Sex Pistols tickets are now changing hands for as little as 1p after their opening London gigs were slammed by fans.

Touts hoping to cash in on the reformed punks have instead been left counting their losses, with a pair of £37.50 tickets attracting a winning bid of just 1p on auction site eBay.com on Thursday.

Filthy Lucre indeed.

The Pistols' brief tour concludes in Glasgow tomorrow night.

  • Well actually they were selling for £50 each outside the tube. 1p for 2 tickets, yer course they were. BTW I heard that gigwise was floated on the stock exchange for 10 pence but there were no takers. Who writes this crap, your mum?

  • going for a penny on ebay and tickets actually changing hands for ’1 pence’ is kinda different.

  • Same old rubbish being rehashed on every ’news’ site, 2 tickets for a penny, funny how 30 years on The Sex Pistols still attract this kind of ill informed press. You state ’ebay.com’ in your stunning piece of journalism, surely you meant ’ebay.co.uk’. When you are lifting whole stories from other sites be sure to check the small details that reveal your article as complete rubbish.

  • They were ace, anyone who slammed them was not a fan, heres a band who do 5 nights at brixton, sell out a 15000 seat arena and havent made a record for 30 years. who the hell else can lay claim to that. they are legends, go and listen to your blink 182 cd’s and leave the real music to the big boys, you clowns!

  • typically poor journalism! Manchester was a sold out 20 000 capacity show...far more than The Strokes and other media pets ever got!

  • I saw the Pistols last night in Glasgow, and they were worth every penny of the thirty-odd quid the ticket cost. If I had a penny for everyone who said that they saw them in 1976, I would be about 26p better off.
