| One explaination for "concentrated blocks" being available is whether these had been sold as part of a a priority pre-sale, prior to tickets going on general sale. I know that American Express and O2 customers sometimes have these offers availalbe to them, 24 hrs before general release.
Or, it could just be a conspiracy, since its very frustrating to be denied the opportunity to buy tickets to an event, despite trying as soon as they go on sale, only to find them on inflated resale almost immediately after.

There was a high profile issue in the USA a few years ago where Ticketmaster redirected buyers, for Bruce Springsteen tickets, straight to a resale site despite tickets being still available at face value.

It won't change a thing in fact it will push more sellers to totally unregulated sites like the eBay owned Gumtree, and craigslist.

Yeah, I'm sure people will be queueing up to buy tickets from Craigslist. The only stories I've seen in the news about Craigslist are of 'meet ups' gone wrong that have ended in attacks and murders!
