promised my friend I'd get us tickets to see Pink, but when I managed to get online they were already sold out. Might be able to get 2 on ebay for not much more than the normal price, but is it wise? How do you know if they're real?

I've twice bought theatre tickets on ebay with no problems at all - real bargains. But you can always get the odd seller who is a con.

yeah some of the listings look ok (eg some people whose friends bought tickets as well so they ended up with too many). It's hard to tell which ones might be dodgy though!

So long as the person had plenty of good feedback I would buy them.

there were others with fewer bids but the seller had no feedback - I didn't risk them. They were prob ok but I'm buying for my mate as well!

I got take that tickets from ebay a couple of years ago.

It was very nerve wracking, but I made sure I picked a seller with excellant feedback and paid for special delivery and it was fine.

I was a bit worried, but there was no problem.
