Need UK Tickets? Check E-bay!

Tickets for Wembley already up on Ebay for sale....one nice fan has a row of ten tickets for sale! Don't worry he will split them in pairs for the top 5 highest bidders - I think that shows a nice respect and care for his fellow Stones fans....can we really complain - the Stones appear to be a money grabbing machine - so why shouldn't everyone else be!!

Because we like to look after each other on this board, Rocks Off and Shidoobee. We sell spare tickets for face value or we trade for similar tickets. we don't profit from each other!

Yes! And many people like me buy tickets with a faint hope that they will be able to get to the concert.

I wouldn't call him nice at all. If, as you claim, he respected and cared for his fellow Stones fans, then:

(a) He wouldn't buy tickets that he only intends to sell - and especially he wouldn't buy them in blocks of 10. Either way he is denying those seats to genuine fans who really want to be there;

(b) He would not be selling any tickets for whatever reason to the "highest bidder" but at FACE VALUE.

So the adjectives I'd use to describe him would be extremely offensive ones that I won't repeat here.

You can't buy more than 4 tickets in the pre-sale. So how did he get 10 together? Something is rotten here.

that is disgusting and totally abhorant.
Can you imagine the amount of tickets, that are going to be in the filthy hands, of touts/scalpers.
I feel ill.....

You can only hope they'll be stuck with loads of tickets that they can't get half face value for come the show!! It's happened many times.

well its obvious that the promoters/band encourage or at worst turna blind eye to this practice. Theyre effectively endorsing scalping in all but name. You can draw your own conclusions why this is. The fact that a fan club member can only buy 4 tickets speaks volumes

..my thoughts exactly, dude.
I haven't joined the fanclub, yet.
I'm going to chance-my-arm, in the public sales on friday morning, for Wembley.

(Extra problem is= The Strokes January tour, goes onsale at exactly the same time)...Ticketmaster will be knackered, even more than usual.
I may get a membership for Barcelona.....there's no way i'm going to miss that one. 2003 was awesome.

But with Amexco you start at B and not A to my knowledge.
I bought two tickets over the phone as Ticketmaster is not able to send it via internet to addresses outside UK. This is ridicolous and unfair again.
