Let’s be fair, ticket touting is one of the most frustrating aspects of being a music fan. You could spend hours in front of your computer, getting ready to buy tickets to an upcoming gig, only to see that touts have beaten you to the punch, and have listed those same tickets for three times the price on resale sites.
One of the most recent artists to come out against this holy unfair practice is Vance Joy. As reported a couple of days ago, Vance Joy has partnered up with ticket resale service Twickets to ensure that those who wish to purchase or sell tickets to his upcoming concerts don’t get ripped off, or manage to rip anyone else off. It is a much-needed approach to ticket sales in Australia and definitely should be practised here in the UK, and here’s hoping that Vance Joy’s involvement in the service leads to most, if not all, musicians supporting a platform like this, crushing those awful scalpers in the process.
