You think Sean likes Wire?

Bloody hell, 72 tickets either sold or with bids on on eBay now. This has gotta be some kinda record, no doubt top 25% by the end of the week.

I just think it is totally crap that these tickets never stood a chance of getting to people who actually wanted them unless they are willing to pay over the top for them! I would have loved to have gone and am on holiday at the time so I could have travelled. Problem is they were all touted and I can't and wont afford the inflated prices. Be a pitty if there were less people there because of other peoples greed.

It's a shame that some genuine fans didn't get tickets at face value because some touts got in first. The touts did it because the system allows them to, and because some fans will buy from touts. However, I can't see that any of that will lead to the tickets not being used. The touts will lower their prices if any tickets haven't sold.

People are fucking stupid - a set of tickets went up for 99p start bid earlier. Someone bid £2 and the next bid was £100. How ridiculous to push up the price like that. Idiots.

Surely not, because if she did know someone, surely Lindz would do the only decent thing in that situation and be posting "Something may or may not be announced soon or happen in the future. Or possibly not" posts all the time...

But wouldn't that mean that the first person who bidded (i.e. the £2) must have put a maximum bid of, say, £99. So then when person two comes in and puts a maximum bid of £100 eBay will go straight to the lowest possible amount which would still out bid person one's highest amount. If that makes sense.

They're just as bad as each other really.

I didn't even want a ticket. Got one anyway. Was really bored. Why did they bother?! At least I got to run around the Tardis coffee shop. Waste of a weekend.
