Touts found guilty - made 7 million pounds reselling tickets

Two of the UK’s most prolific ticket touts, Peter Hunter (51) and David Smith (66)- trading as Ticket Wiz and BZZ, have been found guilty of fraud - they used software to harvest tickets and resell them for profit, Daily Mail reports. Hunter and Smith used multiple identifies and bots to buy £4m worth of tickets to events including gigs by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift as well as West End shows such as 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'. The pair sold them on secondary ticketing websites for £10.8m. Ed Sheeran's manager Stuart Camp gave evidence in December when he told the jury he had spotted £75 seats for a charity gig on sale for £7,000.
