Prevent ticket companies reselling for higher than face value
True fans are unable to attend concerts for their favourite musicians due to greedy ticket merchants. Concerts are selling out within a few mins of tickets going on sale then being resold for as much as x4 face value. It should be illegal to resell at a higher price.
I spent 2 hours, and 5 different devices, attempting to buy ed sheeran tickets yet by the time I got in the tickets had sold out. However ticket sites such as getmein and viagogo are selling them for £300-£500 per ticket. These tickets have a face value of £65-£85
