    Did anyone see this last night? Was focusing on ticket touts. One of the guys made UK£30,000 from Rolling Stones alone. It was gas seeing them outside the events using all their differetn codes and then having subtitles to let you know what they mean. I'll give you a carpet for a ticket means 30 quid. They were saying how ebay and other online auction sites are ruining the tout business as people are doing it for themselves now. One of the guys bought a pub with the money he's made out of touting as he sees the business coming to an end. The other guy went to Austrailia for the Rugby World Cup but only just broke even.

    Yeah but these guys were Kings of their trade, gathering tickets from low level touts, selling from an office by phone and often selling tickets they didn't even have yet. They also got tickets for the Royal Enclosure at at Ascot
