I've said countless times on here, it's very easy to severely restrict touts. And don't believe the stupid prices the papers report, they've probably listed the tickets to spice up the story.

Something on the news this morning. something about online ticket software is now illegal to buy multitude of tickets?

On a slightly different note, there's always a load of touts near brixton academy, and they really are the scum of the earth, vile, racist, aggressive pudenda, seen them beating someone up for trying to sell their ticket direct to someone, and racially abusing shopkeepers. All ex football hooligan types, coked up to the bollocks nasty pudenda. I've never understood why they aren't prosecuted, in my 46 years in London, I've never once seen the police so much as question them.

Racist in Brixton are you sure? I know it's getting gentrified but you don't get away with being racist in places like brixton in the smallish numbers the touts are in. A fair number on my visits are black/mixed race anyway. They're always there granted but I'be never experienced them doing anything much more than offering the tickets, very surprised that they'd have given people racist abuse particularly with where they are.

All well and good stopping the bots but someone will always find a way around it.

Easier solution, make it illegal to sell a ticket for more than its original total cost (booking fee and face value), and if that is deemed as unfair as people have incurred a cost, put a cap on it as maybe face value + 10%.

That will immediately end the charade.

You can be racist to other ethnic groups too you know. I watched them openly abusing some woman in a shop calling her saddam. She was Pakistani.

I don't know about racist but the touts in Brixton are nasty fuckers.

I have been the academy there a few times to see bands and coming up the steps from the underground they literally bully some people. I saw a young couple getting asked if they had any spares and when they said , no sorry mate they started abusing the poor lads bird asking what he was going to do about it. Proper scum bags

Yeah, they really are horrible fornicating pudenda. I'd like to take a baseball bat to some of the pudenda, but you know you'd get absolutely mullered, they're a firm, and they will definitely be tooled up.

Oh yeah, they would deffo be tooled up. There is this one horrible old cuntt I have seen there a couple of times, vile looking bloke and is always in ya face as soon as you come up those steps from the underground.

They hang around by the cash points there to, proper intimidating people who are taking cash out.

I live in Cheltenham and there is loads of touts here for the races, they arrive early next week and I have bought from them a few times and never had any problems. Most are smartly dressed and respectful .

I don't have a problem with touts that work the street buying cheap and selling just over face, I have respect for them if anything.

Its the stub hub numptys who buy tickets and sell online for 10x face and then make out they are Reggie Kray
