2 x Glasto tickets on eBay

[Rhyscot]

And how would young Rhyscot feel about having to tell his mate 'Ive got a ticket but you haven't'? Would you really leave a young lad to have break that news, make that choice of whether he goes on his own and drops his mate or just misses out?

Come on, you're getting there

[BobCarolgees]

Would you say selling at £400 (£200 a ticket) is touting ? Because its more than face price, but due to ebay and paypal commision, is 10% take off, which means they will be £360, so techinqually they arnt making a profit.

[fullalove]

the insults and bad feeling in this thread is getting me down .

surely your anger could be put to better use people!!

for what its worth my opinon would be that the comp should be open only to people who have registered for glastonbury,that way only people who wanna go can win.

[norainplease]

Surely the ebay seller has mates he could have given them to...that would be much nicer.

I think it doesn't seem too dodgy & the auction is safe; i'm just glad i already have my ticket which was delivered several weeks ago

You seem to be reading an awful lot that I haven't typed.

[Rhyscot]

You have to be registered to win them. Id say you have to be registered and not already in possession of a ticket to win it

Haha this sale is up to £720 and has 4 days to run, which is far too much. I remember all this a few years back where GFL (allegedly) would be bidding on tickets and not paying.

IMO i think this sale will be pulled or fail completely.

woah this is heavy - too much politics man.

let's all just take a minute to think of something that makes us happy.

[yasgursfarmhand]

They are making 100% profit, they won them in a competition. Strange how they say e-bay gives the go ahead for this.

Why enter a competition for a prize you can't use............ to make money!

I've bought tickets for a gig before and have had to sell them on but I used Scarlet Mist

consider this:

I have tickets for the festival.

I enter the competition to win tickets on spot the bull.

I win and sell my tickets at face value to someone who is desperate.

I tell orange my name is [ticket buyer 1] and [ticket buyer 2].

I recoup the money i spent on tickets, and so have effectively won 2 free tickets to the festival, plus made someone very happy in that they get to go to glasto.

Any moral objections here?

[oyyouno]

However, there are still tickets available so anyone bidding is balmy.

[musky]

Its the only interpretation to put on it.

But to the buyer, an over-priced ticket is an over priced ticket, regardless of where it comes from. It's either alright for everyone to sell overpriced tickets or it's not right for anyone to see over price tickets. There isn't an alright for one, not alright for others about it.

Sorry - at what point is someone who has been unfortunate enough to lose their job going 'cap in hand' for benefits? I thought benefits were there to support people when they needed it. Are you seriously suggesting they should have to sell everything (ie maximise their assets) before they get any help? or would you like to retract the suggestion that benefit claimants are in some way beggars? Cap in hand my arse

[geordiegooner]

Christ nothing on Ebay can come close to these C@nts-

Even if you're desperate, DON'T!!

£110!! for a day ticket on Thursday when there's nowt much of real note on, having a laugh?

Or from Gumtree - £600 each!!

[llcoolphil]

You're rather missing the point. Wilfully I suspect.

I would expect someone like you to condone touting. As you regualrly prove with your posts you are utterly self centred and couldnt care a jot for anyone else.

[bombfrog]

I'll answer Russ's point individually to show just how many levels he's wrong on.

selling tickets over face value is touting, simple as that.

[Jutt69]

as soon as you get past inputting your reg number the website states sold out.

[lofichic]

i've been doing the "spot the bull" competition quite alot over the past week and havnt had any luck : /, makes it harder for those who dont have a ticket to win if there is people entering who already have tickets.
