I voted no because there was no "Who cares" option

Patch :O;-)

You risk losing your money if you buy tickets via ebay. Some promoters cancel them.

On the rare occasion I do go to concerts, it's only at one of the local pubs anyway, which means that the tickets are for sale at the music shop or on the door...

I would never buy a ticket on eBay... The only time I have ever been to see bands outside where I live is the Big Day Outs and I always make sure I get my ticket well ahead of time as they sell out really fast... The promoters also take great steps to avoid scalpers

I've only bought a few old collectable tickets - that's the best way to buy them.
