This article is refreshing. It's made a big difference to the touting and I think that more artists/bands should enforce things like this. Although, there are times when you genuinely can't go to a gig any more and wish to sell on your tickets (I've done this in the past) so there would need to be some sort of system I think...

GETTING THE RIGHT HANDS ON OUR TICKETS (AT THE RIGHT PRICE!)

In November 2010 when tickets went on sale eight months in advance for Maiden’s 10 date 2011 Summer UK arena tour, 6,294 tickets appeared overnight on three of the biggest secondary ticketing platforms (Viagogo, Seatwave, Getmein) compared with just 207 tickets in 2016, all of which were listed only on Viagogo. With secondary ticketing much more developed now, the difference is probably much greater.
