Welcome to Oust The Tout
Oust The Tout.com has been set up as a ticketing agency and information resource in response to the horrendous amount of touting that is occurring in the music industry today.
We believe that the artist should be paid a just fee for their talents whist true fans can support their favourite bands without having to pay into the pension fund of some unscrupulous bandits who buy tickets with the sole intention of making money.
THIS PRACTISE NEEDS TO BE STAMPED OUT NOW!
Bodies like the Music Managers Forum and Resale Rights Society are actively lobbying the government to pass new laws on this international problem but this is going to take some time.
YOU have the chance to make a difference in the industry NOW by supporting Oust The Tout.com as we work with Bands, Promoters, Venues and Fans to provide a ticketing service where refunds are available and paper tickets have been eradicated. This is just the first of may stages to stop shysters from taking any more money out of true music lover’s pockets.
There will also be a wealth of information on the touting industry and what steps you can take if you have been duped or defrauded.
If you're on MySpace please add yourself as a friend.

Me Club
The Gary Stewart Band
Ray Gun & The Adjitators
Don't you just hate it when there's three brilliant gigs on, on the same night?
Me Club is holding it's monthly gig over at Baker Street tonight with some amazing acoustic sets. Previously Martin and Lizzie have had the likes of Adele and Francis "Egg" White playing. It's always a good evening and amazing food at this funky venue.
The Gary Stewart Band are heading down to London for one night only from their base in Leeds. If there's one band you can't miss it's these guys and gals.
As always the showman that is Ray from Ray Gun will be at 93 Feet East with the band for your audio and visual pleasure. Recently signed to RCA these guys are going to be hitting the UK charts with vengeance soon. This may well be one of the last times you see RGATA at a small venue.
With three amazing gigs in one night we wish we could beam ourselves to all of them.
