SHOP.blink.ph – Philippines Online Guide: Internet Trading Auctions Shopping Buying Selling Classifieds

My, my, the hottest tickets in town finally made its way over at eBay Philippines. Via Cheftonio, the Ateneo – La Salle tickets links at eBay are here, here and here.

For these incoming finals games, The PNP is really strict on scalpers and already few are caught and charged. But, it looks like if you do sell over in the interwebs and jack up the price 1000%, that’s not scalping but online enterprising geniuses. Sosi kasi if via eBay, rather than be at the gates of Araneta and sway your tickets for sale.

Via TJ Manotoc…

A few enterprising ones who were blessed with more tickets than they need have gone online, offering their spare tickets on eBay Philippines.

One such vendor is offering his Upper Box A seat for a minimum of P6,000, a seat that has a face value of P250. There is even one vendor selling a package of tickets for Game 1 and 2, even though Game 2 tickets have yet to be released. Selling of tickets on eBay online is legal and an accepted practice in the US where eBay made its name.

As for eBay Philippines, they specified this: “eBay permits resale of tickets to entertainment events (including sporting events, concerts, and plays) to the fullest extent permitted by law.”

But that’s only a handful of tickets so far online, and so far only 1 bidder for an Upper Box B ticket selling at a minimum P1,500. The real action happens with the real life scalpers. And the bulk of the scalpering activity does not happen right outside the venue on game day as most people think.
