Page 1 of Glastonbury and EBay a new low

Well I wanted to go to Glastonbury this year and now sold out. Why you ask well because so many Ebay low lifes have bought up all the tickets to make a profit on them! Sold out with in 24 hours and listings on Ebay already amount to 247 and those are just listings most are selling at least 2 tickets and some money grabbing insects are selling over 30! this is the only hope for music lovers.

If this is true I would be tempted to buy all the tickets and tell the sellers to go swing for their money. Let them chase me in court I am sure the Official Glastonbury Organisers would be more than willing to support me in court! Your views people!

All tickets now re-sold on ebay are invalid that`ll teach `em !!!!!!!!

This tout situation is bloody ridiculous! Even though I did manage to get tickets, I`m still really annoyed about this. It`s going to completely destroy Glastonbury if something isn`t done about it.

Considering that last year the tickets took 2 months to sell out, and this year it was less than 2 days, it should be obvious that the majority of tickets have gone to people who are going to sell them on.

Rather than try to police the Ebay mess, I would go one further and make ALL ticket sales null and void, refunding everyone who`s already paid. New tickets should then be put on sale with the following requirements:

1) All tickets to be printed with name and address details.
2) Strictly one ticket per named person.
3) Proof of ID required at the turnstile on entry.

I know this is a bit "Big Brotherish" - but it`s better than the alternative, I think.

it simply encourages more people to go over the fence.

i remember back in `94 when the tickets sold out in record time and the amount of peopl going over/under/through the fenec was ridiculous. I ended up paying £20 to someone on the gate to give me a hand stamp and let me in.

seems they had my idea and have been buying up ebay tickets for low life scum and have no intention of paying for them hence costing the seller money with listing fees and final seller fees


ha ha ha ha and to all you ebay`er who use this site lurking for the bargain and have probably purchased ebay tickets to make a pofit....


MAY YOU ROT IN HELL

now mods as I have not named names I assume this is acceptable

Who`s up for placing £1,000,000 bids on some auctions? The profiteering twats would have some hefty fees to pay!

totally agree with what your doing, but isn`t bidding a contract and as such they could chase you for the money? I do hope you`ve hidden your tracks!

No they, wouldn`t have to pay any fees. They`d just get a final value credit.
