Got this email back from the coldplay sneaky bugger:

i can no longer go due to unforseen circumstances..... my work have asked me 2 cover someones bank holiday shifts and no one else can cover. my friend was going to have them but he cant go either....so hence why it is listed on ebay.... i want to assure you that I'm not a hoax, and please keep and emails or info i send you if you are concerned... this is 100% genuine and seats are located in great postion if u look on pic provided.

look foward to your reply

Even if these people are genuine it really annoys me when people like this go to all the effort of buying tickets before making sure they can deffinately go, then decide just half hour later that they can't make it because they are "going to the pub for roast dinner with the family" so clearly aren't that bothered about going at all, when there are probably plenty of other people who genuinly do want to go and can make it but are left without tickets because of these people rushing in front of them.

Can i just ask why are you doing this? Is it to piss people of or something? Its obvious that these people are genuine, they are just trying to sell their ticket so someone eklse can go, all you are really doing is stopping someone from getting the ticket because the person selling it cant get rid off it!

Yes, we have established this. But why dont they just have a 'buy it now' option for the face value of the tickets. therefore, nobody is out of pocket and genuine fans get benefit.

We've had the same problem down here - all the best seats sold saturday, so cheeky sods/touts are going onto Ebay, trying to get an inflated price......happily though, this has come to the notice of those people that use Brighton's equivalent of this site, and people have sabotaged (spelling?) the sales!
