Perhaps one could trace an "incident" to a named person in a festival of
400 people. Managing the feat amongst a quarter million people would be
somewhat harder.

Why is that? I'd rather pay a tout than spend 14 hours hitting the
bloody redial button. Basically I'm just paying them for the
convenience.

If Glasters want to eliminate touts, then sell the tickets at the market
price rather than under it. After all, those who can't afford it have
the option of working the festival and getting free entry.
