Report them all. It can only spoil things for us otherwise. I have seen tix offered totally free on Freecycle sites before now. I don't see anything wrong with that especially if you find you can use your tix and can surrender them either. Indeed that's exactly how I found out about previews in general in the first place.

Would someone actually p*y so much more just to watch it early?

Seems an awfully silly con for the sake of £2.

I was checking how to report Items on EBay and could not decide what:
Report Category/Reason for Report/Detailed reason...
What do you chose to report SFF (or other) tickets being sold?

Wow this person has no ethics. Have you seen their feedback? :nono: You'd be crazy to b*y anything from this person!...+ they should be banned from the site. Unacceptable :nono:

From ebay site:

Tickets to Free Events
Members are not permitted to sell tickets to events where all tickets are free to the public.


Free event should be enough.

So out of order. If you get something for free and you can't use it/them, surely the right thing to do is to give it to someone else who can use them or return to sender? That's what I'd do anyway, forgive me if I'm being stupid!!
