Bought tickets off a tout outside a gig?

How much more than face value do they normally want?

    No.
    Triple the usual price.
    I bought a ticket for £9.50 once and the touts were selling the same tickets for £35 outside.
    It's not worth it.

    I think I've got one at face value! All is good!

    Wouldn't be for a 19yr old C&W singer?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    If you wait nearer the start time you can haggle better as the touts will want to get rid of them. I went to see Roykskopp and bought 2 tickets off a tout, tickets should have been 12 quid but asked for 20, when I said we'd look for another tout he reduced it to 15.

    Seemed a good deal but one ticket had been ripped and cellotaped together, luckily the queues were massive so the tickets werent checked too scrupulously.

    I reckon 1 and quarter times original isnt too bad, especially if you really wanna see the band.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
