[kj] Pistols in London

[Brian Whitehead]

I bumped into a guy who was a senior engineer, who earned a fair bit, who I
had worked with a number of years ago.
To my astonishment he is now part of an of a big organised touting ring in
Manchester earning more now than he did as an engineer.
He explained how they got the tickets in the first place, most have gone out
the back door before they go on general sale.
A lot are reserved for corporate organisations which, surprise surprise, end
up going to organised touts.

Brian.
