500 quid? wow, talk about stronging it

especially as we all know, there's quite a big chance that more tickets at the normal price will come out

UNLESS festival republic have given the remaining tickets to their 'partners' at Viagoo   to sell at hugely marked up prices, to make them a nice quick buck!




87 quid handling on 2 tickets costring 235 each>? want it all dont they, want to charge a massive markup for tickets and an outrageous handling fee!

Amazingly if you sell a ticket on viagogo at face value, the person buying it is actually spending about £250 per ticket.

This is my biggest gripe.

If their line was "Until touting is made illegal, we can't stop it. In the meantime we're simply making it safer, and making sure some of that money at least makes its way back to the music industry. If you want to sell a ticket you can no longer use at face value, we'll make it cheap and easy to do so" then while I'd still call them moneygrabbing bastards, they would have a legitimate comeback.
