Thom Yorke criticises eBay ticket touts

Thom Yorke has criticised people selling tickets for the Friends Of The Earth Big Ask concert on eBay for up to £200, asking them to donate part of their profits.

Back to Radiohead related news, and Thom Yorke has had a (justified) pop at those people touting tickets for the Friends Of The Earth Big Ask concert. As previously reported, tickets for the event, which originally retailed at £55, are being sold on eBay for as much as £200 each.

Yorke, who will appear at the gig alongside bandmate Jonny Greenwood as well as Kate Rusby and Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys, wrote on the official Radiohead website: "Might I suggest that those selling their Koko tickets on eBay for stupid money give a contribution... say 30 percent of their proceeds, back to Friends Of The Earth, for whose benefit we are all doing this show. Seems only fair, unless you're a shallow____, don't you think?"

The blank is presumably a four letter word of some kind. I don't know which, so I'll let you decide for yourself.
