[kj] Ebay Camden ticket

[Shadforth, Jane E SUKOP-UOIT/52]

Unfortunately not - when Michael Eavis wanted to collaberate with them =
to stop the touting of Glastonbury tickets, they wouldn't cooperate, =
saying that all auctions are private deals between buyers & sellers. I =
think some of the sellers were traced & their tickets withheld, but it =
must have been a nightmare trying to match ebay ids with Glasto ticket =
holders.

I'm sure I've also seen ebay popups when accessing other music sites =
which boast that ebay can be used to find tickets for "sold-out" =
concerts, which imo is postively encouraging the touts.

I don't think Daniel is a regular tout who has bought the tickets with =
the aim of making money. He seems to have a genuine reason for not =
going, but he does appear to be trying to make a fast buck out of the =
situation. The auction still has 7 days to run...

I'm not certain but isn't ticket touting against ebay rules?
