James, very different laws apply to buying from shops than to buying via the internet, even if you’re buying the same shirt: you do, after all, have the opportunity to look at the actual shirt and try it on in the shop.

Plus, in your example, the shirt buyer has been pretty negligent (losing the receipt, waiting a week): MJ ticket buyers have not.

James,

Do you disagree with Trading standards?

Its seems to me everyone who bought a ticket off e bay is saying do the right thing and pay all the money back in full and everyone who sold a ticket is saying face value is all their getting back so of course its gonna be split depending what your posistion is. I just want to give a quick example of the way i see it……. If you go to a shop and buy a shirt for £100 then take it home and decide it doesnt look as good as it did in the shop, but you leave it a week before you take it back and in that time you lose the reciept, then when you get to the shop the shirt you bought is now in the sale for £50 so all the shop will be willing to give you is the £50 face value that the shirt currently selling for, so to all those people who bought tickets off e bay have now lost their reciept (MJ dying) and should only expect the face value that is on the ticket

People like you give ticket resellers on ebay a bad name and increase the threat of increased legislation on the secondary market. As a MJ ticket seller myself, I came across this blog looking for any update on eBay’s promise to put together a facility to refund my buyer IN FULL (i.e. ticket price plus premium paid on ebay)

There is no way you can justify keeping the ‘profits’ from any concert ticket sale if the event has been cancelled.

My only guess is that people like Alex and Mo are just trying to get a reaction.

It’s off topic BUT on a lighter note…

A site blending tweets with a Michael Jackson YouTube. You’ve possibly seen it but if not….

DW,

I read your post with some interest. “Here’s a chap/chapess with an interesting argument to make, I’ll have a read and give it some consideration” I thought. Then I reached your last line, where you got on your moral high horse and made sure that I wasn’t going to pay what you said a jot of attention.

Unfortunately now for the buyer of my tickets, I will justify my actions with “absurd, insulting and, frankly, greedy” arguments, just for you.
