eBay has become a dumping group for Stone Roses scalpers ever since tickets to their reunion shows went on sale last week.

2 tickets to the July 1, 2012 show at attracting “buy now” buys of 10k but no-one has bid at that price. Pairs of tickets for £5k and £6k are also online now for purchase or bids at eBay.

The speed at which the scam tickets went on sales has angered Stone Roses fans who missed out. The shows sold out in 14 minutes and within the hour after that were littering eBay.

Stone Roses spilt in 1996 and announced their reunion last Tuesday.
