Arcade Fire Slam Ticket Touts

After announcing a London residency for early 2007, Arcade Fire have now slammed touts and threatened to cancel tickets after the gigs sold out immediately, with many of the tickets appearing on eBay at huge prices.

As a result, Arcade Fire have promised to make new tickets for extra shows available and have issued the following statement:

"Due to the overwhelming demand for The Arcade Fire London shows, we would like to advise fans that we will be releasing some tickets for sale prior to doors opening for each London show."

"There will also be extra shows announced soon giving more people the opportunity to see the band perform. Please don't encourage the touts."

"Wherever we have email addresses and ticket numbers for sellers we will cancel the tickets and put them back up for sale on show day."

"Please don't buy from them and risk your tickets being cancelled."
