    I know it's a board for selling stuff but Jebus. He's practically holding a full blown ticket tout auction over there.
    And after someone offered him a £100 he went on to ask for higher bids! jesus as if he wasn't ripping the guy off enough...

    I hate touts myself but there IS the argument that goes "if people are stupid enough to pay £100 a ticket (or more) then why not do it?"

    Anyway... why are you pointing it out? What exactly would you like to see done about "surge"? - He's not the only one selling tickets on the For Sale board y'know...

    I have a vague feeling that these postings will stop in a few days. Call me crazy.

    And as to why you are complaining about someone selling something on the for sale board and trying to make as much money as they can.. your right, it's absolutely stupid.

    Touting is bad. If you bought the ticket with the intent to use it and are now selling it, but it sucks to not be able to get a ticket at cost price price because come **** bought them to resell them.

    Btw, I don't think he's touting a large number of tickets, he just spammed a lot of boards and they moved him there.
