Make price gouging on concert and event tickets a fineable offence

Petition Details

It is disgusting that people get away with buying tickets to high profile events and sell them at ridiculous prices far above face value. It is theft from the artist and from those who are having their chance to see it taken away. Stop price gouging!

Additional Information

I recently seen an ad for a concert that was 300%+ above face value which is disgusting! Price gouging is stealing and it is ruining the music industry.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask Parliament to change the law to make it illegal to resell a ticket at more than its face value, if that's what you would like to happen.
