@Bipolarbear_au @brianhhawthorne @andyhersh@timminchin And then you have the people who aren’t armchair touts but are genuine fans who buy a couple extra to sell so they can attend for “free”.
@Bipolarbear_au @brianhhawthorne @andyhersh@timminchin Armchair touts are highly organised and access most presales factoring in membership costs into ticket sale prices. They can usually buy 4 tickets per account per venue then more in the general sale.
@Bipolarbear_au @brianhhawthorne @andyhersh@timminchin I am not convinced that happens any more but I have no evidence either way. They take huge fees from buyers and sellers and make money both ways so why gamble on tickets that may not sell.
