    No they shouldn't, these tickets are given freely to people who wish to text and that donation goes to the charity. People or rather scum bags that sell them on ebay are just money grabbing slime balls with no intentions of donating anything to charity, just to line their own sad pockets IMO :mad:

    Why even enter to win if you've no intention of going, let someone else have the chance

    Not going to enter into a long winded discussion to prove you're wrong - but I'm sure there are people out there who are in dire need of my kidneys/liver. If I want to sell them - I can. They're mine. Would you tell me I can't? Ha ha!

    Look what the Law says. Cos you abide by it every day and you don't moan about it in general so don't try and be a vigilante now. The £1.50 texts were used to pay the bands/stars to appear. If you don't believe me check the Live 8 site and see what Good Ol' Sir Bob has to say about that... Didn't get them all to perform for free - so are you saying they're scum bags too? :confused:

    Sigh. I'm bored now. Just go and watch the concert. :p

    Actually they will because I have put in that bid, and actually think thats quite a bargain for that ticket, I will pay by paypal as well, so Ill have to add another £1 million for them plus another £2.5 million to ebay for their cut I expect. Could be quite an expensive day, planning to travel there by spacecraft so thatll be another £20 million, plus a takeaway afterwards which is baout £3

    No, no, no! For a money saver your budget is all out...! You haven't even CONSIDERED a hotdog in the grounds at £3000,000 or a can of Diet Coke for £650,000 :p:p:p

    Now you're going to have to get the spaceship to drop you off a few miles short of the ground and walk the rest of the way to save fuel costs and thus have something to eat and drink.

    ... and don't even get me started on a program.....! :rotfl:

    I won live 8 tickets through the original text competition. However, they havent arrived even though they took my postage money 2 weeks ago and the customer service line closed at 12pm today and they are taking no more queries. Booooooooooooo
