Stone Roses tickets already on Ebay?

spodoinklehorse · 10-20-2011, 05:10 PM

Was just checking to see if there was any sign of pre-sale tickets and on Ebay there are 3 pages so far of tickets for the Manchester gigs, whats the craic with that? Do these sellers have connections or are they counting on beating the thousands who will be logging on to ticketmaster at 930 on Friday?

Happens all the time for the big gigs.

Sometimes fanclubs get them in advance, some of the mobile phone companies have deals to get them a day or two early as well.

Some of the ebay folk will be chancers. Put tickets up they don't have yet.

I have also no doubt Ticketmaster are behind this too. Watch how quickly it sells out and how quickly thousands of tickets appear on their own get me in site at silly prices.

They used to print ticket numbers next to tickets for sale on get me in. I used to see a whole list of sequential numbers when you could only buy 4 max at a time.

It's ticketmaster who are selling them I believe on get me in pretending to private sellers.

Agree with the above. Selling some on EBay and dare I say artificailly boosting prices wouldn't hurt the price GetMeIn can ask either...

Whether The Stones Roses are still together by the time of the concert is another question...

It looks like they will headline T in the Park a week after the Manchester gigs now.

Depends if you are a festivals person, but for not much more money than a black market ticket you can see and entire festival of music.

I wonder if the Stone Roses tickets will fetch a higher price than the One Direction ones were going for.
