Surely the ebays of this world should ban the selling of these "free" tickets, its a nonsense. Some fool has one ticket with 13 bids up to the hefty price of £800, the bidders identity however is protected........yeah right!!

Ebay HAVE banned the sale of free tickets - they just take a while to be spotted and removed.

Some sellers try and avoid being spotted by using a different category - as those in the 'tickets' category, listed with a face vale of zero, are picked up first.

I was wondering this too - is it a party with food provided? any music? I have some tickets but would live to know whats instore before I decide who to take with me.

According to offical tickets there will be outlets to purchase food. Another chance for these suppliers to rip us off.
