I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or experience to share about
buying tickets on Ebay, i.e. possible pitfalls, ripoffs and other
assorted disappointments.

Just yesterday there was a story about 600 people who had bought tickets
for
Barbra Streisand (yeah, I know) from someone who had used a stolen credit
card to buy them originally, so they were all nullified. Ouch!

Especially since those tickets are up to $750 a piece. Double ouch.
