Perhaps Ticketmaster should just eBay all their tickets and cut out the middlemen. Heh. Where's your address? :-) It would be a pretty weird stock market that had a “use by” date on the shares ;-)

I always thought ticket touting was just supply and demand operating. I've never understood why people get so hot under the collar about it. I mean, the ticket sellers could try a bit harder to make it fair to the masses if they wanted to. Personally I've always wondered why the underprice their tickets. Not many other industries do this. So, if there's a demand for an item, there will be arbitrageurs. Can you imagine a stock market if this supply/demand thing didn't exist? So big deal, so people sometimes pay big prices to get tickets to gigs. So who is the victim in this? Maybe the Princess Diana charity should be a bit smarter in raising money, rather than hand it all over to the touts? (There, I've vented. I've waited years to do that. I feel so much better now. Now, where's my sex toy?) Cor blimey, guvnor. I always thought ticket touting was just supply and demand operating. I’ve never understood why people get so hot under the collar about it.
