    It's very wrong to buy tickets and intend to flog them to a genuine fan for a highly elevated price...life isn't about screwing other people.

    However anybody who pays over the odds for tickets is off their rocker in my opinion anyway.
    I wouldn't care if a newly resurrected Elvis Presley was performing a one off night of music before shuttling back off this mortal coil...anything over £40 a ticket and I aint buying.

    Yes, because a DVD player and a ticket are soooo comparable arent they. :rolleyes:

    I know it can go either way because I have bought tickets for less than face value in the past, and also paid a lot more than face value.

    At the end of the day, you are not forcing people to pay your price - they bid for it and know exactly what they are doing and how much they are willing to pay.

    Yet you are relisting them because they didn't fetch enough the first time round??? :confused:

    They weren't meant to be comparable. But the Ebayer buying the tickets to make a quick buck on and the Ebayer scanning the Grabbit board looking for the bargains to make a quick buck on are. I should know, I do both :D
