Change the law on reselling entertainment tickets for profit
Ban the reselling of entertainment tickets for higher than face value.
It is currently illegal to resell football tickets for a higher price than they were originally sold. This law does not apply for reselling of tickets for other forms of entertainment (eg music concerts).
There are reseller websites such as Viagogo etc, which allow people to sell on their tickets for whatever price they want to, often for a massive profit.
This prices out real fans and causes a huge, unnecessary demand when tickets first go on sale. Resale should be allowed but not for profit.
