Well, it's typical I guess. Everytime U2 tours their show sell out mega fast. And since the rise of eBay we meet a new problem: some scum individuals buy tickets to sell them immediately on eBay for a doubled, tripled or even insaner price! I mean, the tickets got sold on saturdaymorning (in 4 hours, go figure...) and by noon, the first were already available on eBay.be. I'm getting sick and disgusted by these 'fans' who suddenly realize they can't join the show...and making hundreds of Euro's just by getting tickets they don't need. I'm getting even more disgusted by those who could sell tickets in advance by registering on U2.com and sell them afterwards. Arghhfff, it's frustrating to see that the black market has shifted from the dark little streetcorners to such a public (anonymous) place like eBay. I have my three tickets, and I'll be there on the 10th of June with two of my best friends. I hope I'll meet other people too who got their by buying their tickets regularely. Just to demonstrate: U2 tickets for sale on eBay Belgium
