Stop companies from obtaining and reselling concert tickets at inflated prices.
Bands 'sell out' their concerts in minutes. However, 2 minutes later, reselling ticket companies (seatwave, ticket master, GetMeIn, Viagogo) have tickets, selling them for a highly inflated price, sometimes over 3X the original price. Leaving fans disappointed and unable to see their favourite band
For Example, Catfish and the Bottlemen, recently sold out in 5 minutes. at 10:02 the ticket companies previously mentioned were selling tickets for £69 and upward, some tickets costing £158. The original selling price of the ticket was £19.50. As a fan from the beginning I think this is totally unfair and more should be put in place to stop this from happening. Tickets should be capped at how much they're allowed to sell for.
