TICKET TOUTS SCALPERS
57
Ticket touts
scalpers shouting
'Any spare tickets, any spare tickets.'
marching around
up and down
looking for punters
to buy and to sell.
Quick profit merchants
in saggy baggy clothes
looking like
they have no homes
pacing up and down
shouting out
approaching passer by
'Selling tickets'
asking people
who move away
from this shady looking creep
who never stopped
just moved on.
Odd way to make a living
buying tickets
then up the prices
trying to sell them.
Voice calls out from in the cue
to wind them up
'Just released 200 more tickets'
touts and scalpers
not amused
move away
message heard
but they stay around
irritating men
like flies around a piece of food
they will stay
until its dead and gone,
touts and scalpers
relics of history
have a trade
that lingers on
no matter what the law
decides is wrong.

Outside The Albert Hall I saw and heard about 4, reminded me of Del boy, one even had a cloth cap. They were buying £64 tickets for £35 of silly punters. Hope they sold none greedy spongers.
