How can they justify this price?

The tickets went on sale a couple of weeks ago. It would've cost them about £170 (plus £2 admin). How can they justify such a price hike? :mad: Especially as more tickets will be going on sale on Friday.
If it was a genuine mistake and they already had tickets (as some other sellers claim), then why not sell at the price they bought them for?

They want to make money. People don't have to buy if they don't want to.0

They don't have to justify the price. Either buy it, or don't.0

At those prices (£85 a ticket) it's going to be full of wannabe middle class w4nkers out for the day with Tarquin and Elizabeth in the BMW X6 family runaround, all sipping champagne and pretending to be concerned about charity/etc.
Not my scene im afraid, in fact i'd pay not to be there......
The guy on Ebay making £900+ profit out of a charity event, he wants shooting.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Its also a 'Buy Now or Best Offer' listing which means you of course offer what you think is fair, but the seller has no obligation to accept your offer.0

Our children are certianly not called Tarquin or Elizabeth, and we most definitely don't drive a BMW of any kind. We prefer beer to champagne. I guess we should sell our tickets then
I just think that charging 1k for charity tickets is quite stingy really. The trouble is, when the prices start to get higher, people think that they need to get in quick to get them, so they end up paying more and more for them.0 -
They can't. It's called touting.
Worth a report.
5t.What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?0
