Well found out ELO are touring and happy as Larry I thought Mrs Iroc and I would go... @ 09.01 all sold out and yet, and yet viagogo, getmein or whatever else these fking sites call themselves full of tickets for sale. Absolute s - legal touting. Words fail me... or at least words that I can say in polite company frown

Yeah, amazing how so many people have bought a ticket and then within minutes realised that they can't go to the event rolleyes

Interestingly I was all ready to log on and stake my claim for a couple of tickets to Prince's upcoming shows at the end of November, but he mysteriously suspended ticket sales at the last minute and now appear to be waging a one-man crusade against ticket touts/"reseller" sites.

There's no way on earth that the official ticket channels aren't in on the whole sordid industry - s the lot of them.

O/T here but if you do manage to end up getting tickets go! I couldn't stand the fella but ended up at one of his gigs - amazing! Just blew me away

Went on to Ticketmaster this morning and tickets for ELO Liverpool were £250+. I thought "sod that, I'm not paying that". Called the Echo arena Liverpool tonight, got two tickets at £71.50 each. Ok, they're not together, but they are in the same block.
On Prince. Absolutely agree; he puts on a FANTASTIC show. Not to be missed.

Prince was conspicuously going through the motions when I saw him. The best thing about that gig was the Thieves in the Temple video they played before and after the show.
With regard to the OP, yes it's an absolute shocker. So much about modern life is intensely frustrating and, more than that, just WRONG.

Hate this. Wannabe Gordon Geckos and a system that allows them to rip the rest of us off.

Similar story. Logged on at 09:10 and all sort out bar VIP. Now means my friend who is a fan won't go as normal tickets are way overpriced. Even nosebleed seats are £120 plus.

Just paid 235 for two so called Platinum seating. Despite having no one to go with. I'll probably use the spare as a Christmas present for someone.
