Default Lotsa tix are already on Ebay

Yikes! I was just over there and couldn't believe how many tix are for sale, and how much they want for 'em. I was only paying close attention to DC, but I was pleased to see that there was only 1 pair in the front floor section, in Row V, everything was either waaaay back or above the floor.

Angry Scalpbay?

It's gets my goat that there are so many people getting tix just to make money....

If I may insert a voice of experience and caution from someone who has used both Ebay and a Ticketbroker in the past. Unless the seller has a picture or a copy of the actual ticket on the Ebay sales site or can send you one, I would not bother with them. Moreover, none of the few brokers I recently contacted (hey - I'm lazy ) were able to give me specifics about seat location and price. In fact, most wanted a blind and partially refundable deposit with no guarantee of seat location. So, I declined. Hey - I said I was lazy not born yesterday. Right now, I'd rather give Mick $60 and take my chances fopr better seats in the alleged presale. At least I get videos, etc. for the $60. Moreover, if I get lousy seats in the presale, the brokers and Ebay will still be thereafter the presale.

Seriously - just make sure of what you are getting!

Hello Janet,

I would buy from Ebay again in a minute an very well may for this FM tour!!!

I am just saying in a friendly way to be careful right now because not a lot of product seems to have been released. So, the sellers may not actually have what they are promising, etc. I have almost fallen into that trap when I was wet behind the ears. Someone kept saying the tickets were in the front row but would not tell me what seat numbers. It turns out they were in the front row of the third level. Luckily, I insisted on seeing a picture of them beforehand, etc.

Also, I find a lot of positive feedback is a plus on Ebay.

I hope this helps and I have not been too patriarchal!!!

use eBay for tickets only (I havent as of yet) if I could find someone who is totally legitimate and has the feedback to prove it...And most of all, Whose price is somewhat reasonable (Not more than $50 over face value...)

Default All I can say is OMG!!

At those prices I won't be going. I'll bet it's a bunch of brokers ripping people off. Well, maybe I will get a ticket way at the top of MCI Center=:-(

After I bought my tickets this morning, I went over there just out of curiousity to see how many listings there were. There was already 25 within 45 minutes after ticket sales began.......they're quick!

Sorry, just had to stop and laugh at this. I hope I don't have to tell you the first thing that popped in my head when I saw this.
