touts getting scalped

fancy a festival on the cheap?

By Scott Johnson | Published:

Getting one over on the touts has never been quite as easy as this. Prices for festival tickets on the online auction site ebay have dropped well below face value.

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?
