Sorry to bring this up as I am a happy camper on HA, but what happens at Maison Blanche that makes it worth £190 with two days left on the e**y auction???
Do gentle ladies wander around attending to everyone's needs, medical, emotional and physical?
I know there is a risk I might miss Paddy's banner flying but is it really so much better?
I intend to visit DFH anyway just to see the setup, Paddy's stuff is so-o-oo enticing and I might be able to bum the odd Heineken....
£190, I just cannot believe......

I particularly like the ones who say "I'm just selling one ticket because one of our group has pulled out". Yeah but you were also selling one last week and the week before etc etc.
The one thing on Ebugger that really pissed me off was the Tsunami Comic Aid event which I actually wanted to go to. The tickets were £50 each with all proceeds going to the disaster and there were w*nkers selling them on ebay for £200 each. Anyone who can profit from the deaths of 120,000 people is sick

It was the same case with the charity sports matches. At one stage, tickets for the rugby match were selling for double face value, even though they were still available from Ticketmaster. A bit like Beausejour tickets this year!!
The same thing is happening with the charity wrist bands. Nike have said they are stopping making them as they can't meet the demand, whilst people who've bulk bought them are flogging the £1 bands for £5 upwards!

Didn't a MB ticket go for over £300 a few years back?

That was when they found out who else camped there. ;)

I was too late with my tickets aswell, bought them at JustTickets in Dover for GBP 80,- each. Sounds like a fair price looking at ebummer :-\

I totally agree. Last year when I went to the Tou d' France, they were genuinely selling Lance Armstrongs Livestrong bands for 1 euro. The fact that they are for a cancer charity and most people have been affected by it makes my piss boil when people are cashing in on it. You can buy them from the actual charity for a maximum $1 each.
