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?
