Is anyone else annoyed at trying to buy ticekts for a concert, or any event, only to find out its sold out. Not only is it sold out but there's hundreds of tickets being sold on ebay for quadruple the face value. Take AC/DC's uk tour for example. All dates sold out in a matter of minutes, 40 a ticket (45 in London). Half an hour later tickets started appearing on ebay for 200. By the end of the day there were almost 300 auctions for the London gig alone!!! All being sold around the 200 plus mark. I'm a genuine music fan, and like many other music fans, love going to live gigs. Unfotunately, its a sad world where touts are willing to exploit genuine fans. Who knows where the touts got their money to buy the tickets from and where the money will end up (drugs, trafficing). All I ask is for people to sign this petition so ebay will take note that genuine music fans are getting ripped off. I propose that ebay should stop the sale of concert tickets.

    • Tickets sold out in minutes, Overpriced ones appearing simultaneously on Ebay & venues not always being full if you do buy a ticket. Fed up with it. If you cut out the easy internet method of selling on, the only touts left will be the ones on the street outside the venue & fans will have a fair shot at getting tickets for the actual ticket price when they go on sale.

    • Stop this prostitution of tickets the real fans lose out and only the greedy profit from this. If they can do it with football tickets they can do it with concert tickets. If you have a genuine reason for selling ticket like I have in the past then you can sell them on Scarlet Mist the ethical ticket exchange for face value only
