November 13, 201015 yr Author I bidded and won this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120646725427 Now... should I do it or not? I'm scared that I could get better tix in the auction, possibly for less even, and, that is completely 100% trusted and guarunteed!! Not sure if this^^ is :S What do people think? I need to decide by tomorrow too btw :/ And, is it worth it anyway? My thinking/justification, is that in 10-20 years from now, how important will £700 be to me? And, if it is at all important, how would that compare to the memory and show of a lifetime which the money IS going to buy me!? Argh, decision time...

Hmmm, so you have to shell out the money and hope this person shows up with the tickets? Was I reading that right? I honestly couldn't do it, but I have never bought anything from ebay. Good luck to you, Craigie, I know your stressing to go.

Argh, decision time... maybe you could agree with the seller that you'll pay cash when he shows up? This way you'll be 100% sure of your tickets. And I think, It'll be the best overpriced 700 £ you've ever spent
November 14, 201015 yr you will say that i'm writing this only because i already have my tickets BUT brot, do you really think that it's a good thing to risk and spend 700+ pounds for a concert??? i know, we are great fans and we want to go there in every possible way, but think seriously, 700+ £!!! a huge quantity of money! i don't think i would be able to spend so much for a NORMAL ticket.. anyway, it's obviously up to you, i can suggest to think seriously on it. you cannot be sure they will let you enter the gig if you're not the cardholder, remember this! and, in this way, 700£ will vanish... or it's possible you won't be able to go, for any kind of proble, and, in this way too, 700£ will vanish.. so think, seriously!!!

And, if it is at all important, how would that compare to the memory and show of a lifetime which the money IS going to buy me!? Argh, decision time... Like some others have said, I don't know if I could do that. :thinking: But at least the seller seems to be much more honest and willing to cooperate than the other seller; this one even seems to understand the fact that he'll have to accompany you to get the tickets. I would try to message the seller and get to know them a bit, see if they seem to be honest or just trying to scam you.
November 14, 201015 yr What do people think? I need to decide by tomorrow too btw :/ I'm confused; if you already won them, how do you get to decide by tomorrow? Did the guy give you some sort of "grace period"? And, is it worth it anyway? My thinking/justification, is that in 10-20 years from now, how important will £700 be to me? And, if it is at all important, how would that compare to the memory and show of a lifetime which the money IS going to buy me!? Memory/show of a lifetime. Fo sho. I defer to the following article/study: http://articles.cnn.com/2009-02-10/health/happiness.possessions_1_leaf-van-boven-experiences-psychological-research?_s=PM:HEALTH
November 14, 201015 yr Author How much would it cost for a single standing ticket? Anyone have any ideas?
November 14, 201015 yr I like your siggy pic. ;) Why, thank you! Thought I should “decorate” a bit since I've been around for a year now. :laugh3: edit - remainder of post deleted
November 14, 201015 yr you will say that i'm writing this only because i already have my tickets BUT brot, do you really think that it's a good thing to risk and spend 700+ pounds for a concert??? Unless I was stinking rich, there is no way I would even contemplate paying that much for a ticket to see anyone. And if I did have that sort of money, I would take part in the official auction, as I could at least be sure the money was going to the intended cause. I find it extremely distasteful that a member of the public can potentially make so much money by selling on tickets this way.:(
November 14, 201015 yr Not sure if this would change people's opinions, but remember it was £700 total, so that's £350 per ticket. Better than the ireekofawesumnes dude that is trying to sell them for about £1900 total (£950 per ticket). And he isn't even based in Liverpool, I think he's in the U.S., and isn't going to meet the buyer there, etc.
November 14, 201015 yr Save your money or donate some of it to the Charity, and save for when the TOUR really begins... RUN FORREST RUN..........................
November 14, 201015 yr Paying over the top prices for ticks just encourages those who wish to make profit all the more eager to exploit others so no would not contemplate
November 15, 201015 yr Paying over the top prices for ticks just encourages those who wish to make profit all the more eager to exploit others so no would not contemplate It's a no win situation for any band selling tickets to be honest, you're always going to have people who sell the tickets on for higher prices. The best thing to come of it is the auction system where the money will go directly to the charity than line the pocket of some tout.

The best thing to come of it is the auction system where the money will go directly to the charity than line the pocket of some tout. I agree It's a shame but it doesn't seem to matter what they do to try to stop ticket touts it never seems to totally eliminate it. It's such a shame as it makes it harder for genuine fans who want to buy tickets, but I guess that is life :( They seem to be doing what they can to prevent touts getting them it but it must be so expensive to print names on tickets and do so many extra ID checks at the door. All those extra checks cost more money so less ends up in the charity pocket. I guess the only problem with the auction is it really only allows people with lots of money to get tickets. Most of us wouldn't stand a chance... Great news to all who did get tickets! Take lots of photos please! :)

November 15, 201015 yr Eventfull have posted Coldplay tick alert at the TBA LPOOL 20 DEC 2 STANDING 250 QUID HMMMM dubious since they play Lpool on the 19th
November 15, 201015 yr I'm sorry, I forgot to post this the other day when I received the message. After Anchorman responded to my question about ID requirements for ticket entry, etc., I sent him a quick thank you for taking the time to respond and hoped they have an awesome time. He sent a very kind response back, and this is for all you folks: You're very welcome Carrie. Say hi to the Coldplaying massive for me! Anchorman :nice: how sweet
