Yeah, I've never been remotely tempted to pay a ridiculous amount to see any band. I shouldn't have to and I refuse to be a part of the whole system tbh. It's not like I've never seen the Manics before and I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities.

Well done to those who did get tickets though!

This is ridiculous. Those £299 tickets were sold by GIGwigs London. Now they are selling another pair for £499 under a different username.

I'd actually be really interested to see how many people got tickets because it seems to me that one hell of a lot went to people who just want to sell them on. there's already been what 10 on ebay? after half an hour, doesn't sound a lot but when you consider there were probably only 150 200 possibly on sale it's quite a chunk.

It IS Ticketmaster! It's a division of their company... Wouldn't surprise me if the bast*rds reserved half of the tickets for 'get me in' without even being on general sale

One thing i've never understood with ebay... why do people bid so far in advance? It just pushes the price up! Just don't get it?!

The thing is, I'd be happy to pay £100 for a ticket to this event, but to the band, their suppliers,and the venue, not to leeches and touts. I suppose that would exclude a lot of people who can't afford it though, so on the whole I'm not complaining.
