Tickets for memorial selling on Ebay, WTF!?

[Seeress]

Can't say I'm surprised. But from what I've seen, it seems like the organizers are trying real hard to cut down on scalping tickets. The wristbands were a good move.

what an asshole

[DJ Spins the sounds]

We've all got money problems matey, dosen't give you the right to sell the ticket, and I'm sorry but to most MJ fans, this isn't just a bit of fun, this is god dam heart breaking, I bet only a quarter of people going tomorrow are real fans of MJ, the rest are there just for the circus ride.

[swirly]

There's no more on Ebay now, thank god

[Wingfoot]

I knew it!

These morons had to get tickets and try to sell them on Ebay. Some prices are several thousand Dollars high.

I hate people like this!! It makes me so mad!

[GenineLovesMJ]

I'm reporting them every couple of seconds. Help me people! I know eBay isn't allowing it, but they need help to shut these people down! They are popping up faster than I can report them. At least one new scumbag every minute. If you go to the page you can click on the "Report this Item" button at the very bottom. It's been working for the most part. Some of them are listing for $10 MILLION! This is horrible. I've decided to wage WAR against these leeches. I couldn't pay my rent this month and even I would gladly live on the streets before I would have resorted to something as sick as this! We have to at least try to stop them.

I found 4 and reported them. Scumbags.

It's heartbreaking isn't it. They should have given them to fan clubs or something. That was clearly, not the way. In the press conference they said it was all about the fans. My ass. I hope that people are respectful tomorrow, or my blood will boil.

Same here. They made me sick. Argh!

I have reported 48 auctions just on eBay in the last HOUR. I know this because I have eBay email me confirmation of every "report" I send them. Frankly I'm exhausted. I know it's a losing battle because the sickos probably just keep relisting them after eBay takes them down. This will go on all night. Right now I need a break, will return in a while to battle more. I hope others will as well. At least I feel like I'm doing *something* - as small as it may be - to squash the negativity these horrible people are putting out there just with their greed and lack of respect.

I'll take over while you're resting :p

I'm gonna help

Thanks guys. I'm back for a few.

I just reported 8 more in the last 15 minutes or so. Sadly I missed one, wasn't quick enough, and it ended with Buy It Now. Some sleazeball actually got away with selling a single ticket for $1,000!!!!! I'm so mad I could spit. I was probably just a few seconds too late to get the report in, not that it would have stopped the sale - but it might have at least gotten eBay to take a look and suspend the seller or something.

This will probably be a mad rush for the next 2 hours because from what I understand they have kept the Dodgers Stadium lines (to claim tickets) open until 7pm PST, which is about 2 1/2 hours from now. People will be selling the vouchers like crazy until then.

I haven't eaten yet today but I can't stop reporting these. I figure each one we hit will at least help discourage one more person, and MAYBE ... just MAYBE keep someone from making a profit off of the world's great loss. Either way, I don't know how these people will be able to sleep tonight knowing they have done this. Sad world. Sad sad sad.

Any reports to eBay you guys can make helps, I'm gonna keep going as long as I can function!!!!

Oh, and keep refreshing the page because even if it looks like you got them all - trust me, you haven't. They keep popping up.

Yeah, every refresh there's atleast 2 new auctions. Pretty bad.

[GenineLovesMJ]

Be sure to hit the BUY IT NOW auctions first if you can, too. For reasons mentioned above. They can go FAST and the faster we hit them with a "report," the quicker eBay can take them down and hopefully stop the sales.
