and all without the help of “touts”…Funny that, said it all along, they make no difference whatsoever to what official promoters and artists want to charge. They are the touts and they are the ones that have increased prices for fans. Even with inflation tickets for this show would have been £40 five years ago. Most people would have got their tickets for that and those who didn’t manage that would have gone secondary and paid £75. So now we are at the point of paying both of those prices added together for our entry ticket. Whoever is deciding the direction of travel for ticketing needs to give their heads a wobble especially if you think capping ticket resale resolves any part of this issue @lisanandy @andyburnham @IanMurrayMP @Steph_Peacock @vickyfoxcroft

We concur

Anyone else think the excellent new @fontainesdublin album traverses them from the realm of @joydivision into @neworder land?

So do we.

We stopped liaising with anti tout group campaigners long ago because we found evidence that they were corrupt. They are disguised as helping the fans but when you look at that side of the industry, fans must surely be asking questions as to why ticket buying is like it is. Gouge pricing, surge pricing, drip feeding and yet even with touts blocked out of specific events it makes no difference to fans, like in Ireland where secondary ticketing is outlawed. Is it suddenly very cheap to go to events over there, it most certainly is not. Shockingly to us @raye knew what a “scalper” was. This typically American term being used by a Croydon lass was in particularly disingenuous. It is like the propaganda peddled by much of the mainstream media now which is government controlled, you cannot believe a word of it anymore. Sadly this is the world we live in today, a low trust society and buying tickets typifies that, and it comes from the root and branch structure of the official ticketing market. You thought Manchester City was bad, well imagine an independent investigation into the primary ticketing market and it will make that seem like the snowflake before an avalanche.

Rumour has it that the @raye ticketing debacle was all orchestrated by the promoters so that they can gauge demand and pricing for an upcoming stadium tour announcement. All organised with anti ticket touting groups who were engaged quicker than a Usain Bolt 100 metre sprint getting them on the news channels to blow it all out of proportion. You would never bet against all that with this evil cabal of rich greedy promoters that operate at the top of the industry. It is so easy to avoid these incidents happening, you got to ask yourself how and why?!

Good luck @raye with going through those registrations manually but the problem is going to be that they are all unique because that’s how bots work. They get round all systems through having unique details for every single account. #stopthebots

First time we have ever seen this - #stopthebots - Poor @RoyalAlbertHall and @raye . These sneaker kids acting illegally are really compounding the organic AI bot traffic tenfold.
