Arcade Fire Slam Scalpers

Canadian indie kids Arcade Fire have lashed out at scalpers in London after announcing a run of five dates in the British capital.

Where possible, the band will cancel tickets they see up on eBay and are telling fans not to buy tickets from the auction site or risk being refused entry at the door.

Each show will have tickets available on the door as well, at the same cost as when they went on sale.

The shows are the first the band have done in the U.K. since September 2005. Their residency in the city begins on January 29 at St. John's Church.

Shortly after they finish their run of dates, they head back to their home city of Montreal for five nights at the Ukrainian National Federation from February 6.
