Arthur's Day was a huge success, with dozens of gigs across Dublin City, with world class acts and a special shindig in the St. James Gate brewery. As you know, it's been rescheduled again for 2011, and tickets were quickly snapped up- however, those selling the tickets above face-value (some available online for up to ten times the cost) are being warned and could soon be taken down by the brewery and the folks at Ticketmaster.

In an article posted in today's Irish Times, the Guinness marketing team have stated that they are "working with Ticketmaster to investigate instances where ticket purchasers have placed tickets on eBay for resale and are endeavouring to cancel these customers" tickets where possible, as they breach the sale agreements in place by the global ticketing firm in charge of the event. It's been found that two tickets, retailed at €10 each for Brandon Flowers' solo show in The Academy were sold for nearly €250.

If you've bought tickets, you should essentially have forked out vast amounts of hard-earned cash for tickets that may not be usable.

This should be an interesting turn of events, and it shall be very interesting in how this scenario all plays out.
