Quote:Ebay is evil as far as ticket selling goes - this is my position and I can't help but stick closer to it everytime something I want to go to sells out in hours yet there are instantly dozens and dozens of tickets there.
The Royal Albert Hall are trying to combat this by checking out ticket numbers of those sold on eBay where possible and refusing entry to anyone with those tickets. Not sure how this is possible though - I'm sure that last time I went they only glanced at the tickets. Whatever, they "know" if a ticket has been sold there.
And a lot of smaller places are making you show proof of ID before allowing you in.
I have sold tickets on eBay myself a couple of times - when I was not able to go - but I only asked face value as I didn't want to be associated with these bastard touts.
