I had a similar problem, and the explanation I had was that the contract
you have is with the event promoter/venue and not with the ticket
extortionists. So they're allowed [and AFAIK required by the promoters]
to pass your details on to the event and promotion companies. If you're
being spammed by one of those there's less you can do :/
