There are plenty of tout tickets still available to see them next in the UK... in a beautiful church in london instead, with Jo Whiley from the BBC too!
80 tickets on Seatwave, 110 on Viagogo, 18 on Ebay, 68 on Getmein, though the advertised Ticketmaster 'sold out' at 9am on the day they went on sale. So take your pick of the tout sites...all you need now is lots of money ...so that counts me out Smile

Heres hoping the touts give even a small percentage to the Mencap Charity of their personal profit from fans who continue to buy secondary tickets from these tout condoning sites.

More exposure of the touts in bed with the music promoters.

An investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches last night claimed that gigs for bands were being allocated by promoters to the site where fans think they are buying from other fans.

Going undercover journalists secretly filmed workers at Viagogo, one of the UK’s biggest ticket re-selling sites.

It is alleged that staff at the website compete directly with real fans to snap up tickets from ‘primary’ ticket sellers like Ticketmaster as soon as they are up for sale.

An application for an injunction was brought by Viagogo on the grounds of 'breach of confidence' and it was dismissed on all counts at the High Court.

Listen below to two interviews as Adrian Larkin gets reaction from Ed Parkinson, Director at Viagogo UK and MP Sharon Hodgson.

Will the Government listen as Sharon Hodgson MP campaigns for a private members bill to put a cap on the amount tickets can be sold for?.
