Make it illegal for company's touting concert/event tickets
Big companys that profit from fans desperate to see bands and artists live need to face greater consequences. They ruin the experience we all enjoy of seeing live performances, by bulk buying and reselling for double/triple/quadruple face value for their own profit.
GETMEIN, StubHub and many other company's are able to use computer programmes to go in and buy hundreds of tickets at a time to sell on for unaffordable prices. It puts pressure and exploits working class families with children who are desperate to see their idols live on the occasion that they are touring in their city. Also peoples expectations are raised when they're paying £200+ for a concert that should only of been £50, and often people are left thinking "Was that it?"..
