The trouble is that most of the scalping is done by ticketmaster, getmein etc. Before they ever get into the hands of a traditional tout outside ths venue

I'm sure it was a typo but you missed out Viagogo (excuse my bad language!)

It's been declared illegal? Great. I guess that means no one will ever do it again.

Just took a look at the Act.
Note 9(1)(b)
9—Ticket scalping
(1) A person must not, without the written approval of the event organiser for a major event to which this section is declared to apply—
(a) in a controlled area for the event—sell or offer for sale a ticket for admission to the event; or
(b)- in any other case, sell or offer for sale a ticket for admission to the event at a price which exceeds the original ticket price by more than 10%.
Does "in any other case" apply to Viagogo etc or ebay sales of tickets?
Highest price for a premium ticket tonight on Viagogo is $13500 USD.
They did come back after 2-3 days and refunded tickets for which I made mistakingly a double booking due to creditcardproblems. I think you should call them. Everytime I called them (it took hours to get someone on the phone) they were finally pretty helpful.Quote

I have a ticket for this show but due to a personal commitment that has come through (bloody weddings) I will not be able to come to Australia (i'm in Macau thank goodness though). I tried emailing Ticktek (twice) but have received no reply, only automated. I don't think I can get a refund (would be nice if I could) but I have asked them for them to let my ticket be sold to another Stones fan. I have a feeling though that I will get no reply and the seat will remain empty for the gig
