I've 2 to get rid of Ouest side (Ronnie's) face is €91 each and the fan club cost another $100. Am I being greedy? £175 or €250 e mail me at epexhibitions@aol.com
Tickets are in hand in Barnet UK

Quote: "Am I being greedy"?

F***K yes, but, I'm surprised you didn't push for more --- I mean, yes, of course, just becuase you got the tickets through your own fanclub membership, doesn't mean of course the buyer shouldn't bear the brunt of the membership fee too. But, why stop there --

-- I mean,had you flights booked? Why not charge the buyer the cost of those flights aswell, plus, IF you had a taxi booked to get to the airport, add that to the tally too?

What about food -- even estimating conservatively, umm, maybe you'd have spent, what, 40 - 50 Euro on food on that day in Paris? Weeell, why not add that to the tally.

Hotel...of course if you had planned on one, yeeees, add that in too

F**cking touts, there are a LOT of incredibly decent people here who sell/share tickets with fellow fans for very fair prices, whether face value or just a li'l ontop of that to cover ticketmaster fees. But, some....well, yeah, of course, there'll always be some to fleece us...

Apologies for this rant, but, I'm just sick to the back teeth of the offers here for tickets and the exorbitant and insulting prices that some ask us fellow stones fans. Thank God for the good people, the ones who actually offer at a fair price, there's more to life than money and trying to squeeze every last extra pound out of fellow fans...

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

Greetings Exhpart,

I see what you're saying, okay, it's a lot fairer than some I've seen here^

The rant was more due to the real b*st*rds that offer tickets are 3 or 4 times face value. I know first hand, as, I left a message here recently for any spare 02 tickets, and, some of the replies to my email were unbelievable prices.

Good luck selling your ticket, apologies for taking out the ticket ire and anger on yourself^^

I note that the tickets at "inflated prices" you speak of were offered to you through your personal e-mail, as opposed to through posting on this board. Scalpers/touts, if they're silly enough to actually post on here, generally get pretty rough treatment on this message board. BV himself has had things to say on the matter of people using this place for scalping in years gone by. Bloody right.

if i paid for an extra membership in order to acquire tickets that i then had to sell,
i sure wouldn't think it would be out of line to hope to cover those costs, just like the P&P,service charges, etc.
at the same time, if i bought four tickets with the membership and were selling two of them,
i wouldn't expect a buyer to cover more than half the membership fee.

Quite ... and that's exactly what the majority of reasonable folk do, merely try to recoup their "costs". The problem we all have is when tickets that are quite frankly expensive enough as it is, get further hiked in price ...

Right now on ebay you can buy 2 FOS standing including delivery for £156

So yes £175 is too much.

I've just had a look at ebay and all I can see is a "pitch ticket" for £75 and £6 postage. At least mine are Pelouse Or

Anyways I did say I'm open to offers

So are these.

Ok Madmaxx didn't see that . Tell you what with 14 hours left he hasn't sold one ticket! And he's got ten to get rid of! Clearly £81 is too much!

Methinks I'll take my chances outside Stade De France after all!

Wouldn't do that if I were you old chap, I'm still in possession of an "unused" ticket for Palais Nikaia Nice 2006. Get rid of NOW if you can !!
