Festival Lovers E-Bay Auctions News - Amazing Charity E-bay Auction on NOW!

A group of music lovers who are fundraising for The Hepatitis C Trust have worked all their contacts to put together a truly rock and roll e-bay auction with 100% of the proceeds going to charity.

Not only have these ladies bagged tickets to the hottest festivals in the country but they have also managed to arrange a meet and greet with a major act at each festival.

Ok so normally we could say get your tickets direct from the festival but in this case e-bay is the place to be - get a pair of festival tickets, a meet and greet with one of the acts and buy in the knowledge that every single penny you spend will be going straight to a good cause.... Crikey - can it get any better?

The auction launches on Monday the 17th May and you can find it at http://donations.ebay.co.uk/charity/charity.jsp?NP_ID=14614 it will be open for 10 days with the following tickets up for sale:
