It took me AGES to get two tickets this morning (rip off prices) but I see there are over 1,000 lots of TT tickets on e bay at extortionate prices (thousands of £s) and quite a few people have dozens of tickets at loads of venues!!!! How do they manage that because I was sitting for ages on the phone and internet getting just two tickets for one venue!!!
I don't know how genuine one advert is that has 18 bids and is up to over £300,000.00 :eek:

I got tickets for the WWE wrestling on the morning they were made available, I went through SEE tickets as Ticketmaster are a joke. It made me so mad that just three hours after the tickets had gone on sale, the Ebay vultures had them up for sale.
It disgusts me that people do that. I would never buy tickets from Ebay as I will not line those scummers pockets. There are people who genuinly want to see the shows but can't get the tickets from a proper agent because of these vultures.
Won't be buying from eBay, learnt my lesson there when I got ripped off 3 years ago.
We eventually got 4 up in the gods.
Could not even get into the general admission order bit, kept getting unable to find server message:mad:
It is ridiculous, as much as I hate Glasto's rule about registering and proving who you are, I am beginning to think that's the only way to deal with these greedy b*stards!
There fake bids to annoy the touts, Sucks for the genuine fans being forced into paying tout prices. Also so many scam sites i've seen people posting they finally got ticket, only to be told theyd been scammed:(
I'm soo mad how do these people get away with it !!!
Oh! - £4.99 Postage and packaging as well ROFLMAO!
Got my tickets though, thanks to my sister spending a good chunk of the morning on the phone and internet. She got through on the phone in the end, we got standing tickets too.:D
Wow, well done!!:D
I just kept getting the phone domain is busy and cut off:mad::mad::D
I dont understand it either, i wouldn't spend 75 pence, nor would i got to see them even if they were performing in my back garden.
She's so pleased!

Obviously "Buy It Now" sellers will not be affected.
I got mine around half 10. Can't believe how much of a hassle it was, you'd think they knew what to expect!
Also I think genuine fans (that is those of us who have bought all the albums, buy the merchandise, and loyally follow) should be given priority (don't know how though!) via their own website - before they go on sale generally. I've been disappointed many times and spent hours on websites and phone lines getting nowhere or getting rubbish tickets up in the heavens.
There are people making thousands out of fans loyalty and desperation to see them. Nobody does anything about it.
There were websites offering tickets last night before they even went on sale. Obviously they didn't have any for sale because they hadn't bought any.
And all those corporate people who get complementary tickets and don't even like TT or bother to go - what a criminal waste when people really really really want to go and want to pay the going rate.
Ticket selling is all very very wrong.
Beware that it is not the ticket agency selling the tickets over on Ebay, i seem to recall a report on BBC Watchdog about Ticketmaster notifying people a show had been sold out only for them to resell them on their own resale website.
So looks like there are literally tens of thousands of tickets unsold - or snapped up by touts.
Try reading the post properly and also my other post above.
She was just observing that the tickets are being sold at inflated prices on EBay. She got them off Ticketmaster in the end anyway, so unless they've turned crook she'll be fine, and she's not so stupid that she'd buy them on EBay at those prices anyway.
£300,000?? That's outrageous!
I'd love to see TT but won't be around next year when they're doing their shows, besides, I hate crowds. Wembley Stadium would freak me out.
The seller needs to cancel these bids pronto as somone's obviously trying to yank their chain.
