So true.
The disgusting element of this, is that ordinary bona fide boxing/sports/theater goers of average means, are being deprived of seats for venues by the practice.
As WaterHog says, it is beyond all doubt that the ticket issuers are "in on this" because there are numerous examples of tickets being allocated in certain ways that facilitate the touts securing huge numbers to the detriment of the General Public.
Banning 'Ticket Touting' may well prove to be an impotent gesture but it is - at least - a token step in the right direction.
