Fair enough some folk will deal in rare records as a business too, but then I guess people buying it will see it as a collector's item and all that jazz. You've got it forever, whereas festival ticket is only of any use to you once. Memories last forever but nae quite the same.
Totally see your point, but I think it is a bitty different. |
But even someone selling tickets for an inflated price as a one off, (i.e.not something they do regularly, but they have tickets to an event they genuinely can't go to and see an oppertunity to make a profit) will get slated for doing so, rather than regular touts who make their living from it, who are a completely different carton of eggs I feel.
