Kylie Takes On The Scalpers

by Tim Cashmere

 

August 7 2006

 

Kylie Minogue has vowed to take on scalpers who are selling tickets to her upcoming Showgirl tour on eBay.

 

She has been in contact with Wembley Arena and has insisted they cancel tickets sold through the auction website and resell them.

 

Her show in London sold out in a matter of minutes, and at the moment is her only scheduled show outside of her Australian dates - which are replacements of cancelled shows from last year.

 

Reegan Stark from Frontier Touring, the company putting on the Kylie shows in Australia later this year told Undercover, "Frontier has an active policy against eBay scalpers and have been trying to track down scalpers and tell them they are in breach of the conditions of sale, but it's difficult to get on top of it."

 

"We can't take them to a court of law, but we can cancel their tickets because they are in breach of the terms of sale if they're selling them on and they're not an authorized seller."

 

"It's certainly something that people are trying to get more control over it, but until eBay takes an active stance there isn't much we can do," she said.

 

Tickets to Kylie's Wembley Arena concert in London are selling on eBay for up to 489 pounds ($AU1,237) for two.

good for her, its annoying that true fans like ftf cant even get tickets becuase of this.
Yeah, good on her. People shouldn't be allowed to get away with it and as Dannyboy said, if you consider the situation with FTF at the moment, it makes you think...
Go Kylie !! i don't blame her for this doing. it's ridiculous.
once again kylie shows she is a proper trooper,she is 100%right to take such action and highlight it,other money grabbing artists should take a leaf out of the fantastic book of kylie and do something about it,rather than just sit back counting the money they rob from there fans,madonna for certain should take heed as she is robbing her fans with her latest tour.
its disgusting how much madonna is charging. i hope all the tickets on ebay and other sites get re-sold.
me to i just hate the way people rip people of on e bay for ticket prices,especially when genuine fans miss out on tickets it really really annoys me
