Gig Economy: The Ticketing Business
File on 4 investigates the online ticketing market and discovers how touts are using increasingly sophisticated methods to get tickets which they sell-on for huge profits.
When the rock band Oasis announced they were reuniting, 10 million fans from all over the world joined the queue for tickets. It was the UK鈥檚 biggest ever concert launch. Tickets quickly sold out and within hours, many were being offered for sale on secondary ticketing sites at vastly inflated prices. File on 4 investigates the online ticketing market to discover who's ahead of you in the queue - and how they're getting there.
