I did also email that ebay link to Odeon which I forgot to mention, however being a Sunday they probably wont see my email until next week.

Well, at least they will know about it for future reference...

No they do check it on a regular basis. I got responses from them over the weekend.

I used to report SFF stuff on eBay but eBay NEVER take them down.

If I ever find anyone selling SFF tickets here or anywhere, I will personally hunt them down and tiger it out with them.

Well, I will definitely report them to SFF and if I ever find an eBayer b*ying SFF tickets, I will make them file out a returns claim. And I WILL win that claim. Don't try me when it comes to the law.

Yea, I dont think they take things down unless a lot of people complain about it. When Rage Against the Machine had a free concert in Finsbury park this year....some people tried to sell their tickets on ebay (despite the fact its got a photograph of themselves printed on them). It was brought to attention via facebook and loads of people reported them...and they disappeared!

Lol @ superhero - don't worry, I'll never do anything to you.

Free things shouldn't have a price. I would never agree to that.

This person has claimed 3 pairs for this. He/she most likely got them specifically in order to sell on e-bay seeing as their home is in Poole and the screening is in Birmingham!

How I wish I could remember my e-bay username in order to report them (I've changed e-mail address so I can't retireve it!)

Just sent a report. I used:

Prohibited, banned items
Event tickets
Breach of other event tickets

It seems to be the right place for these things.
