New Year's Eve fireworks tickets on sale for 50 times original price
http://www.itv.com/news/london/updat...-sale-for-500/
This is what is happening when tickets go on sale for something, where did they come from.
Isn't it about time that Boris, did something about this and stop ticket touts getting hold of these tickets. Obvious who has bought them,

Re: Creeps are about again
Problem is Arthur - Viagogo and Seatwave are perfectly legit companies......very dodgy practices but legit companies all the same.

Its not Boris' problem Arthur. You seem to be implying that it is.
While touting is annoying and bang out of order these sites are perfectly legal and some are actually owned by ticketmaster themselves.
Some event try to prevent it by limiting the amount of tickets one person can buy and also make your name get prited on the ticket or require ID at gates to confirm you are named on the ticket.
People are that desperate to buy tickets they will pay the asking prices. Its supply and demand.

I can't believe that......
People would pay over the odds to see Spurs.

Supply and demand sets the price. Always has, always will.

I agree, cheap and clean, I moved from Essex to north notts 16 years ago and haven't looked back. Mind you I don't think it would suit Arthur, there would be less for him to rant and moan about.
