Looking for one face value 3 or 5 day camping ticket

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Tried Scarlet Mist but it's touch and go; and eBay takes the piss.

Just wondering if anybody on here had one to sell or could direct me towards somewhere that does?

Appreciate it

doubt you will get your hands on one for face value unfortunately, looks like there's a few touts possibly making a killing because of the fact its sold out (weekend wise) or just people looking to make a quick profit.

just seen on ebay someone trying to sell two weekend arena only tickets for £600, when face value is £330 even though they "claim" to not being able to go. surely if that was the case then they would want to make their money back and that would be that.

good luck in your search, scarlet mist & ebay are your best bets though unfortunately, unless someone on here has to drop out or something.

Really bloody bad timing though. I went on to the website on tuesday (I think it was) and it said that 5 day camping and 3 day camping were still available - so I click on the links to buy one and it turned out there were none actually available. I go back to the Download website about an hour later and then it says 'Sold Out'. Scarlet Mist seems good enough for me at the minute but it's proving to be very difficult - more like a lottery hoping somebody will pick you out of the 50 others. eBay is abundant with tickets but... well, as you've seen.

Just putting it out there really.

The prices on eBay are unbelievable. I bought mine off there a month ago for less than face value.

If you wait a couple of weeks they'll come down though.

Bah, I can't stand fans who blatantly profiteer from their peers. I managed to get 4 tickets to this give and only need 2 so thought you could pay double for the 2 I don't need. Arseholes.

Ebay's just getting ridiculous, my friends put a ticket onsale a few days before it sold out with a minimum bid of £100, after it sold out it's gone for £350. I'd say wait until closer to the time, when people are are bit more desperate so will hopefully sell at face value.

I've got a T in teh Park 5 day you can have for face value if that helps

Just sprayed beer at the laptop screen when I read that ;-)

Pissed myself laughing, but think the laptops had it!!!

I'm more likely to die of boredom than be stabbed. Or maybe just hang myself with a pac a mac rope because of the depressing line up this year. Shame it's after Download or there would be a ticket going

[MetalliKris]

You still barred from T krissyboy?

Just seen this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130701658670

"This auction is only for 2 printed photographs of my ticket (as stated in description and title) do not bid if you are expecting an actual ticket!"

What a c**t.

[mrtourette]

heh that's pretty funny.

How much are they going for?

[kaosmark2]

No bids, 99p

I guess he figured it was worth a try.

[mrtourette]

Is he trying to trick people or just taking the piss out of tickey buying on eBay? If he's making it clear they're only photographs I'd imagine it's the latter.

[AcademicPistol]

I clicked the link with 10 seconds left on the bid, someone bidded for a photo of Download tickets for £76.00!

The guy is either an cunning genius or devious c**t - imagine; I could do the exact same thing with my girlfriend's ticket 10 times and be able to afford a ticket on eBay.

[ap3311]

He won't get away with it. eBay are pretty savvy about people doing things like that, especially since he's listed it in the "event tickets" category so is technically a fraudulent listing.

[t8yman]

It wasnt a genuine auction, it was a statement on the culture of scalping, and the ridiculous prices people will pay.

I have 3 5 day weekend tickets for sale if anyone is still looking?

[Kim88walker]

I have 1x 5 day camping download ticket available at face value if anyone would like it...
