oh boy two pages of unread dialogue to wade through..Sorry..not right now : ) Brandy tonight, I'm on holiday.
Used to be that I'd go to a gig and if I could buy a ticket off a guy outside the venue I'd do that...It's promoting self employed independant business...others saw it as a bad thing..I never got that...I'd always support the independant outdoor seller...Outlaw seller if you will...very often I'd go to a gig and say to a tout 'look, when the bands already on will you give me a ticket for a tenner..we'll wait five minutes after the first rush?' And I really didn't care if i didn't get the ticket and that's the key...To be not attached...but anyway..they'd say 'sure bro'...I never got why old fashioned ticket touts were so hated. They were just guys not wanting to get money by working in supermakets or insurance..Just guys...we could have all supported them.
We didn't...People hated them, for God knows what reason I never I figured...and now...ha..get what you asked for people..just get what you asked for. Ticket touts are corporate bastards selling thousands of tickets to a sister company who sells it at a legal inflation and that we hated touts so god damn much makes this so much easier for them.
Support your local outlaw folk, your homenit outlaw - corporate culture will catch up on us.
