Hey all. was looking at bat cave tix yesterday on ticketmaster. considered buying them for the MEN show. Went back today and alas they were gone. :(

So i thought i'd post here on the off chance that any one may have 2 spare bat cave tix for the manchester show.

Any help is really appreciated.

Cheers,
Richard

There are a couple of Bat Cave tickets for MEN on Ebay but they're on for around £250...sorry you couldn't get your tickets from Ticketmaster...though not sure how many people will be impressed that they were on sale there for £50 when we've paid £110 :shock:

Add me to the not impressed list if they're selling the tickets not bought by .Net members for half the price that the .net members were charged!

As Richard said, they're listed on Ticketmaster for £50 but you can't actually buy them, there's gonna be riots if they appear for the other shows!

Anybody else catch the broadcasted house of commons debate on banning resale of tickets, happened in June this year but was repeated on tv last night. They even had a guy from ebay speaking at it, there were some very interesting opinions put forward, the vast majority of those were from the actual promoters of events.

By any chance did they justify us paying £60 too much for a ticket?

£60 for a t-shirt and laminate...they'd better be made of gold!

Have found the transcript of the House Of Lords debate from July ...

There was also a debate in March 2007 the transcript of which is here (scroll down to 12.30pm) which continues on the next page (click "next section" at the bottom of the page.

Makes interesting reading once you filter out all the government speak
