Ticket Touts
What's the official line on ticket touts outside venues? Is it legal or not? I recall seeing loads outside Wembley Park station at the Foo Fighters gig walking around with big wads of tickets in their hands and they were being as bold as you like...the police did nothing. But when the gates opened the police suddenly intervened and put a stop to it.
And how come they get their hands on so many tickets, especially for sold out events?

I dont think its legal, maybe frowned upon, you see them every show you go to,
when i saw them at southampton i thought it was really funny, as they had stacks of tickets but the show wasnt sold out so im sure they ended up losing loads of cash, i cannot believe anybody would have bought them as you could have them booked them through official channels. I can kind of understand using a tout if show is sold out and this is only way of getting a ticket but i believe most uk shows are still selling tickets so they may have a bad few weeks

If anyone fancies selling a couple of GC tickets for Twickers night 1 for below face value, I'll gladly take them and rest assured I'm not a tout. I've simply been ripped off for over £500 worth of tickets for that show and if anyone is contemplating letting a couple of tix go to touts for a snippet of the RRP, I'll gladly take em off you instead and that way I'll actually get to enjoy the show afterall.
