Now I can understand people liking the Stone Roses, but surely this is a bit OTT

    It's the backlash against touts, I have bid 10m on at least 20 sets of tickets today. It's sickening how many set of tickets are on eBay when it was such a struggle to get them.

    It's touts and ordinary people who cause this problem. It's surely not difficult to stop the resale of tickets for more than face value. OK so you can't police this everywhere but it would damage the touting of tickets on websites.

    Won't you end up getting banned from ebay for doing that?
    It's even more maddening that some were already on ebay before they had even gone on sale

    I probably will get banned, but can't say I am bothered, be worth it if it disrupts a few touts plans. Know quite a few who are doing the same.

    If it causes the touts and profiteers hassle and grief it'll be worth it. Think I might join in and put a few up for sale.
