| | I don't think people should be allowed tout on the cluas board. It should be face price, swap or nothing. | | | |

| well, there is a note which says "Gig tickets cannot be offered for more than face value. Moderators will strictly enforce this rule."
obviously the mods must be getting a back-hander because thats been up now for over a day.

i hope the same policy applies to the guy who is looking for 100 quid for an REM ticket below right now. He says he got burnt on eBay but isnt this touting as well? | | | |

| I am not touting, i bought it for 100 quid and bought two other tickets for diff days, ended up with a spare...
now i am selling it for the same price i bought, 100% honestly, that is not touting, its called "not losing your b*ll*cks"..i amn't in to make a profit, just trying to shift a ticket that i dont need. seriously....
if i bought it for 50 quid i'd sell it for 50 quid. get a grip.
and i sold it this morning. happy days. I hate touts too. | | | |

I'm not the one who should be getting a grip.
A ticket tout is someone who engages in ticket resale for more than the face value of the ticket.
You were selling a ticket for an REM show at more than the face value of the ticket
That, in my view and that of a lot of other people, makes you a ticket tout. And it also makes cluas a very tout-friendly site | | | |

| GET A LIFE.....
I DIDNT BUY IT AT FACE, I OFFERED IT AT THE PRICE I BOUGHT IT FOR.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY SAYING IF YOU WERE IN THE SAME POSITION THAT YOU WOULD SELL IT FOR LESS THAN YOU PAID FOR IT BECAUSE OF TOUTING, THEN YOU’RE LYING OR YOU’RE AN IDIOT.
TOUTS DO IT TO MAKE A PROFIT WHICH IS A SCUMY THING TO DO. I DIDN’T SO MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR. DEAL IS DONE. TOUTS WHO SELL FOR PROFIT ARE SCUM. AND I'M BEGINNING TO THING THIS SITE HAS BEEN INVAIDED BY PINKOS...SALUT! | | | |

| "That, in my view and that of a lot of other people"
i think based on the majority of your posts you are a whinger and a moan who gives out about absolutely everything...you were calling me an adiot last week because i expressed an opinion. i replied and that seemed to shut you up.
i agree 100% that touting for profit is scum and i have nor would engage in such an activity. i merely paid over the odds for something that i ended up not needing so i offered it and it was purchased at said price. i broke even and someone got a ticket.
if i had bought it at face i'd have sold it at face no problem, i'd never do anyone out of a few bob for a ticket to something.
i have in the past given on free tickets that i recieved in a previous career to such events without so much as giving a second thought to selling them at all. | | | |

| ooooh, i seem to have hit a nerve with this tout.
if pointing out that you are a tout means getting called a "whinger" and a "moan" so be it.
I hope the cluas moderators will come onboard soon and make a ruling on this. i stand over my original post. | | | |

what do you want for that, a medal? it doesnt change the fact that you were touting by trying to sell tickets at above face value for a sold-out show | | | |

theres absolutely no difference between the touts who stand outside the Olympia (who knows, you may be one of them?) and people who act all "matey" on bulletin boards like this and then try to shaft people by touting spare tickets.
