When is a tout not a tout?

Posted at 10:19pm on Wednesday, March 28th, 2007 by

Monty just sent me this link from this year’s Isle of Wight Festival blog:

100 tickets will be on the Ticketmaster website at 9am tomorrow to be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder. We are aware that a lot people haven’t been able to purchase tickets as we sold out so quickly. We are able to sell another 100 tickets, rather than putting them on sale in the normal way and them end up in the hands of touts, we decided this was the fairest way to do it.

…rather than putting them in the hands of touts…we thought we’d just act like touts ourselves…
