For small arena shows I can understand to some extent what they are trying to accomplish here. But for stadium that barely sell out no way. This is punishing the many to go after the few and, it does not work. I got my Wembley tickets last year a few days before the event and still had time to tell the seated tickets (which I had replaced with GAs when they became available) on to other people before the event (albeit at cost price including delivery). If I had been a scalper I could still have sold them. But the point of these big stadium shows is people will not pay so much more than ticket price anyway because there is no need to (with the exception of one or two places like Coimbra).
It is very sneaky that they announce all these bullshit policies after taking your hundreds of Euros rather than being upfront about it. I much prefer the Live Nation/Ticketmaster US approach of treating their customers like adults (rather than a bunch of ticket touting criminals) and providing tickets when you pay for them. Why they treat Europeans with such contempt is beyond me except, perhaps, all this talk of cooperating with the government in Belgium. I wish such European governments would stop interfering in everyone's lives at such a micro level - they take the joy out of what ought to be a joyous occasion. GRrrr
