The reason it's OK is that, I'm sure, Sir Bob never said "text me for a ticket, and if you

I think that people have won a prize and can do whatever the f*ck they like with it.
It's been said that Live8 isn't about raising money anyway, it's about raising awareness.
Live8 is about wiping out billions and billions of pounds of debt and securing billions of pounds of iad for the future a few kids making a couple of hundred quid on ebay won't be condemning anyway to poverty if Live8 doesn't suceed.
And what about those paying hundreds of pounds to buy the tickets? It's being assumed that these people might be believing that there money is going to charity? I don;t believe that for a minute, they just want to see Madonna or Coldplay and don;t mind paying for that misfortune.
