Greedy touts must play fair with fans

I can’t believe that people think it’s OK to actively stop fans buying tickets by using computeromputer software and nabbing them.

Tout Andrew Newmann has made £3.45million n getting there first . Between that and alleged d collusion with the bigg ticketing firms, you get a good old-fashioned stitch h up, which works becausee folk are desperate and daft enough at times. David Baird, Edinburgh It’s immoral and should be illegal. Touts are scum. A simple solution is to make it law that no ticket can be resold for over the face value plus postage.
