After writing / ranting about this on goodness knows
how many occasions it’s depressing that, if anything, the secondary ticket
market (aka bulk buying tickets to gigs, shows and sporting events to prevent
real fans from buying them then ramping up the price by whatever figure you
think you can get away with and flogging them to people with more money than
sense) seems to be flourishing. In the latest round of insanity someone’s trying
to sell Radiohead tickets for almost £6,000, or a mind melting 91 times its
original face value. I guess if people are mad enough to pay it the touts (most
of which are massive companies now) will just carry on regardless. Still, it
gives me a good reason to stick up a ruddy great track from The Wonderstuff so
silver linings and all that jazz.
