| I find it funny that people have been taken off e-bay for trying to sell the tickets for anything upto £3000. Why can't people sell their personal tickets?  that's the chicken!!! |

| Cause it's meant to be a charitable event? It's like people a shedload of cash from selling those stupid wristband things. However, I totally disagree that people think that selling Live8 tickets is somehow exploiting people in Africa, though I'm open to suggestions of how that is the case. Anyway I can't be one to bitch about selling tickets, though I wouldn't do it as a way of making cash, I'd rather go to these events. It is with a lot of regret that I'm going to have to sell my Eden Session Keane tickets. |

Taking advantage of charity for profit isn't morally right.  |

| Sure it isn't morally right, but it always has and always will happen. If I bothered to enter and won, i'd probably sell them and donate about half of the money to charity. Ends up doing a lot more good for those less well off than thousands of people going for free. Pretty damn silly giving away the tickets, looking at basic economics - Geldof is not a very bright man in my opinion. |

| Probably. There donating the listing fees? Thats what? 2 quid, when people are making thousands! They should donate 90% of it, then itll be a charitable event, plus people who sell them for 3 grand still get a fair bit of moolah Originally Posted by Knoxville AMD Athlon 4400X2 @ 2.565PenisextentionMhz
