KYLIE CRACKDOWN ON TICKET TOUTS

Australian pop star KYLIE MINOGUE has demanded touted tickets for her London comeback shows be cancelled so genuine fans have the chance to see her perform.

Seats at the singer's concerts next January (07) went on sale last month (JUL06) and sold out in just six minutes.

But Minogue was mortified to discover tickets are being resold on auction site eBay for more than five times the face value.

Promoter HARVEY GOLDSMITH says, "eBay are an absolute disgrace. They have no right to be doing what they are doing.

"They are a thorn in the side of the industry. Every time we do a show we have to track eBay down, we have to find the seats and we cancel them. We will continue to do so. It is doing them a disservice, the public a disservice and it is doing the artists a disservice."
