thats your choice. But to say people who are desperate enough to see a gig that they finally resort to touts are not fans is a hurtful statement to many muse fans. or fans of any band really. there has to be a better answer than not going to gigs, whats the point of being a fan if you cannot go to gigs??? the fans outnumber the touts by a large margin. why not make a pettition. hell if we got enough larger fan sites of other band sin on the act it could snowball into a uk wide petiton to the governement. resale for prices above retail should be illegal. it benifits only the touts. no one else. there is no negative effect for anyone else is there. so why not make it illegal? whats stopping the government. this is a rant, i actally haven't thought it through 100%, if you can see and holes or flaws please point them out. maybe we could ammend them.

The buyer alone cannot prevent touting. its up to ticket providers with the support of the buyers. I'd say making resale of ticket above retail illegal would be a start. resale should only occur on registered sites and for retail prices. another idea would be to make each ticket unique by placing names and addresses on them. the only counter arguement would be that this prevents people getting in quickly when doors open, but if venues dedicated a large team of emploies to check que before doors open this should make the process alot more swift, as lots of people que early for good spots in the crowd. there are plenty of holes in this system buy i think i better than allowing touts to continue. ticket providers arn't bothered by the scandal, they still get their sold out concerts and all their money.
