Does anyone else get totally p*ss*d off with money grabbing gits who buy up the maximum amount of tickets available and sell on Ebay for 600% profit.

I consider myself a honest "Rock" fan whose followed bands like AC/DC for years. They come on tour and tickets have gone before you can fart.

Found them on Ebay today whilst browsing, £150 each at the moment, it's time for action.............

I was sitting here waiting on the Glasgow dates that were talked about and then......
Manchester, Birmingham and London ........and they're sold out!!!!

Friends are still convinced they'll announce Glasgow but I'm all for going
to Madrid or Barcelona...the only venues still selling tickets.

It's just simple business.......

Either pay it or don't on eGay, no one is forcing you to pay that price..

It's not about forcing you to pay the price, your missing the point, it's the long time problem of money grabbing t**ts fleecing true fans who actually give a s**t..........

If a company uses supply & demand then you decide to use a different company for your product if not available or outside your price, in this case the product is limited & seems to have a shelf life on 1 nano-second and does not have an alternative, I'm afraid your argument falls to the ground in flames.......

It's a problem that's really gone crazy here over the past few years. If you can afford to lose a days work it may very well work out doing a trip to Europe to see them.

It really gets my goat, I must go to atleast 2 gigs a month, and always buy from the venue, it's just when bands like AC/DC who ain't been here for 8 years ish sell out to a crowd who can't name 10 songs let alone more than 2 albums........

I've had a similar email about Thursday. Hope it works as I don't fancy having to try Friday as I'm sure I've read somewhere that Oasis tickets go on sale Friday as well.
