T In The Park announces measures to battle touts

Festival offering 'luxury camping packages' to combat touting

It really annoys me, this whole luxury festival thing. Half of the festival experience is roughing it for a weekend, not having a proper wash and looking/smelling like a skank. All these luxury packages cater for are wannabee celebrities with money. Its so annoying that festivals now sell out before anyone s announced too - proof that its not about the music anymore, which is a pretty sad thing. That said, Id never defend touts - they are out of order and its such a lazy, dishonest way to 'earn' money. The ticket exchange thing is a pretty good idea though I think though. Hopefully it'll work and see real music fans get the tickets.
