    Advice wanted on Selling Spice Girl Tickets !…..my wife has managed to obtain 6 Spice-Girl Tickets ..
    Your wife bought 6 Spice girls tickets? :eek:

    1…Divorce her

    2…Change your name by deed poll

    3…Categorically deny that you ever even knew her, let alone married her.


    With a bit of luck nobody need ever find out about the tickets.

    I'm probably not going to be popular saying this but this sort of thing really winds me up!!! I'm all for people selling their ticket if they genuinly cant go due to something else cropping up but it really gets me that people buy these tickets to sell on to get a profit.

    concert organisers have started to hike up prices so that people will be less likely to buy in bulk but this makes it even harder for those who actually really want to go to be able to afford it.

    if you had no intention of using all the tickets you shouldn't have bought them in the first place.

    I do see where you are coming from. But it is too easy now to get tickets and then sell them on for a profit. On the other side of it, I paid a fortune for Justin Timberlake VIP tickets and Rolling Stones tickets on Ebay not that long ago. Yes I paid over the odds but it was my choice to do it, no-one put a gun to my head and the sort of tickets I was after, there was no way I could have got them myself, they always go after a few seconds or to agencies so I was glad there was another way, even if it meant paying more. :confused:

    at least before ebay people used to earn the money they sold the tickets for - anyone stupid enough to stand outside a venue in the freezing cold for a couple of hours selling tickets deserves to make a quid or 2!

    Looking at completed listings on ebay the block A, B & C seem to be selling but the ones on the outer edges are not attracting any bidders. Even one listing starting at 99p had no bids.
