there was a news article on bbc's website about it so i did a search...
have they no conscience! :x
turtle:
It makes you wonder how people minds work!
Always someone cashing in on other peoples ms-fortune, I would like to see the seller passing all that cash onto the appeal fund.
TechnoTurkey:
At the end of the day, the original purchase price of the ticket will have a large portion of it going to the charity and after that it is just a case of supply and demand.
Would anyone complain about selling tickets to the FA Charity Shield (now Community Shield) on eBay? Charity is charity at the end of the day so whats the difference?
Not wanting to offend anyone, just putting forward a different point of view.
strapping young lad:
i agree in one respect however the circumstances in which this concert is being run for is a bit more urgent and immediate than the other charities which have run for years
years is what the tsunami-affected people dont have
muddyweb:
Most of those auctions do say that the proceeds are going to the charity. Whilst I disapprove of anyone cashing in, there might be some genuine sellers amongst that lot who need to sell on tickets.
I think anyone who has gone out and bought tickets purely with a view to reselling them is a complete git... but I think that about people who do it for any concert or event.
Once again though, as long as people are prepared to pay them, they will continue to thrive.
