  1. Oh yeah 'cos of there fucking absolutely disgraceful fucking rule about 10% of the takings go to the charity. What a fucking pile of crap! Sorry, I don't mind when people sell on tickets too much, it's always happened, but when it's a gig for the TCT or any bloody amazing charity it makes me mad.
  2. Yeah it's the FA's (or FIFA's) rule not to sell on tickets that you have bought (technically even my Dad isn't allowed my season ticket on the days he goes) as you could be selling to banned fans or rivals. So if there's even a hint of them on ebay they/you are punished (especially if your details are anywhere). It is the music industries and the promoter's fault that gig tickets can be sold on ebay as this is one of a few ways of reselling unwanted tickets as used to be the way when ebay started out.
  3. Lol! I hope you started the lesson with "Touting is bad" Start telling all youngster's this and hopefully it will stop, just like underage drinking... Oh
  4. looks very like ukticketfactory.co.uk in the layout sort of thing i'd be very sceptical off buyin from anywhere that wasnt viagogo/getmein/ebay tbh - all these are protected and some are run by the ticket agencies
  5. it all depends how many dont sel before the gig - i mean ive seen gigs where touts are still walkin around offerin tickets and acceptin below face value prices cos they just want them off their hands - and whats better than makin a tout lose money
  6. cos if its musebay u can easily get a tout uninterested... meet at the gig? meet in person? talk to the regularly thru email/on here before you send everything as the tickets wont be around for a while even just mentioning stuff like this can make touts just bored of waiting and give up on them EDIT: but yeah sadly this is common at box offices - im pissed i didnt go down now a couple of hours early
  7. i hate it when i see that - especially when its from geniune ppl cos they just get snapped up by touts if theyre face value i mean every band no has a fourm and altho most arent as good as he for stuff like that u can always make a thread offerin tickets at face value - ive needed to do this and got good responses back
  8. Haha that's the loopiest of loopholes in the loopiest of universes ever!!! So they're pretty much saying that they are just an advertising site that doesn't care what is advertised on it's site and it's up to users to sort out what's on it There is no difference between that and touting btw, with touting you choose what price you are willing to go up to and if outside who you are willing to pay
  9. because footie tickets are tret very seriously in this issue due to fakes and banned ppl gettin in the rules were brought in after the tradegy of '89 and the taylor report i wudnt mind if they brought in the same rules like - i just hope it doesnt take the same thing
  10. i have had this - and also had to take days off work to recieve them the day before it is especially bad if they use royal mail - who you would think would be decent at mailing stuff but dont worry they are normally good it has been an exception compared to most gigs EDIT: not that ticketmaster are much better (unless you use that new nifty print off thing they have for some gigs)
  11. just remember not to rush into buying tickets if you decide to pay over the odds on ebay - tickets usually drop down in price after a few days once the adrenline of missing out on tickets has died down also remember some tickets for most areas are held back due to production reasons so don't rush at all on ebay plus if you wait you can always strike it lucky on musebay
