Paulywaul, thanks so much for the info.
In the USA Ticketmaster does the same thing.
I have flown over for Clapton shows @ the RAH in 2001, 2004, 2006 and Cream 2005. Sometimes I have bought tickets in advance for those shows and sometimes just scalped because there are always tickets around.
Have a girlfriend in towe on this trip in August and it is always harder to scalp with her standing around. So I thought it best to get tickets in advance if I could. The other thing is if I don't get tickets in advance for the Stones this girl will have me attending every theater, play, performance, artsy stuff that there is in London for a week and there would be no Stones show for me
