True, they would have been sold, but only to people that checked the sting.com site. Ebay is checked by zillions of people daily (OK, I over exaggerated). I'm thinking it was a pretty inexpensive advertisement for the show, sting.com and the new fan club for those that don't check on Sting regularly. I don't feel bad about them doing that, it was for publicity, charity, and they'd hoped that the price would have gone higher, it didn't. Can't blame them for trying! michelle In a message dated 9/12/03 1:40:34 PM, jason@digital-solutions.co.uk writes: << I don't know why they bothered selling the charity tickets on ebay at all to be honest... At least they would have guaranteed money for charity if they'd just have sold the first 10 pairs of tickets and memberships on the Sting.com site, and given the entire monies to charity.... At least they'd have been sold.
