Here is what the ebay description says:

"If you are wondering how come the premier online ticket broker in the entire world (...that's me :->) didn't get any seats in the front blocks, the answer is simple: they were reserved for the fanclub members - they never were available to buy and they never will be as they are non-transferable personal invites! Here you are buying THE BEST POSSIBLE TICKETS AVAILABLE."

So you see, the club has been spared the evil ways of scalpers. this person either works for ticketmaster or the venue.

Nice to see that Prince has managed to effectively stopped these people taking up all the Front seats and making a tidy profit out of it. (and saved them for the ones who really care).

Nice one P!

*peace*

Send NPG Music Club e.mail about this Saturday morning. They wrote backing saying not to worry - all the NPG Music Club seats are reserved and the person selling these seats works for another Company. £177.00 for each ticket - can you believe that - trouble is, a really big fan who can't get a ticket would pay that price. Glad we've been assured of our NPG tickets after the upset yesterday.

Sad thing is, having those 177 UK pounds, you can still join the NPGMC go and get front row seats and still have some extra cash for a beer before the gig. These tickets were for October 3rd, and now Sunday morning there are still some left available. Hope that no one got ripped off with this scalper.

I know someone who works for the venues and they were very interested in knowing about this guy scalping so many tickets, its totally unfair how real fans end up having to pay nearly 2 1/2 times for general seating.

I dont think he will be selling them for long.

Either that or we could all just keep buying them all and not repaying especially if you have an old eBay account you dont need anymore (you will no doubt recieve negative feedback)

What kind of idiot ru? its ppl like you who ruin the whole ebay experience, tough they are selling tix at high prices Prince isn't the only one this happens too, get over it, its the way of the world now as frustrating!! But dont go encouraging ppl to false bid on items thats just as bad as touting tickets.
