Re: 2 x Pelouse Or Paris 16th June

I don't think I am! €91 is £60 x 2 = £120 plus €100 = another £60 so to ask £175 isn't too bad, I feel
And i've only got them because the friends my wife and I were going with have let us down - that doesn't make me a tout
I am trying to recoup fan club membership but they are Pelouse Or tickets
I also paid fan club membership for London gigs so you can see I only paid for a second membership to secure the tickets I wanted in Paris
Having said all that if you think £175 is too much, I'm open to offers. Don't want to chance it selling them outside Stade De France
