There are already two listings on ebay, both kicking off at forty quid for two. I'm taking a stand and refusing to pay that much (and I ***may*** be able to squeeze in for free), but in case anyone has one spare ticket and feels like helping me out, please let me know...

On the brighter side, I finally picked up the Godfather boxset, which I've been after for quite some time. Yes, I know HMV sucks, but they were offering it for 30 quid instead of 50. I'm quite excited about seeing the films -- I've only ever seen part of the first one. Being a Godfather myself, I'm interested to see how much carries over from real life into the film, and vice-versa. ;-)

[Update on Sunday 2nd November at 17.55 GMT]: It seems the whole ticket handout hasn't quite gone to plan, leaving a lot of people unhappy. Jim pointed me to another Edinburgh blogger who thinks we should just be happy with our lot, before the world thinks we are just whiners. I disagree. What exactly is the point of STACKS of our tax money going on an event that is going to do absolutely nothing for the residents of Edinburgh. Yes, more people may come and visit us and bring cash into the city, but surely, for MTV to knock out a (relatively) small concert in Edinburgh should be part of the fun of the whole event. Either way, I'm still looking for a ticket...
