There are genuine fans who will not get tickets because of the limited size venues or have to pay over the odds for ones like this....Yet someone,has got one or several tickets with no intention of going yet trying to cash in...


TICKETS FOR MANCHESTER ON EBAY

ROYAL ALBERT HALL

I understand maybe there might be some fans who bought tickets and can't attend for whatever reason,most fans I would expect would sell them for face value or a little bit extra and not try and make a massive over the top profit,given they've only gone on sale today(Manchester) its clearly for a Large profit margin,or possibly a scam.

If someone wants to buy them it's up to them, not you....

This is brilliant for those who "forgot" to buy tickets IMO.

I'm not gonna buy them since I allready have tickets, but no-one is forcing anyone in buying these...

If you we're lazy to get them early, or heard to late about tickets going on sale (wich is odd since it got promoted really well in UK) here's your chance to buy them...

And if you think they are to expensive, then don't buy them (just like many decided not to buy the RAH tickets because they didn't want to spend the money)

I never said it was up to me that isn't what I'm getting at, this type of activity is wrong.
the tickets are already highly priced,not everyone can afford to go at the current prices,and because of limited spaces can't go at all even if they can afford it There is a large portion of seating owned by exclusive members giving people who do want to go no chance of getting a ticket except in these cashing in circumstances.
If it was a large 20 thousand seat arena then you could forget to perhaps buy a ticket,but a few thousand seats??these tickets are more likely to be bought by fans desperate to go,not those who simply "Forgot",I'd say the few thousand seats in each venue were bought by those who knew well in advance of the dates,seeing as they were bought with Little if any promotion,the Birmingham gig has no literature about the gig in or around the Symphony Hall whatsoever,the only promotion I've seen is on JUK,Yet I suspect the couple of thousand seats were sold out by Lunchtime
if you didn't have tickets I dare say you'd share a different view or complaining about these parasites,Its easy to sit on the fence and say I got mine so what

I've got tickets too,but still think its out of order for those who want to go,but now have to pay over the odds for the privilage,most people weren't going because the prices were too excessive in the first place.

Well, it's not only Jean Michel's tickets that are available on eBay – link. Seems it is a popular thing to do.

I remember when Madonna was doing her recent World Tour and some tickets were on eBay for a ridiculous price. Not only were they for a high price but also very near the stage.

Yes, it is unfair because the venue's website or their actual box office should have the best seats. This should be the first port of call and not eBay. The latter should only apply if for some reason you have missed out then eBay is the answer. But the prices should be the same as the venue's price. People will buy the tickets for a crazy price if they are desperate. The sellers are taking advantage of fans and are making a profit. Now that is unfair to the fans.

Basicly it's called "making a profit" and there's nothing wrong about that IMO...

Sometimes it is done by fans to sponsor their trip to the concert since sometimes you have to travel a lot to see JMJ...
