New York City has banned programmes used by touts to harvest vast numbers of tickets for live events. Should the UK follow suit?

We take a close look at the problem of ticket touting - and how programmes called "bots" are used to automatically harvest large numbers of tickets for resale on the secondary market - often at vastly-inflated prices. It is completely legal, but we speak to an MP and music fans trying to get bots banned, and a performer trying to outwit the touts.
