Thanks mate.

I think I asked a question under another username and I am bugg***d if I can remember it!

I don't want to be a newcomer that rocks the boat, I do understand  peoples views that tickets should be sold at face value.  But I do believe that we should buy our own tickets better.

E*** does provide an escape route for people like me who always leave it too late!

I know what you mean about buy-it-now but I suppose e*** has bred a culture of entrepreneurs out to make money. 

It's our fault really for not buying the tickets in time.

Low supply and high demand always generates a higher sell price.

Most of the sellers on e*** do start the auctions at a low price i.e.  £1 so technically they are leaving it up to the buyers to decide the sell price.  They could potentially sell for £1.

It is the buyers inflating the prices, not the sellers.

Hi,

I bought a pass for Le mans last year from e***.

I couldn't get one from the ACO as I left it too late.

Although I paid over the odds for it at least I got to go to Le Mans.

I know you feel that the people selling them are out of order but at least they are providing a service.

I read on this site a couple of years ago that a good way to ensure you get on the site was to colour photocopy a genuine pass.

Who is worse?  The people selling tickets or the people photocopying them?

This is the first I have herd of anybody here either proposing to or condoning the copying of camping tickets! You only have to look at the efforts people are going to legitimately buy tickets as the point in case - I think you must have dreamt it or think its a good idea yourself - bog off.

What a warm welcome!

Honestly though, I am not imagining this.
