Ticket Touts

The number of tickets being sold for the "sold out" Arcade Fire gigs is astonishing. People on eBay are selling tickets that had a face value of £17 for at least three times that amount, and frankly, I can't understand how they get away with it. It's blatantly obvious that these people are touts, you only have to look at their feedback, and yet they aren't being punished for it at all.

In some ways, eBay is a great socialist tool, whereby things are sold based on their value to others.

On the other hand it brings out such greed
in people that it makes me despair.
