These touts made millions - and claimed staff at big ticketing firms helped

This BBC News investigation reveals how UK ticket touts like Peter Hunter and Maria Chenery-Woods made millions by reselling tickets at inflated prices, with possible collusion from major ticketing companies like Ticketmaster. Touts used fraudulent practices to bypass ticket purchase limits and made substantial profits through resale sites like StubHub and GetMeIn!. Former ticketing staff revealed close relationships with touts, offering incentives and developing software to aid in bulk ticket sales. Ticketmaster denied direct involvement and closed its resale sites in 2018, implementing price caps on resales, but concerns over industry transparency and collusion remain.
