eBay Tickets....

[junglist_matty]

There's a fair few of them...

I've setup an eBay account, user ID: "glastonbury_ticket_police", going to bid £100000 on all the glasto ticket sellers, fed up with reporting them!

I don't care, I've got no personal information associated with that eBay account, no PayPal etc....

Because they are not allowed to sell this item, its against the Glastonbury / eBay rules, it makes the auction invalid, and therefore, no binding contract to actually have to pay for it,

You need someone else to do the same otherwise you'll be liable to pay for the item. I think.

[Gutterflower]

If i remember correctly if someone doesnt pay then cant the seller just pick the next highest bidder. You may limit their trade before you are banned i guess. but it wont achive much in the long run

There's no long term plan but to piss these idiots off,

[glasto'newbie']

There are so many other more noble causes you could spend your time on. Seriously.. why bother?

There si one for 240 buy it now - thats not bad really. If I was looking to buy one Id be happy to pay that at this stage....

[ampersand]

are you a character from back to the future?

[junglist_matty]

Maybe because I know 5 people who wanted to get tickets, didn't manage first time round, didn't manage second time round and didn't manage third time round (although 3 others did on the 3rd time round).

Its the principle mate, why should some f**ker make a bit of dosh out of something that has nothing to do with them, if they thought they couldn't make it or there was a slight risk they couldn't make it they shouldn't have bought the tickets, and left them for people who actually want to go!

[junglist_matty]

...I'll report them also

[StoneCircle]

Or with the ones that are currently clearing showing the ticket number report to GFL and let them take action.

OK, tell me this...if you were well looking forward to going and something out of the ordinary happened that meant you could no longer go...hurt yourself, illness in family, losing money somehow (all of these have happened to me or someone i know over the years), what would you do with your 'non-transferable/refundable' ticket?

Leave it on the bedside table and say "hey-ho, I'd rather lose the money than let someone else take it and have a great time"?

Fair enough, i am against mass touting but for those that cannot honestly go and are selling just one ticket, leave them be. If someone is stupid enough to pay massively inflated prices on a ticket that may still not gain them entry because of the photo, let them...its not affecting you is it?

Ok, maybe your mates didnt get tickets (which I struggle to know how they didnt over the 3 re-sales but thats neither here nor there), but thats not everyone elses fault.

[junglist_matty]

Three others did? Correct me if I'm wrong but you could get 2 or more tickets at this stage? Thats at least 6 more tickets you have got on the third (THIRD) re-sale... Not sure a few tickets on e-bay did much to hamper your mates chances.. Your mates already got lucky.

And have you not thought of getting your mates without tickets one from ebay..?

[glasto'newbie']

It is possible to have different groups of friends dude! 3 mates from uni managed to get some who don't know my other friends who live on the other side of the country and they don't fancy risking not getting in without having the correct photo on the ticket.

[junglist_matty]

Fair enough, but at least some did.

Have fun trawling through e-bay reporting people! I'm going for a beer.
