    Yea that's really helpful :rolleyes:
    Ticket touts have been around for a long time and are not going anywhere.

    They're only "around for a long time" because people are stupid enough to give in to their demands.

    If they bought 10,000 tickets for something and everyone decided not to buy, it would teach them a lesson.

    about 10 years ago me and a few mates went to a gig in the olmypia, My mate got us the tickets and i ended up with the last one with the receipt attached.

    It was a dark winters night, Loads of touts outside and loads of people, i ended up selling a tout the receit that looked like a ticket, but had price ect on it for face value.

    It paid for my beer for the night, good times.

    As it turns out one of my sisters's friends can't go to the concert and has offered me her ticket!
    Trouble is it's an e-ticket off the internet i.e. a print-out.
    Will I be asked for I.D. for it? Obviously my name isn't going to match the one on the ticket!
