Good question, and apart from anything else, here's a quote from Harvey himself on the subject of ticket reselling: this is from the BBC article
Tickets for the show will be allocated by public ballot - a move promoter Harvey Goldsmith hopes will deter touts.
"We just hope and pray that those people who get a ticket in a ballot are just going to act accordingly," he said
Goldsmith also warned fans who turned to internet auction sites like eBay or other unauthorised sources that they would have their tickets cancelled.
"They might have paid the money but they ain't going to get the ticket," he said.
Love that last line, but here you go ... here's an "agency" claiming to have an "allocation" of tix to sell. WTF ?????????????
