Make it illegal to re-sell concert, theatre tickets etc above their face value.
Tickets go on sale and are on secondary sites for sale straight away at many times above there face value,this denies fans the opportunity to go and see artists, shows and sport events because they cannot get tickets at affordable prices. Stop tickets companies re-selling tickets above face value.
There have been many attempts to get the Government, tickets companies and artists them selves to stop this practice. Only yesterday 10/03/2017 people were trying to buy tickets for 2 concerts in London, ticketmaster stating sold out and re-directing you to there other secondary sites Seat Wave, Get Me In where they sell them 3-4 times plus above there face value.This practice has to be stopped.
