Live 8 Tickets for sale on eBay...?

[Gaffer]

Just had a look and there are tickets for sale on eBay for Live 8.

Whats even more strange are people bidding on them..?

I thought it wasnt guarenteed that you would get a ticket?

it's not unless you got a text today to say you have, then you have ten days to collect your ticket, can't believe there won't be a name / ID part to the tickets like everywhere else though.

I think they're letting people know within the next three days whether or not they have got tickets, so some people might know now. But then I thought ebay said they wouldn't be letting any be sold on the site

'Winners' of tickets were notified by text today to pick up from Friday. Moral dilemma now, my girlfriend won some tickets, do they go on eBay?

Well that means I didnt win.

OK

But how much would you trust someone that they had the tickets? and how much would you be prepared to pay?

Bid on a local seller and meet in person after Friday, swap cash for tickets, they cant diddle you then.
It would be nice to think that sellers will donate the proceeds to the charity in question

Have a look at the completed items for these tickets. Loads of money!
Some are offering raffle style ticket bids to go into a draw.

One and half million pounds?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16067&item=6539509077&rd=1

[mxdi]

3 million!!!
Two sets of tickets now at 3 million each and its the same person bidding on both, surely this is fake.

I come to the conclusion its all fake, 3 sets of tickets at 8, 9 and 10 million with bidders with low or rubbish feedback, they are trying to cause hassle for the Text ticket winners cashing in on it.

Err... where?
Anyhow are they honestly going for £10,000,000 each as I have seen some with a good rating?
or are people just p**ing about, if not there are a lot of rich people about.

Are you impaired in some way? even asking the question would show an IQ akin to the average age on Michael Jackson's birthday party invite list.

Sorry have I missed something? Yes I know people have bidded mainly to stop the sales in protest but technically they could be sued for the amount in question also giving themselfs a bad rating. It was a genuine question if maybe worded badly.
