Talk:Ticket resale

message: I always thought a tout was someone who hung around heavily touristed sites, attempting to make money in one way or the other (usually as a guide) from tourists. Not sure whether to include it in this article or spin off a second one. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I went ahead and added a section ("Other meanings") about the other type of tout. Actually, I think the first sentence I put in that section could be moved to the top of the article, as it seems to encompass all the various kinds of touts. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 05:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that, following the page move, the more generic meaning is now at the tout article. However, that article's talk page was redirected here, which I have undone. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "the money paid to the organisers is actually paid for the service of attending the event; a buyer cannot resell this because, since it is the organiser (not the buyer) providing the service, the buyer does not have it to sell. The ticket is not a trade good in its own right, but merely a token used to facilitate the process of selling the service; typically selling it on will contravene the original conditions of sale."
The obvious defense or defence is that the original purchaser was buying the tickets on behalf of another person who intended to attend the event. Otherwise, it would be prohibited for a person to buy tickets for other members of the person's family. How have courts interpreted this? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 22:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Companies are obviously abusing the external links section. I don't know what is and isn't spam, so I will just take out the one here and any others which have evidence which suggests spam--91.84.84.234 (talk) 11:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there really any difference between this and what people do on eBay all the time? They buy up all of a type of collectible or, like, the Wii, and resell them on eBay because scarcity makes it possible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about other things? 

message: Event organizers could prevent re-selling simply by issuing tickets to a specific holder and require identification upon entering, just as done as airline tickets. This would eliminate, to a great extent, the possibility of re-selling tickets without the need for legislation or expensive enforcement. Why hasn't it been done on a regular basis? I heard rumors that it has  been done in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and the 2008 Summer Olympics, but couldn't find any concrete evidence.
