I've reported these tickets.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Tickets-Vam ... 25707dc720

Have people reported tickets before, does anything ever happen?

Wanted the opinion of a few others before reporting - does this sound like someone trying to flog "free" SFF tickets;

I would have said these are SFF tickets. If you had pa*d full price for a ticket and wanted to sell them, would you really start an auction at 99p !

£54? What a rip-off. Even if tickets would have been pa*d for (which they're not) they wouldn't be quite so expensive... The way they don't mention the words "film" or "movie" yet mention "O2 Arena" several times makes me think they're trying to peg it as a Live Show.

Also, by the same seller:

And they list their phone number... 02088031819

They've taken this off. And yeh, it wouldn't be that expensive. It would be at approx. £13 per ticket. That's how much The Dictator regional premiere tickets were.

Person is based in Edmonton or Walthamstow and there name is haydere or did they mean "Hey There." :shifty:

Looks like they also sold their RoA tickets via Sky. Must be a member on here or MSE.

I reported both ads, I hope that's why they got taken down.

i am crying out for money this year and I could quite easily have solved a third of my cash problems by selling my rockness tickets on ebay this way, but its just not decent to sell on freebies like that, I dont see why others can be in a worse position than me that they HAVE to sell freebies like this.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?
