So basically you didn't get tickets and you're beefing about it.

I got 4 tickets.

We'll probably look for tickets nearer the time. If we can get them at a reasonable price we'll go, if not we won't. Previous posters, in particular resident nob head Lord God Jose Mourinho saying there are tickets available are correct, it's just that there's only 1 day of the whole schedule we can all make and we need 3 together.

I'm merely pointing out that a company who sell tickets in the first instance have a sister company who then resell said tickets for a massively inflated price on behalf of the buyer (in most cases touts) minutes after they have sold. Surely even the most moronic person can see that this system is immoral and open to abuse? My big question is, do Ticketmaster sell tickets through GETMEIN for some of the high profile events without even offering them at face value first?

A mate of mine tried to get tickets recently for Carfest 2015. He was trying from the first second they went on sale but didn't manage to get them. It sold out in about 10 minutes but GETMEIN had hundreds available within minutes of it selling out at double, even triple the price.

Comedy is subjective
What the underlying fact is in this thread is people will pay whatever they feel is value, also subjective

Doesn't matter what the show/event is, it's irrelevant to the argument.
I'm quite happy to pay £40 to see Mrs Browns Boys. I wouldn't pay £100, but some people would, and I'll sell at that price

There was a high profile issue in the USA a few years ago where Ticketmaster redirected buyers, for Bruce Springsteen tickets, straight to a resale site despite tickets being still available at face value.

It won't change a thing in fact it will push more sellers to totally unregulated sites like the eBay owned Gumtree, and craigslist.

Good old craigslist - ebay for burglars

Yeah, I'm sure people will be queueing up to buy tickets from Craigslist. The only stories I've seen in the news about Craigslist are of 'meet ups' gone wrong that have ended in attacks and murders!
