It's true LiteupLee but for some people they'd rather make some quick and easy cash.

Vouchers are a tricky debate. They are always on eBay... I never really p*y attention to these though because for many it will be from a winning of theirs and similarly people sell goodies that they win (like the iPod touch, iPhone etc) and have no use for them so I let these ones go. The ones that piss me off are the ones through Sky, SFF, Telegraph etc...basically the ones with a specified screening date that are first come first served that they've found from websites like FMUK that are available to everyone and then have the cheek of selling them on even though it's so easy to cancel them! That's preventing a potential person who should have got it for free having to p*y for it which is unfair. If you don't need it or knows anyone who needs it, don't book it especially not for the purpose of making money.

50% on o2 Priority until tomorrow (http://www.o2priority.co.uk/moments) and 40% via Odeon. And obviously these two here, don't think people have heard of these offers:

What do you chose to report SFF (or other) tickets being sold?
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.
I did this:

Well they didn't take it off but hey, it expired and nobody bidded on it! Still... that person is a right moron!

I b*ght some tickets once, before I knew anything about free previews. I got them on ebay from a woman in Liverpool who told me she gets lots of them. I felt very silly when I found out what I'd b*ght even if it were for a small amount of money.

I can't believe people are bidding on the 40% off vouchers for the odeon or in fact selling them. I would email it on for free if they wanted to.

and the guy (most likely a comp winner) has the guts to put his phone number... easily traceable with google (website designer)...
he is lucky if nobody contacts the PR company who provides Abduction premiere tickets :roll:

I mean charge, make a profit whatever but what's with the pretence "hate to see tickets going to waste"? Why not offer it up on lovely sites like FMUK ;)
