This is why I hope we never have all seating stadiums for concerts in the UK. They are pricing fans out of going to watch concerts, or at least getting good seats.

I know TM should be trying to combat touts not "joining them". Theres lots of things they could do like trace the people on Ebay who are selling dozens of tickets, clearly only bought for making money. For Glastonbury this year the promotor only allowed two tickets to be bought by one household and each ticket had a name on for which you needed photo ID. I know no system is fullproof but lets make it as hard for them as possible.
