Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751	March 1st, 2006 at 08:50am NeoSteph: I buy tickets off ebay, if i need to go to a gig. I also sell tickets on ebay if i can my hands on them, there was a time when i believed it was wrong and i still think it is. but if you can't change the system.....exploit it. granted i don't buy 30 tickets, in fact most ticket stations will put a 6 tickets maximum on accounts, but i managed to get 4 red hot chilli pepper tickets for earls court so i'm selling two of them. I don't feel bad about it because i've had to buy tickest of obscene amounts of money. i think it's disgusting and exploitation of other people.

If people are willing to buy them, then it's their choice. From my view i make very little money and this way i can make some cash. I would never sell charity tickets like live 8 but anything else is fair game. Also why is it disgusting, what the difference between buying it from ebay and from a reatailer, granted it's a bit more money but it's very legal and it gives people a better chance of retaining a ticket, seeing as ticket sellers can be very corrupt with who they sell to.

Biffy Clyro Basket Case Age: 17 Gender: Male Posts: 16013	March 1st, 2006 at 05:02pm i dont like your post. it implies that ticket touts began touting, as it were, when ebay began. wrong. touts have been around for ages and will be around for longer still. the way to avoid touts is to buy the tickets on the day they come out. ever thought of that?
Bloodraine Post Whore Age: 17 Gender: Female Posts: 24435	March 1st, 2006 at 05:05pm It isn't just concert tickets too, I'd like to add. Look at the world cup tickets, for example. My Dad once sold his concert ticket on eBay (he couldn't go because of a funeral). He sold it at the value he bought it, so he wasn't deliberately exploiting people.

And yes i did go down the day the tickets were realeased but they ahd sold out on line, and unless i was willing to camp outside all night the what else could i do? They shouldnt be allowed to sell 30 tickets at a time, its bad and disgusting.

chump Moderator Age: 22 Gender: Female Posts: 6661	March 2nd, 2006 at 04:11pm Green Day came here for only one concert in 2004 and no one knew about it... They sold the tickets 2 weeks before the concert. 700 tickets, one ticket: 12 € I bought a ticket one day after the concert was announced... on eBay for 70 €. I was too late. Life's like that... People wanna make money. Deal with that.
