At the time of writing, tickets on ebay for the sold out V festival are going for just over half the amount of face value and similarly tickets for the Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals are also available with huge discounts.
It makes us wonder if all the fuss about touting is just a storm in a teacup? With tickets now being bought for less than face value, the touts are actually losing money.
So why not get one over on the touts by taking a ticket off their hands for less than face value and enjoy a festival on the cheap?
