The Never Ending Pool

A few weeks ago I got an excited phone call from a fellow Dylan fan.
"Bob's playing two shows in Glasgow,I'd love to go see him play live again, it could be our last chance"
Great I said, I'll go online the morning the tickets go on sale and get tickets for both nights.
Woohoo Bob Dylan is playing live just a half hour away from where I live.
The morning the tickets went on sale I had just finished a nightshift, I had a couple of hours sleep and went online to get 4 tickets, two for each show. It was around 9.30am tickets had been on sale for a half hour and much to my dismay they had all sold out. Surely that cant be correct so I did a few online searches and found loads of tickets for the 2 Glasgow shows only problem is a £65 ticket is now being scalped for ..... £360 .... Yip you read that right ... THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS !
What ever happened to the scalping laws that were supposed to protect the people who want to go see a concert and should only pay the face value on the ticket.
I dont suppose Bob will be reading this but if you are and you look out from the stage in Glasgow and see a lot of empty seats its not that we Scots dont love you, we do and we always will, it's because we can't afford the prices these thieving b%&*ards are charging, and we refuse to be held to ransom.
If you have any input Bob ..... Stop these scalpers from stopping your fans from seeing you play live.
LOVE BOB HATE SCALPERS

Few weeks ago Ticketmaster was selling $150 Springsteen tickets for nearly $5000.The dynamic prizing algorhytm went a bit too enthousiastic. But it's clear there are no scalpers anymore. It's LiveNation (ticketmaster) being the scalper itself or they own/get paid by secondary ticketsellers.

Bankers have taken over.

Its the same for Hull & Nottingham although Glasgow was my 1st choice mo Bob for me again
