Ebay Ashes tickets cancelled.

While I think this is a good move. I don't think any company should resrict the right of the owner of the ticket to on-sell. The ticket is their property and they should therefore be able to either use it or sell it. If there are suckers out there who are going to pay 3 times the amount of the ticket value, then fair game I say. What I don't agree with is allowing people to buy unlimited tickets or a massive block. Tickets should be restricted to 4 at a time for individual sale. However, that then causes problems for people who honestly want to purchase 6 or 8 tickets for them and all their mates.

They are allowed to re-sell their tickets, but the conditions of purchase state that they cannot be resold at a premium. If people legitimately find that they can't use their tickets, there's nothing to stop them on-selling their tickets at, or under face value.Mister Wright said:

What I meant was selling it at a higher price. I know you can sell them at the same price.cameeel said:

I seriously doubt they have cancelled many tickets at all. I reckon they're just talking tough and trying to make it look like they've taken stern action when, truth is that without the co-operation of Ebay, they really don't have much of a clue which tickets were on-sold, let alone which were on-sold at a premium.

I just simply don't believe them, that they've cancelled anything like a significant number of tickets. In this article for instance, it alleges that they won't even give Ebay information on the exact number of tickets cancelled. They're just (from the same organisation that brought you the Ashes ticket fiasco in the first place; and the Warne/Waugh cover-up) playing the public for mugs, once again.

I don't get how they can cancel them though, its not as if any of the sellers would be stupid enough to publish the ticket numbers. The only way I could see is if ebay gave CA the personal details of the sellers and CA cross refrenced it with the ticket holders list. But that would be a huge breach of privacy.

yeah but why would they go to all that length to lie about somethink to then be found out and causing them more trouble
