Reading And Leeds Festivals weekend tickets sell out

Only a few day tickets are left for 2009 event

Anyone selling on Viagogo at this stage is so obviously a tout - and Festival Republic are condoning the practise if they allow these tickets to stay on at this stage, and should get people to return them for a full refund.I'd understand if people are trying to sell tickets a month or less before the event because they can't make it, but then they should only be allowed to charge face value and the secondary agents such as Viagogo should be limited to a maximum handling fee by law, e.g. something like £15-£20, which could include insurance/local agent collection/signed delivery of tickets.Still, £175 for a camping weekend in the first place is a ridiculous amount. It doesn't even include drinks! (no complaints about the quality of Festival Republic events themselves)
