    Is the selling of over priced concert tickets allowed on ebay? Just looking a few listings and it seems the touts are very active.

    yes it is allowed. it is not illegal (though it should be) even here in ireland you can do it on the street if you want (although not on boards.ie!!!) :)

    think the concert tickets are bad? do a completed search for simply tickets and sort by price. you will be shocked at the price american football tickets go for, $10,000's! no messing.

    Ebay did pull the plug on live8 sellers requested by Sir Bob himself.

    So woudn't that have left alot of empty spaces at Live8?

    The only way to comabt those people is to stop creating a demand for them.

    I don't agree, I got Motley Crue Tickets for £30, and the ticket agents were looking for £60.

    im one of the few i have never sold a tciket before but i am thinkin of buying 3 oxygen tickets 1 for myself and 2 to sell at higher price senordingdong is right tho if u dont want prices to be so high dont pay them

    i personley as i said havent done it but i see no problem with taking advantage of peoples stupidty if someone will give me 500+ sterling for a ticket that cost me 80 euro i will sell it even if it is my own ticket.
