leave them on there and post around the place that your site has live 8 tickets! could generate a lot of interest in your site 
Think how much press coverage ebay got about selling on theirs!
Send a email (from a non @ukflava.com email address) to bbc etc and say 'I think it's disgusting this site is selling tickets' linking to your ukflava site haha - try to get people talking about it.
Put on your site 'Only auction site to allow sales of Live 8 Tickets' 
You imagine if everyone started trying to sell them on your site - it'd gain a lot of interest!

let them sell them. money already been generated for the charity so if this person gives to charity abit of profit then its a bonus. If not its not harmed the charity in anyway. imo

exactly this is what I thought about ebay!
I still think you should send a few things to TV / radio stations or something ... post on a Live 8 message board that ukflava has some for sale etc ... 
But do it from a 3rd person point of view... as anyone who ever posts 'Hey check out my site' no one wants to know! - where as if you post 'Haha look I just found this site that's selling Live 8 tickets' people may view if interested 
The thing is a site like a auction site is a catch 22 situation... you need to be selling things to get people to come view the site and buy... but you need people to come and buy for people to want to sell things.
A strange event like this - which if you did right and got loads of attention would get the people and possibly start the site snowballing and thus auto growing on its own.

Played mate
I know one of the hardest parts of having a site is getting it up and running ... You can have the best site ever - but until it really starts snowballing it's very easy to die.
You gotta get people there, but you need people to be there already for them to come... a Crazy Chicken & Egg situation!
Good luck

Yep its true mate, its more powerful than ebay believe it or not 
It's getting there now though, today was a big boost when i nailed that advertising deal.
Also spent alot (and still am) on advertising / website optimisation
Gaining around 5-10 new customers a day
