"I'm tempted...."

I got a pair of Live8 tickets.

£700 for the pair on eBay, who wouldn't be tempted?

ARRGGHHHH

"sick profiteering" Bob geldof

Come on, what didhe expect was going to happen. He's probably annoyed they paid to set up a short code number (if they did use one) instead of going on ebay themselves.

As Istated in an earlier post, the G8 have cancelled debt to 18 ofthe poorest countrys. So live 8 have to raise more than £22 billion to beatthat.

Stop trying to justify it and enjoy your tainted money

I know you wanted to go originally, that doesnt really justify trying to make a profit on the tickets though, Im sure you have friends or family who would have loved to have gone, but you chose profiteering instead.

I emphasise again, I originally wanted to go.

And people are stupid enough to pay £750 to two tickets to a gig.

Watch me complain.

Yeah, I heard a lot of people are trying to prevent them being sold, basically because it just seems well, low to be trying to profit from a concert aimed at bringing the spotlight onto poverty.

A lot of people are bidding the tickets to over £10m, making them impossible to sell.

Erm, they're my tickets now.

They can do funk-all.

How are they going to sue them? I cant see how that would work. Technically they have paid for the tickets with the cost of the text. Therefore they are there to "tout" as they like!

Geldof's an idiot. eBay is too strong.

They said they'd sue anyone trying to make money out of the tickets.
