The best one I've seen on eBay is someone selling 250 entries at £4.50 each into a draw for a pair of tickets.
250 people each pay £4.50, then they will presumably get an email in a couple of days time informing them that they didn't win the draw.
Result for the seller who gets 250 lots of £4.50 and keeps the Live8 tickets !!!

Guest repliedI don't see how selling your ticket is devoid of morals. If somebody is desperate to go and is prepared to offer you a lot of cash, then why is it wrong to accept?
Personally if somebody offered me £1000 then I'd flog my tickets. Unfortunately I don't have any, so I cannot.

I've got mine! Seen some on eBay already for many hundreds, but I'm a contractor so I don't need to be so devoid of morals.

Guest repliedDunno. What ancient groups are getting back together, long forgotten stars making a comeback for this one? I reckon that Irish Boomtown ratty person whose name I forget is really just running a sort of agency for rock has-beens. Any chance of the great PJ Proby turning up? I might go.
