Tickets will also be limited to four per person per show and the band will be utilising a customer support team to deal with any issues from fans with legitimate problems.

Other measures include 'setting conditions of purchase' so that tickets are not for resale and ensuring to the best of their abilities that ‘secondary ticketing sites are prevented from listing our shows and to invalidate tickets should any appear on these secondary sites.’"
Working with Ticketmaster eh?

Aren't they the biggest scalpers out there? Massive booking fees and postage charges. Except in this case if there aren't postage charges the booking fees will be astronomical.
