The Introduction

Well, this is the first blog I’ve written. This is basically to rant and rave about something that is getting to me, and keep people I know up-to-date with what is happening.

Initially, I’d like to sing the praises of a certain website called Scarlet Mist

This site is more than simply selling tickets, it is by far the most sensible idea in the battle against ticket touts. The idea is that people who want tickets to a certain concert are set up with people who have spare/unwanted tickets to that certain concert, and they are exchanged via face value. No ebay fees, no fuss, just putting supply in contact with the demand. It’s free to use and relatively simple, you don’t even have to sign up. Just leave contact details, and if somebody wants the ticket, they express their interest and the website exchanges the contact details so you can organise how the switch will go down - meeting on a street corner or via the dreaded Royal Mail.

Surely this is much more sensible than banning the on-sale of concert tickets via Ebay and other such channels? Often it is because of an unforseeable event that tickets go spare, and if you don’t want to lose out on money, the most popular and well-known avenue to go down is Ebay, which of course is plagued by people looking for their profit. Scarlet Mist is offering a safe place and an honest place to get tickets for a reasonable price. I fully support them!
