According to reports today ticketmaster are making their tickets less susceptible to people buying tickets in bulk and selling them on for an inflated price. They say they are doing this by hiking the price of tickets depending on demand.

Surely this is a load of bollocks and just a way of gaining more money out of people. I mean it does nothing if the people that do the ticket scams buy a bulk load and increase demand by buying so many. Then they are laughing anyway.

Why not limit the amount of tickets one person can buy per transaction?

It’s just capitalism at its finest. Pretending you are doing it to help others when in fact it’s just helping yourself.

They do limit the amount you can buy. The practise of changing prices to suit demand is not allowed in Europe

Yep it's bollocks.

Obvious, given they also own reseller sites, or at least used to.

I remember the good old days of queuing overnight outside venues in the pouring rain with a four pack of cider and 20 Marlboro to get tickets to a gig.
