Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof has slammed the "miserable wretches who are capitalising on people's misery".

Since the tickets for the London leg of the concerts to protest against poverty were won by texting phone company O2, many have been offered  for sale on auction site Ebay.

Some ticket prices were reaching £1000 for a pair of tickets, but an Ebay spokesperson stated that they would return what the company earned to the charity, but the selling of the tickets was not illegal.
