Anyone wanna join me in making many a bogus bid on the numerous tickets that are on sale?

It will make me feel slightly better at missing out.

You are only inflating the prices higher so poor people end up bidding or paying even more !!!!!!!!!!!

Just leave ebay alone. everyone has their opinion on touting, but just leave it to those who want to use it and if you don't leave it alone.

No doubt you are feeling cack but you'll get a ticket from somewhere

It happened last year too with T tickets. I was watching it happen online, was quite amusing to watch but I did feel sorry for the genuine folk trying for tickets

it's not worth it they'll just get relisted and most sellers block accounts with no feedback.... what they are doing isn't really any different to someone who deals in stocks or buys a house to rennovate it for profit....

Any tout with half a brain would just cancel your bid when he sees youve just joined and have nae feedback. Its not rocket science.

its a disgrace that people go out to buy tickets purely to put on ebay. fair enough ur average punter who buys 2 & flogs them for a bit of extra dough can be forgiven but people like this http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZsoldouteventzQQhtZ-1 are well out of order, i mean how can this company get so many tickets!

I certainly have no qualms about this happening. In my opinion the dumb fookers who even contemplate paying £250 upwards for a ticket deserve any sh1t that may come their way especially after 20 minutes or so of the bloody things selling out. Fair enough if you don't get the ticket you are after a day or two prior you have money to spend and is the last last last resort but When the confirmation email isn't even out yet??? Just a bit of fun n games innit?

I hate ebay tout c**ts even more by the way.

OR.... find out the address to make payment to and send them shit loads of hate mail and death threats...... or go to their door and take a claw hammer to their face?

this may sound harsh but they got tickets and i didnt! and acctually want to go to the f**kin festival!!!!!!! WHOS WITH ME we can clear the gene pool of touts forever!

Sad. One step away from trainspotting.

You can have 100's of small problems with each individual seller who has their own story

or

You could hassle TITP who don't bother their arses as long as they sell out in x amount of minutes.

And when they do you can complain about it like everyone did for Glastonbury.

Move on

Yours
