    Just to let people know i really struggled getting tickets for the Froch v Kessler fight and ended up having to get tickets behind ringside that cost a few quid. ( probably more than i wanted.) The problem was we could only get two tickets and my other two mates who wanted them couldnt get any..
    My mates were advised and succeded to get tickets by going on ebay getting the seat and row number of the ticket that is on there for £2000 ringing O2 agent which looks into it, cancels the ticket and re sells it.. Im just putting this out there incase people are in the same boat dont let these ****s sell these tickets that should be in your pocket..
    Good Luck....... WAR FROCH.. :good

    Nice one :)

    I'm glad O2 do that. Hope the scummy touts don't get a refund either :) That would make my day.

    That's quality. Does the seller get a refund on their original purchase?

    I will find out of my mate i dont know the ins and out because i was lucky enough to get through. I think how it works is, the ticket is tracked, ebay will stop take the ticket of auction and that ticket is scraped and re-scheduled. Not sure if the seller gets his money back or not, i hope not..

    That tout wont know the ticket went void and some poor soul will buy it and end getting turned away on the the night.
    Ebay should refuse to auction tickets and rid the world of touters.

    woah hang on this raises too many questions to be true.

    what happens if someone is on ebay selling a £100 ticket for £110 to cover their booking fees? is that ok?

    What about for £125 or £200 is that ok? £250? £300?


    What happens if they can't sell a spare £100 ticket for £300 and let it go late for £50 to cut their losses? is that allowed?

    Based on OP that would suggest the O2 will cancel every single ticket on ebay if you just give them a call.


    I CALL BOLLOCKS.

    Who ever is dumb enough to pay £2000k plus for £200 tickets to this fights deserves to be ripped off imo.

    Thats vip ringside money and a nice hotel stay
