Tout of order - The Sunday Sun, icNewcastle

Excerpt:

Heaven knows I'm miserable now . . . along with the hundreds of other Morrissey fans who failed to get a seat for his concert at the Sage in Gateshead in April.

But what makes me even sadder is that, no sooner had the fans who queued from early morning dispersed in a disappointed huff, tickets were being flogged on eBay at vastly inflated prices.

By midday on Friday, the day they went on sale, a pair of tickets on the online auction site were being touted for over £200. Their face value was £29.50 each.

Other blackmarket rip-offs are even bigger.

  • I would like to know anyone who purchased a ticket for 29.50 as no matter where you purchased it (apart from a friend or something) it was upwards of 32.00
