Why do people feel the need to buy tickets to a big concert or gig just to sell them at a higher price and rip people off.

Already happened today with Eminem tickets. Lucky i got mine.

Makes me so angry these people.get away with this

Can't stand the touts. Whenever I've a spare ticket, usually get rid of it outside the venue. Been offered over the odds on a few occasions, but always pass it on at face value. Hate the thought of people getting ripped off.

It's really annoying, especially when it's a sold out gig and If you want to go it's the only way you can get a ticket.

Unfortunately it's because they know they can.

They know people will pay anything to go.

So until promotors find a decent effective way to make tickets personal to the buyer it will continue I'm afraid.

Personally, I think it just prays on people's desire to see their favourite bands/artists and that just sucks

Don't get me started on this today!

Jamiroquai tickets. First, no flipping dates in Scotland so just call it Flipping England tour!

Then this girl says on Facebook, bought 8 tickets but only need 4, message me if you want them

And she wasn't the only one!

Oooh! My blood's been boiling all day

Have never sold on a ticket for more than face value no matter what gig. If I can't go I certainly don't try and make money from it. It's not right.

Ps

Have a spare ticket for Steve Hackett in Glasgow in May

Really annoying!

Another annoying thing was a few people mentioned that they missed out on some tickets because by the time they went through the 'I am not a robot' thingy the tickets had gone!
