If you don't like their antics why fund them?

Paying over the odds will only mean they will do it more and more.

Become a member of see, ticketmaster, theO2, livenation and any local places you go to and sign up for the newsletter, it's the only way of getting tickets I've found (that said knowing a ticketmaster employee helps me too)

It's a bitter pill to swallow but if you don't buy them from a tout and a tout doesn't sell them he won't be able to do that for long before needing a proper job, although that said, I think every ticket bar VIP ones etc etc should be assigned to a name when purchased, you know who you are going with when ordering, or even if it says Joe Bloggs + 1.

Sorry to be harsh but don't rant about something you could have avoided.
