buying gig tickets
how dodgy is it buying tickets for a gig on ebay? Are you even allowed to resell them?
Iron maiden tour seems all sold out for standing admission and seated seems a bit lame.
Cheers!

depends how close to the event it is really, if you buy tickets that the seller does not even have but will be posted on to you nearer the time whats
to stop them selling the tickets 10 times over closing the account then buggering off with the money. And no paypal cover as its out side there time
scale for reclaiming i wouldnt bother my self. There is a ticket exchange website something to do with ticket master i beleive id be a lot happier
buying from there. I only warn as my sis got scammed this way for some leeds festivel ticketa a few years ago and paypal told her to bugger off..

Usual ebay thoughts, check buyer, history feedback and how long been doing it and is it business. I brought some lady GaGa tickets for girlfriend off
ebay as they were like rocking horse sh1t, I got lots browny points for getting them! All her friends couldn't believe how organised I was, I
didn't tell her they came from ebay! To say I was panicing they arrived 2 days before concert and we had booked hotel and everything next panic
was were they genuine or fake when we stood in Que! It all worked out fine in the end but would I do it again!!?

I have bought numerous tickets from eBay with no problems. All you can do is what the guys have already mentioned though

Flaming scam and should be illegal, and that one that Ticketmaster do... "Oh no we've sold out of these tickets (15 seconds after going on
sale) but there's this other site, run by us, that are selling them for 10x the face value"
Missus and I ranted about this for hours, apparently reselling tickets is only illegal at sporting events and in person (i.e. outside the venue..)
