Monkeys vs. Touts: who will win?
crablin by Colin Roberts February 2nd, 2006

Popular beat combo Arctic Monkeys have declared jihad on ticket touts by limiting supplies of tickets for their forthcoming tour.

Following the almost immediate sell-out of the pre-sale tickets for their April tour, the Arctic Monkeys have made the following statement:

"We are very aware of the growing problem of ticket touts acquiring tickets and re selling them at vastly inflated cost through eBay and other auction sites. The sales of tickets will be monitored"

So basically, in person you can buy two tickets and via phone/interweb you can buy four. If you have more than three friends, then you'd better starting dumping some folk!

Tickets go onsale at 6pm tonight (2nd Feb) and you'll find the dates about 40 pixels below.

April
13 Nottingham Rock City
14 Glasgow Carling Academy
15 Newcastle Carling Academy
17 Bournemouth BIC
18 Plymouth Pavillions
19 Wolverhampton Civic
21 Newport Centre
22 Rotherham Magna Centre
23 Blackpool Empress Ballroom
25 Hull Ice Rink
26 Cambridge Corn Exchange
27 London Brixton Academy

DiScuss: How cute is Alex, the singer? Is anyone going? Can I come with you? Would this be better if the headline was 'Monkeys vs. Trouts'? Would that be grammatically correct?
