Should people have been able to sell their Live8 tickets on ebay?

[FLAME]

YES.

If you win something and it has no stipulations on what you can do with it, then what’s the problem.

People whinging on about morals etc.... What a croc of shit.

Is it against the law?

No……………… so there’s your answer.

[Mafro]

Yes. They had already made the 1.50 donation, or whatever it was via the, text message. They asked for nothing else, therefore Bob "I'm a millionaire but I'm keeping it all for myself" Geldof and Co. should shut up and go away.

[Sidders]

If you win something and it has no stipulations

Err, the tickets are non-transferrable. That technically means that flogging the tickets is illegal.

[kendra k]

pshaw... you and your "laws"...

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

sidla is wrong but he thinks if he keeps saying it it will become true. ebay even said it wasn't illegal otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed up in the first place.

[Uglybob]

yeah chris twatty choi is on itv telling about ebay and the touts

[Sidders]

sidla is wrong but he thinks if he keeps saying it it will become true.

Then why is everyone still giving away tickets, i.e. The Mirror, Radio 1 etc. say the prize is non-transferable?

[DemonHorse]

could be the newspaper and bbc's own regulations for the competition?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

when they were for sale on ebay there was a statement issued that as they were 'free' charity tickets they could still legally be sold.

[Wyatt]

Ive read somewhere thats its not illegal to resell tickets under English Law.

[Quincy]

no it wasnt illegal the ebay people said it wasnt

[kendra k]

what, is this law school now?

[DemonHorse]

Hmmm i'm surprised McQueen hasn't come on and started saying people were 'factually incorrect'......

[Quincy]

hmmm im not suprised you are being such a knob all the time

[DemonHorse]

only coz every motherf*ckers on my back 24/7. (no if you ain't smart enough to guess i'm not just talking about on here). Under all that I'm gonna react and not give a sh*t what people think.

Give me a f*cking break and maybe I wouldn't have the same reactions....

plus he started it, nitpicking one little thing I had slightly wrong, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, or even just word it differently and IM the one in the wrong? b*****ks

so I got one little fact about certain frog related music wrong, who really gives a s**t?

[fish heads]

When you react like that, surely it's understandable why people wind you up.

I asked a lawyer friend of mine about this, (because I wanted to know really) and I wish I hadn't, almost an hour later, and I still didn't know!
lots of legaleese, but I think it's something to do with the Promoters letting certain companies have promotional tickets, which are labelled as such, and as they are given as part of a promotion of that company, they are set by rules and regs of the company...... I think,
