The band were left fuming after discovering tickets for an Edinburgh, Scotland gig were being illegally sold on eBay.

Frontman Richard Archer reveals the band tracked down the culprits and confiscated the tickets, before giving them to their loyal fans.

He says, "We wanted it to be our fans getting the tickets. People on our mailing list went into a ballot but it got leaked on a public website.

"Some people may have bought tickets then were genuinely not able to go so they sell them, which is fine. If we found out who did it, we took the tickets off them and reallocated them to a real fan."
