Beat the at their own game..., by paulypaul on Mar 13, 2008 10:48:48 GMT 1, ...I just bought a bunch of Ricky Hatton tickets and listed them on ebay.
Gonna check sports forums later and see if they're bitching about art lovers getting in on the sporting events they love and putting prices out of their reach.
In fact, the whole endeavour is pretty much a conceptual art project. I will be selling photos of a variety of sports fans reading ebay with quizzical, disappointed looks in due course..
Honestly, I slay myself....

Unlike flipping art prints which is immoral though not illegal, there is a law firm that monitors eBay for people touting tickets for sporting events... If they are on there you can probably expect a solicitors letter through the post very soon.

'IT'S A JOKE!!!' you simple mother fuckers!!!!
I'll join the dots -
1. Art is bought and flipped by people on ebay with names like 'Artandtickets' - people who flipped tickets and now see a mark up in art.
2. A major sporting event is on in England which will be in high demand.
3. I talk about buyin tickets and 'pretend' that boxing fans would be pissed about not being able to get tickets beacuse art lovers had bought the tickets to flip.
4. Adults get it, fuckwits don't...
Rat - couldn't give 2 fucks for you but the only threads I remember of you are threads where you have no manners. I'm sure there are many more where you are a perfect gent, but they don't stick in my mind, probably because th 'R' in Rat is noticeable. If I'm honest I thought your name was 'registered at' until someone else referred to you as rat...
Point is 'it was joke', a moment of levity. If you didn't like it - move the fuck on, rather than try to be a smart arse...

I'm bored of writing this now but if you check the T&C of most tickets there all non transferable. Whacking them on the bay for anyone to see is not clever...

I have done a little bit of ticket touting in my time, and this is simply not the case. You cant sell football tickets, but any other ticket can be sold, and as long as you have the tickets in hand then there is nothing anyone can do, and ebay have said that its up to the ticket owner to do as they wish, and thus will not stop touting continuing

I booked rugby tickets at Twickenham only to realised I was on holiday at the time. when I listed them on the bay even with a buy it now price at face value I received a threatening letter. I've also known of people to see seats at the millenium stadium for rugby with stickers on the seats saying 'these were sold on eBay' so its not only football. I believe they are clamping down on ALL sporting events in the UK. Anyhow, please do as you like and good luck....

Any other tickets trades are governed by civil legislation. This means it's a breach of contract not a criminal offence so you have to sue (for breach of contract etc). Means? You can sell what you want...('cept the footy...)
