Three tickets for £2.64 sounds like a steal.

I like the fact that the seller is from Cardiff and reason for selling is due to 'drop outs of my party'

If you enlarge the first one, it states '2 adult tickets @ £64.00, £192.00'.

That's the price of three so I think someone hasn't done their forging particularly well. Also, the two booking totals are different

I didn't book online, but that doesn't look like the other pages I saw. They all had a black background.

I did book online and you are correct. My booking confirmation has white printing on dark backgrounds. The ticket details are printed in white on blue background.

Mind you, this seller is no worse than the legalised touts!

I've used them before (for Beyonce tickets ) From what I could work out they had sole rights to sell the "VIP" block at the O2, at £350. I wonder who makes the money from all these "diverted" tickets? Is it the venue?

Judging by what is available it looks like whole rows have been given to online "touts". It'll be fun spotting them I suppose

Well with football tickets it is the ST holder who gets a cut and then the website.
