That sounds a bit out of order to me. I wouldn't ever really be happy to pay over the odds; if a ticket has got a face value that's all it should be worth. But then again, if I were to pay extra I would always rather use an official company. That way, at least, you have some sort of comeback if anything goes wrong.

It's really annoying. The prices are too high already, with booking, administration, and postage and packing fees. By the time you actually buy a ticket it's more than £50. It's unfair to associate spending with the level of dedication. I would rather queue for tickets - that's a more fitting indication of a fan's dedication than their spending power.

If you want to see the band enough then you will be happy to pay extra. If you left it late enough to miss the first batch of tickets you'd probably have to use eBay anyway. Bidding is the test of a true fan. I got tickets to Take That for me and my girlfriend for £140 each from eBay. If the tickets are gone it's the only way.

I think it's outrageous, I really do. Ticket companies aren't auction sites; they should sell all their tickets at a set price. If I were to pay over the average then I would rather do it on eBay, as that's part of the deal. The music business really shouldn't stoop to swindling extra money out of people.
