    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.

    Doesn't necessarily mean they won't sell. There are so many on there at the moment, with better views, they will obviously go first. Those people with the not so good seats are better off waiting til the last minute, to see if there are any desperate Spice Girls fans who didn't manage to get tickets...........there must be some..........:rolleyes: :D

  • looks like we are gonna wait now as Ebay is flooded with these. Some are going for less then there face value too so i think it's better to wait till nearer the time as i think they'll be in more demand then

    As to those who think it was out of order to buy to sell on i partially agree with you and when my wife registered we were expecting 1 Possibly 2 tickets offered but when 6 was offered we just thought we'd be stupid not too !!! the sellers are to blame TBH they should never offer 6 tickets per person it's asking for trouble

  • Wow thats not good :confused: but on an upside we have managed to sell (at face value) a ticket to one of her best friends and have sent out an Email to all our other friends offering the same as it'd be much nicer to go with a group of mates so there may be no need to sell them just yet ;) buying these 6 tickets could have been a blessing in disguise

    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!

    Regardless of the moral values of touting I want to disagree with your point completely. A lot of touts are involved in criminal activity and quite frankly a lot of them are pricks and are often quite violent to young people in order to make a quick buck. I've seen instances where regular punters have offered a face value ticket to somebody whilst they were trying to sell their over priced ones and they quickly got violent. Yeah one offs etc, but generally touts aren't nice people.

    wait a couple of weeks. Tickets sell badly when everyone first gets them and days before concert so do maybe a month before.and get your feedback up.
