I find selling tickets for profit pretty contemptuous. No better than the touts sniffing around outside the venue.
Go, or do the decent thing and sell them at face value. |

"Which do you value more, the money or the experience?

^^ This. You couldn’t pay me to listen to the Stones but I’d never sell tickets for profit. |

Will probably be the last time they tour, but if you have seen them before, flog them, saw then at Glastonbury a few years ago, they were good, but not a patch on what they were back in the 80s when I saw them at roundhay park |

Sell them.
Seriously. Crowds are so large you will see someones back and hear loads of noise all the way through.
When I went to see Paulo Nuttini it could have been the top of anyone's head i was looking down at.
Sell them at what ever you can get for them. |

And again this!!
It's about time something was done to restrict secondary ticket sales to face value plus a reasonable amount to cover original booking fees - shame is the government won't do anything to stop it.
Plus the fact you won't sell them on eBay OP - they'll force you to sell them through StubHub where they take a large percentage for themselves.
Put them on Twickets which only allows face value plus a small percentage and let a fan that couldn't get tickets have them for face value - you'll not have lost a penny and will be doing the decent thing |

I can’t stand it. I adore going to live gigs, but I despise people who buy tickets purely to sell on for a profit. |

The only good thing about the secondary ticket selling sites is that at least they also rip off the parasites selling tickets for way over the odds!
I listen to a punk band called Ferocious Dog, they're on tour at the moment and have close links to a charity. I've seen a number of posts n facebook from people unable to get to gigs they've brought tickets for and they give the tickets away as long as the recipient makes a donation to the charity.
I know which sort of fan I would rather be. |

Totally this ... but go & see them! The experience is worth so much more than the tickets (unless they’re shit seats up in the gods at the O2!)
And if your selling at face value, I’ll take one! |

I saw them at Roundhay park in 1982 and at Glastonbury in 2013 and at a couple of other concerts inbetween and they were fantastic every time. At glastonbury not only was the music awesome but the overall show was out of this world, i'd say better than in previous years. Looking forward to seeing them at Coventry.

I disagree also with selling concert tickets for profit. I would be happy to get my money back if selling such tickets. However if the OP sells them for face value the person buying might sell them for a profit themselves.
I,d go to see them if you can OP, life is for living now. X |

Op it's a moral decision if you were looking for said tickets any other time would you be happy to pay a very over inflated price for them ,I'm guessing not but you will probably kid yourself and us and say yes |

This - should be made illegal to sell tickets for more than face value.
Or, how about people just stop buying them? If they stopped doing it then the touts would stop touting and the fans would win. |

Money comes and goes but experiences stay with you 
Plus 4x the price isn't going to be that much really. |
