bought and sold on ebay, not one problem. Yes be cautious, check feedback etc...
    You can find some great bargains too, I've always found ebay cheaper than seatwave & getmein.

    If you can wait for nearer the date, tickets will be available from people that can't make it, not necessarily the touts and there can be some good deals as they just want to sell, not make a profit.
