Oh yes, I am aware, but giving examples is a one of the persuasive techniques you need to get in, along with rhetorical question!

I am brainwashing them! It was quite fitting actually as two of them wanted to go, but only one got tickets. Poor lamb! I gave her stern warnings about buying from touts.

Probably. Have just used his name for an email address though and sent my revised letter that my class worked on with me today when doing writing to persuade... Dear Sir or Madam, Ticket touting is unprincipled, dishonest, and corrupt. Touts are a scourge on our society: shouldn’t we take action against these scoundrels? Touts employ despicable measures to fraudulently gain tickets; this prevents true fans from obtaining these tickets, and thus forces the dedicated, genuine fans to pay the fiends’ ridiculously inflated prices. This is wrong. Although I have always been lucky enough to obtain the tickets I have required, I know that this is not the case for many other unfortunate enthusiasts; desperation then forces these disappointed and deflated victims to play into these charlatans' hands. Therefore, as the most popular and successful company involved in such sales, you should make a stand against this by banning such sales from your site. Allowing these sales is unethical, unprincipled, and morally reprehensible. Furthermore, I find it confusing that tickets for certain events (such as the Princess Diana Memorial Concert and all football matches) are banned on your site, whilst others are not. Shouldn’t all events be treated equally? I urge you to take action against these scheming, exploiting, and, frankly, disgusting members of our society by removing all listings selling tickets at inflated prices – it is the honourable thing to do.

True, but let's bombard the fuckers. At least it will piss them off a bit!

Well, that is a really stupid answer! Surely, when anyone buys anything it is by their own choice - we are not suggesting that touts literally have a gun to their heads (although metaphorically this could be argued!). They appear to have missed the point entirely!
-
Probably, made me feel better anyway! Everyone should complain to them. Let's see how much we can piss them off!

I have just written the following complaint to Ebay... Dear Ebay, I wish to complain about you allowing ticket touts to sell overpriced tickets to music events on Ebay. Touts employ despicable measures to gain these tickets, preventing fans from doing so in the process, and thus forcing them to pay their ridiculously inflated prices. I have always been lucky enough to obtain the ticktes I have required, but I know that this is not the case for many other unfortunate fans. Desperation then forces these disappointed and deflated victims to play into these charlatans' hands. As the most popular and successful company involved in such sales, I believe you should make a stand against this by banning such sales from your site. Allowing these sales is unethical and morally reprehensible. I find it confusing that tickets for certain events are banned, whilst others are not. All events should be treated equally. I urge you to take action against these scheming, exploiting, and, frankly, disgusting members of society by removing all listings selling tickets at inflated prices. I do love to compose a good letter of complaint:LOL:!
