[kj] Ebay Camden ticket

[gathering@misera.net]

I've e-mailed my thoughts to the seller, as somebody whos looking for a ticket.

I could probably afford to win those tickets as I've had a few quid wind fall from a previous employer, but should I ??
Tempted.

I'll probably come down and take my chances on the night.

I've still got the Berlin gig << thanks to my friend Mr Visa

Brian.

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.
