Rant!
Really pissed off on a number of counts:
1) Why the f*** do they sell these things during the week?? Don't they realise that a lot of fans have to work? & hence have no chance of trying for tickets?? If it was on a Saturday at home, I'd have access to 3 phones & the internet. As it was, I had to ask my mum to try & get them. She had no chance!
2) Which leads me on to the fact that if they go on sale during the week there is far more chance for Touts to get them! & this is what really pisses me off!! No sooner have they gone on sale than there are loads of the things on Ebay! Are ticket offices really playing the game fairly?? Or do they release a load to touts who drop them a few quid?
& what do touts actually bring to society?? They complicate the ticket buying process by buying a load of them & for a lot of fans they have to go through extra hassle to get them. Like a middle man when there really is no need.
After which the lazy b****ds sell them on ebay for a tidy profit. Do these people pay Tax or VAT? Do they f***.
& what is being done about it?? sod all! Ticket offices make a few quid from it & ensure that their allocation is all sold, so they don't care. Ebay gets a load of trade so they don't care. But the fans get screwed every time!
Surely touting is illegal & if not, it should be! Ebay should have a rule whereby a user can only sell tickets once over a period of time (to give ppl with genuine reasons a chance). None of these block sellers. They clearly shouldn't be allowed.
So what is a fan meant to do to get a ticket? Either they are lucky on the day or they can pay £300 extra for a sodding boat cruise?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
