Absolutely spot on. It should be made perfectly clear that this problem has come about not because of a few people selling their unwanted tickets, but because ticket touting has been allowed to grow into a "home" based industry. Everyone now has the ability to become a tout and inevitably many greedy individuals have sought to make a living out of genuine music fans. GIGS SHOULD NOT SELL OUT IN MINUTES! They only do so because ticket agents are swamped with people who buy tickets when they have absolutely no intention of attending the gigs themselves, THEY ARE ONLY OUT TO MAKE A (VERY HANDSOME!!) PROFIT! Changes to the law are the only way of stopping this. Call for such changes and for such changes to be harshly enforced (as they are with football tickets) and everyone will have a fair chance of seeing their favourite bands.
