Like some said previously it is a dog eat dog world out there at the moment!!
And yeah i could feel bad but hey if it wasnt be it would of been someone else!!

If it wasn't for people like yourself, then I may actually have been able to purchase tickets!  
However much I really want to go there is no way I am forking out hundreds of £s for tickets that are only worth about £80 for a pair.
The sooner the industry makes a move and does something about online touting the better!

Touts justify what they do by saying they saw an opportunity which others did not and had the foresight to buy tickets. Thats absolute rubbish. The only difference between a genuine fan who didn't get a ticket and a tout that did is down to luck. Solvent made a deal of saying if got up early , implying others didn't. He got lucky, and he's just a greedy rip off merchant that ordered more tickets than he wanted with the intention to sell them at 800percent inflation.

Although if you'd like to sell one at face value, Mrs Nug would love you forever

If him indoors doesn't buck his ideas up, Mrs Nug can come with me
Aren't there any left? I tried again an hour or so later to see if there were any left and it seemed to intimate there were. I paid £55 each for Don Valley Stadium standing. no point going to a concert and sitting down

I aint ashamed of it and really aint that fussed if you lot dont approve either.

You seem to be making a big deal of it, why not just be happy with ripping people of rather than bragging about it and rubbing peoples noses in it, you might think you have nothing to be ashamed of but it's hardly some thing to be proud of.

She's trying for Don Valley, but has had absolutely no luck - she's considering Wembley (if she can get one there), so she can make a weekend of it

I've booked a hotel also (before i got the tickets while prices were still low!), but i'm not sure what else there is to see/do in Sheffield 
I'm keeping an eye on it as some friends want tickets so will let you know if i spot anymore coming available.

It's amoral, You didn't see an opportunity nor is this simply (respectable) business. There were a finite amount of tickets available you so got as many as you could so you could hold the people who missed out to ransom. Those four tickets would have gone to someone who actually wanted to go, and now they are not.

That is not true. If someone pays £850 for tickets then they really really really want to go
