The whole ticketing allocation system needs to be investigated and regulated , as you said , so many tickets are unavailable to the general public , but they are available at an inflated price from the independent ticket selling offices in the West End , you know the one, down Shaftesbury Avenue with the sign out side saying "Bon Jovi tickets available, first 10 rows" , and the assistant behind the counter is a pseudo posh speaking middle aged blond highlighted hair lady with lots of small but expensive jewellery who "must make a phone call" when you enquire about tickets.
And the selling tickets by post needs to be looked into , most charge an extortionate £7 add ons to sell you a ticket .

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.

Mate, they're all going to touts these days…their lives are so easy now with ebay instead of the traditional tout route of making assholes of them selves outside gigs..

I suspect many of these tickets went to either a) touts, b) sons or daughters of old punks ... plus the old die-hards ... and tourists ...

Its odd that so many people are wiling to pay £37.50 for one evening, but are so hesitant about paying £30 for two whole days at the Feeding of the 5000 gig , and I imaging that the clientele will be the same at both gigs .
