    Its ******* criminal the way that tickets can go on sale at 9am for c. £50 and be on a supposed 'legal and safe' website for £200 by 9:03am.

    Especially considering the sites selling them at £200 have adverts all over the tube in London. It should be classed as illegal and these sites should be closed down.

    Get yourself following Twickets on Twitter. Face value or less fan to fan ticket site. I've sold and bought numerous tickets for sold out shows without having to pay (or charge) a penny more than it would have cost anyway, just because genuine fans can't make it.

    If people buy from touts, they've only got themselves to blame for what happens. Very basic supply and demand

    I know its a fecking joke, Got in off nights at 7am, had a couple of hours sleep, then sat refreshing screen for a hour. while people already selling them for more than double the price. Then when you get to gig theres blokes walking rounds with wads of tickets.

    There should be a fairer way to purchase tickets without these nobs making a living out of scamming every one

    Be cheaper to invent a time machine, go back to autumn 88 and follow the tour. There'd just be you and a bloke with a dog for the first few dates outside Manchester, but as 89 progressed you'd be able to sell your tickets for the price of a house.

    I'm no expert, but is your logic flawed somewhere?

    Was only 13 in 89, I was mad on the indie scene but a little bit young for gigs and my dad despised it. Some of his younger mates offered to take me to that gig at Ellend road with the Happy Monday's, farm and la's I think about 1990 but he wasn't having any of it. I sulked for weeks lol.

    think I'd have to go there if I went back in time

    You could easily buy the tickets at face value when they went on sale. You could have bought the whole lot if you wanted. It was usually less than a fiver back then for the kind of venues they were playing. Actually, most places couldn't give them away. But then the NME and Melody Maker picked up on them, they started getting radio play and became huge. But this was after the tour had been announced and after tickets had gone on sale. The were playing **** holes like The Rio in Bradford and small Unis like Aberystwyth, when their popularity was such that they could have sold out football stadiums. Take your time machine back to a point before anyone had heard of them but after the tickets went on sale and you can see them all you want and make a mint selling extras.

    ...If this is the logic you believe is flawed. If it's that time travel is impossible, then it's a fair cop (despite what some theoretical physicists will have you believe).

    Got tickets easy enough luckily they can actually play these days. Gigs in the late 80s were usually pretty appalling. I went to Spike Island and remember telling my mate it was one of the shitest gigs I've ever been to. Livened up by flogging **** loads of Junior Disprins for 8 quid a pop to placcy mancs who thought they were summat different.

    Spike Island was poor, but Empress Ballroom, as one example, was mint.
