This probably sounds really daft, but can you be penalised for not being the original buyer of the ticket?
I want to buy a ticket off eBay, but I am scared that I may be disallowed entry because I am not the original buyer. Is there any way of identifying whether I am?
Please help, sorry if I sound really stupid, just don't want to waste £200 and a journey to Leeds.
:)

No, you'll be absolutely fine. You merely hand your ticket it at wristband exchange and as long as it's legit they don't care.

Be very carefully.. My cousin as had a bad deal with someone off ebay with 100% feed back. She is STILL waiting for the ticket to come... But she is not alone one this cos she as got intouch with some else who is also buying off the same Ebay seller and they are also still waiting for their ticket to come.

Although you'd have to be bonkers to pay that price on eBay!

I bought 1 for £120 off eBay and that hasn't come but the seller was kind enough to send me the reciept details so I can put a claim in with Royal Mail. The other I bought for £140 and that has come! :)

i buy mine off ebay every year, since they stopped selling them on the door anyway, it works out a lot cheaper, cost me 133 this year and 125 last year, best to wait until about fiive days before the festival when they start to panic sell at knockdown prices
