    A tout in my mind is someone who regularly has insider access to "hard to get" tickets & sells them at a profit or who hangs around outside venues looking to buy & sell tickets.

    This was 1 young lad who had 1 ticket & sold it at the market value & I'd have prob done the same in his position.
    IMO selling for any less than market value when it was a gig as highly sought after as that doesnt make you sound, it makes you a fool

    Whether you would have done the same in his position or not doesn't change the fact that he touted his ticket.

    Agreed, how anyone can say that charging 6 times face value isn't touting is beyond me!

    I've ended up with spare tickets for hard to get into gigs, have always sold for face value, it's good karma and stops me feeding into the whole tout cycle which people on here just can't seem to grasp. Yes it means you will miss a gig, but I'm not going to keep the touting "industry" going.

    Why shouldn't Noel Gallagher just cut out the touts and charge €200 a ticket in the first place if people on here will pay it to a tout? That's where this could lead to.
