Well actually my mate dropped them when we got out of the taxi and so took it upon herself to buy more tickets.
He must have f*cking pounced on them because we realised straight away and went over and searched for them.

hate ticket touts, but hate the measures some companies are going to to try and combat the problem

I think i seen a news story about some Tom Waits gig where you weren't allowed in unless you had proper ID saying you were the person who bought the ticket.

The ticket touts aren't the problem, its the people who will gladly pay over the odds.

Yup.

As someone else said, its all about supply and demand.

Although, at the same time, its easy enough to simulate limited supply by buying up a metric f*ckload of tickets. This will then drive people to the touts, since they can't legitimately pick them up, otherwise.

More and more places are using anti-tout measures now, and they're working (see Glastonbury for a good example). But lets be honest, the ticket companies have to implement that themselves, and they wont as long as all their tickets are selling.
