Ticket touting aaaah!

[kev]

who absolutely hates ticket touts? :td:

every event i want to go to and they are appearing on ebay for ridiculous sums of money

Take "T in the Park" for example

i have decided to camp for tickets for the scotland euro 2008 qualifier next month..never though id have to do that :td:

i think ebay should ban the sale of tickets apart from those being sold at face value....it prevents true fans from going to these sort of things :td:

I camped for tickets for the Italy 06 game. I had tickets, but my brothers didn't and had been to every game before then, but the Tannadice staff had taken a large amount of the tickets for themselves, so even though my brothers had been there for hours, and were about 20th in the queue they didn't get tickets. I got them some great ones from the corporate tickets which hadn't been taken up.
I'll be camping out for the qualifiers too and joining the SSC when I'm 18 - no point joining the "youth club" at all.

Luckily I'm not really wanting to go to T in the Park this year, but if I was, I'd just get tickets for Oxegen in Ireland (presale for regged people is tomorrow, but I doubt I'll buy any). Its exactly the same line-up as T in the Park except Oxegen has Daft Punk aswell (they refuse to play UKgigs) and on the same weekend. :tu:

Ticket touts are a pain in the arse though. Last year for T in the Park a woman bought two
used tickets for it, to be delivered straight after the event for £250. I'm also not able to go to see KOL becuase of touts :td:

Always like that.

There's an event I want to attend and the presales were available without any passwords given out. Everyone was guessing the passwords and I finally guessed it after 2 hours it was available for presale. All good tickets were already taken!

I got 2 crappy tickets and listed them for sale on eBay.

Now I have to pay $400 for a pair of tickets which would cost me $160 directly from ticketmaster

I believe the resale of tickets on eBay is frowned upon, but not against their terms.

There was talk of the resale of tickets becoming illegal, full-stop, and I think eBay will stop it (In the UK) in due course.

is tannadice the best place to get them.. i think 46,000 tickets have been pre bought by the tartan army supporters club..that leaves only about 10,000 tickets to do the general public including the away support :td: is there a phone number you can call to get them?

Apparently for the Georgia game they can only be bought by calling this number 08700 131415

They go on sale on Monday at 9am, but be prepared for alot of down time.
