Okay, before anyone asks - I'm 35. Getting on and a little bit sad. BUT I am a huge fan of Genesis and have always wanted to see them live. They are going on tour this year and I was gagging for tickets, but they sold out almost straight away and I missed out. Out of interest I went on ebay and found absolutely loads of them on sale for 3 times their value. I can't afford these tickets now and have missed out on something I genuinely wanted. Does anyone else think this is wrong? Why do ebay let them get away with it?

I'm sorry you missed out on getting your tickets at a reasonable price. Ebay lets them get away with this because they receive a percentage from every sale.

We tried for ages to get Killers tickets to no avail. Me and my friend went on ebay to look to see of anyone were selling tickets, not intending to buy them, but to see of anyone had just brought them to make a profit. Some sellers were selling them buy it now in excess of £100 for a pair. So me and my friend emailed some of the seller telling them how disgusted we were amking money out of real music fans! Never got a reply...!

Ebay should show some dignity and outlaw the scalping of tickets. You should complain to them. But remember, with ebay, its all about the money.
