I think that's the only (and I mean ONLY) way I would ever give money to a tout. But only if I really thought they'd lost a lot of money. That said, I can't imagine being anywhere near a gig I didn't have a ticket for, so it's an unlikerly scenario I suppose.

Well its only a bus ride for me into Brum so I've chanced it a few times and paid between 5 and 15 quid, tickets are usually £25 plus so they loose out, if they offered me one at full ticket price or above I would get on the bus and come home.

I ended up getting tickets on ebay (for not much more than face value) a couple of years ago, but I still resent it. I definitely wouldn't pay a tout for this gig, it's just obscene.

Was it a kind of dream,
Selling out on the web Waking up for the 9 AM sale Oh, was it a dream? There's a good chance that you'll get one If you're logged on and have cash These things sell out usually in a week or two So you'll be OK Oh yes, you'll be OK Tout eyes Touting like fire Tout eyes How can you sleep at night? How can a gig that sold so cheaply, suddenly turn so rare? Tout eyes We didn't see what was coming The touts gave us a good bumming They snapped up the tix before we knew what was what We were left with nought Sure a few others will get to go Groupies and LoveSean4Ever But nobody else will get to see How hard could it be? How hard should it be... Tout eyes Touting like fire Tout eyes How can you sleep at night? How can a gig that sold so cheaply, suddenly turn so rare? Tout eyes

haha! that delightful chap who was selling his tickets for £499 has now reduced his price to £249 now - that makes me laugh! it does mean that his generous 10% going to the red cross is significantly reduced too though.

The best thing I saw with regards to touts, was back in '04, when a tout was selling Babyshambles tickets and he asked the guitarist in Babyshambles, if he wanted a ticket. To his own gig!
