nightrain86 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well i got the Upgraded VIP for Brisbane, not really expecting Axl to be there though after the show, which is a shame because i'd love to get a picture taken with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock4eva Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I notice some of the scalpers on ebay didn't sell, especially the one selling at $1,200 who has relisted their price to $980. If this is illegal then I wonder why ebay allows them to sell, they asked me for details on the reports I made but if you have all been reporting and they're still up for sale I'd say ebay couldn't care less. Very unfair.http://cgi.ebay.com....em=140910952758Lets hope nobody buys. Or what happens if we all bid and then don't pay up at the end - can we be in trouble?

They would make a lot of money from those tickets as well or does the AFL have some hold over Ebay whereas Ticketek/master/promoter doesn't?

They would make a lot of money from those tickets as well or does the AFL have some hold over Ebay whereas Ticketek/master/promoter doesn't?The AFL brought it in as a condition for the Grand Final so it is illegal, QLD is the only state with anti scalping laws and there is certain percentage above face value a ticket can be sold at but I'm not sure what that is, no other state has a law so it's actually not illegal however eBay have a rule where you have to have the item within a certain period to be able to sell it but it doesn't help this situation, this is why we've seen shows go on sale with tickets not being posted for 6 months or more ie. Radiohead and One Direction. At the end of the day eBay don't care as they make money off the sale then make more when the buyer uses Paypal, even if they do start banning it there are US sites which scalpers will list on as its not illegal there. My understanding is there is no law against it here as its not really a problem, a concert goes ahead with maybe 14000 tickets on sale and we might see 50 to 100 be re-sold and for this Melbourne show we may be less than 50. Oh and for the record I don't condone scalping I'm just stating facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best system for tickets I've seen is Pearl Jams fan club, the longer you've been a member the better the tickets you get through them and they have a big allocation.
