Why are gig tickets getting more expensive? Toutless on fees, fraud and Ticketmaster (

Ireland's face-value ticket forum Toutless reopens to the public on Monday August 3rd after a scam attack forced it to shut its doors to the public. Toutless co-founder Gary Devitt is this week's guest on the podcast, and we talk about where the Irish music live ticketing industry is at in the face of increased pricing, extra deluxe and platinum tiers and an Americanisation of buying tickets. It's becoming a concert caste system. Toutless' face-value fan-to-fan resale is a fundamentally different worldview to what is developing in the industry.
